Prayer
Bless the Lord, whose name is to be praised,
Our Father who art in heaven,
who has given us his laws,
to show us the error of our ways,
Blessed is his son, Christ the Messiah,
who redeemed us from having broken them.
Blessed are you, O Holy Spirit,
who assists us in sinning no more,
and sustains us in the way of the Lord,
grant us wisdom and understanding this day.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - The islands praise the Lord

13Throughout the landa the story is the same — only a remnant is left.
14But all who are left will shout and sing for joy; those in the west will praise the majesty of God, 15-16and those in the east will respond with praise. Hear them singing to the Lord from the ends of the earth, singing glory to the Righteous One!
But my heart is heavy with grief, for evil still prevails and treachery is everywhere.
. . . . .Isaiah 24:13-16a- Or possibly, “Throughout the nations of the world.”
