Readings at Mass

Liturgical Colour: Violet. Year: A(II).

First reading	Isaiah 29:17-24

‘In that day the eyes of the blind shall see.’

Thus says the Lord:

Is it not yet a very little while

until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field,

and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest?

In that day the deaf shall hear

the words of a book,

and out of their gloom and darkness

the eyes of the blind shall see.

The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the Lord,

and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.

For the ruthless shall come to nothing

and the scoffer cease,

and all who watch to do evil shall be cut off,

who by a word make a man out to be an offender,

and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,

and with an empty plea turn aside him who is in the right.

Therefore thus says the Lord,

who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob:

‘Jacob shall no more be ashamed,

no more shall his face grow pale.

For when he sees his children,

the work of my hands, in his midst,

they will sanctify my name;

they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob

and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

And those who go astray in spirit will come to understanding,

and those who murmur will accept instruction.’

How to listen

Responsorial Psalm
Ps 27(26):1. 4. 13-14. ℟1a

The Lord is my light and my salvation.

The Lord is my light and my salvation;

whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the stronghold of my life;

whom should I dread?

The Lord is my light and my salvation.

There is one thing I ask of the Lord,

only this do I seek:

to live in the house of the Lord

all the days of my life,

to gaze on the beauty of the Lord,

to enquire at his temple.

The Lord is my light and my salvation.

I believe I shall see the Lord’s goodness

in the land of the living.

Wait for the Lord; be strong;

be stout-hearted, and wait for the Lord!

The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Gospel Acclamation

Alleluia, alleluia.

Behold, our Lord will come with power

and will enlighten the eyes of his servants.

Alleluia.

Gospel	Matthew 9:27-31

Two blind men who believe in Jesus are healed.

At that time: As Jesus passed on from Capernaum, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, ‘Have mercy on us, Son of David.’ When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ They said to him, ‘Yes, Lord.’ Then he touched their eyes, saying, ‘According to your faith be it done to you.’ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, ‘See that no one knows about it.’ But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.
