A Reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah 
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings glad tidings, announcing peace, bearing good news, announcing salvation, saying to Zion, 
“Your God is King!” 
Hark! Your sentinels raise a cry, together they shout for joy, 
For they see directly, before their eyes, the LORD restoring Zion. 
Break out together in song, O ruins of Jerusalem! 
For the LORD has comforted his people, he redeems Jerusalem. 
The LORD has bared his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; 
All the ends of the earth will behold the salvation of our God.

Proclaim - Isaiah 52:7-10

A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah 
The wilderness and the parched land will exult; the steppe will rejoice and bloom. 
They will bloom with abundant flowers, and rejoice with joyful song. 
The glory of Lebanon will be given to them, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; They will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God. 
Strengthen the hands that are feeble, make firm knees that are weak, say to those hearts that are frightened: Be strong, fear not! 
Here is your God, he comes with vindication; with divine recompense he comes to save you. 
Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf be cleared; Then the lame shall leap like a stag, then the tongue of the mute tongue will sing. 
For waters will burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the steppe. 
The burning sands will become pools, and the thirsty ground, springs of water; 
The abode where jackals crouch will be a marsh for the reed and papyrus. 
A highway will be there, called the holy way; No one unclean may pass over it, but it will be for his people; no traveler, not even fools, shall go astray on it. 
No lion shall be there, nor any beast of prey approach, nor be found. But there the redeemed shall walk, Those whom the Lord has ransomed will return, and enter Zion singing, crowned with everlasting joy; They meet with joy and gladness, sorrow and mourning will flee.

A Reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans 
Brothers and sisters: 
For whatever was written previously was written for our instruction, 
that by endurance and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope. 
May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to think in harmony with one another, in keeping with Christ Jesus, that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
Welcome one another, then, as Christ welcomed you, for the glory of God. 
For I say that Christ became a minister of the circumcised to show God’s truthfulness, to confirm the promises to the patriarchs, but so that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. 
As it is written: “Therefore, I will praise you among the Gentiles 
and sing praises to your name.

Proclaim - Paul's Letter to the Romans 15: 4-9

A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah: 
On that day a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom. 
 
The spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him: 
a spirit of wisdom and of understanding, 
A spirit of counsel and of strength, 
a spirit of knowledge and of fear of the LORD, 
and his delight shall be the fear of the LORD. 
Not by appearance shall he judge, nor by hearsay shall he decide, 
 
But he shall judge the poor with justice, and decide fairly for the land’s afflicted. 
He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked. 
Justice shall be the band around his waist, and faithfulness a belt upon his hips. 
Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; 
The calf and the young lion shall browse together, with a little child to guide them. 
The cow and the bear shall be neighbors, together their young shall rest; the lion shall eat hay like the ox. 
The baby shall play by the cobra's den, and the child lay his hand on the adder’s lair. 
They shall be no harm or ruin on all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the LORD, as water covers the sea. 
On that day, the root of Jesse, set up as a signal for the nations, 
The Gentiles shall seek out, for his dwelling shall be glorious.

Peter proceeded to speak to those gathered in the house of Cornelius, saying: “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. 
Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him. 
You know the word that he sent to the Israelites as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all, what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy Spirit and power. 
He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him."

Comfort, give comfort to my people, says your God. 
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her 
that her service is at an end, 
her guilt is expiated; 
indeed, she has received from the hand of the LORD 
double for all her sins. 
 
A voice cries out: 
In the desert prepare the way of the LORD! 
Make straight in the wasteland a highway for our God! 
Every valley shall be filled in, 
every mountain and hill shall be made low; 
the rugged land shall be made a plain, 
the rough country, a broad valley. 
 
Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, 
and all people shall see it together; 
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken. 
 
Go up on to a high mountain, 
Zion, herald of glad tidings; 
cry out at the top of your voice, 
Jerusalem, herald of good news! 
Fear not to cry out 
and say to the cities of Judah: 
Here is your God! 
 
Here comes with power 
the Lord GOD, 
who rules by a strong arm; 
here is his reward with him, 
his recompense before him. 
Like a shepherd he feeds his flock; 
in his arms he gathers the lambs, 
carrying them in his bosom, 
and leading the ewes with care.

Proclaim the Word - Isaiah 40:1-5, 9-11

A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah. 
 
Here is my servant whom I uphold,my chosen one with whom I am pleased. 
Upon him I have put my spirit; 
he shall bring forth justice to the nations.a 
He will not cry out, nor shout, 
nor make his voice heard in the street. 
A bruised reed he will not break, 
and a dimly burning wick he will not quench. 
He will faithfully bring forth justice. 
He will not grow dim or be bruised 
until he establishes justice on the earth; 
the coastlands will wait for his teaching. 
Thus says God, the LORD, 
who created the heavens and stretched them out, 
who spread out the earth and its produce, 
Who gives breath to its people 
and spirit to those who walk on it: 
I, the LORD, have called you for justice, 
I have grasped you by the hand; 
I formed you, and set you 
as a covenant for the people, 
a light for the nations, 
To open the eyes of the blind, 
to bring out prisoners from confinement, 
and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness. 
The Word of the Lord.

A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah. Here is my servant whom I uphold,my chosen one with whom I am pleased.
