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 - God will swallow up death
1O Lord, I will honor and praise your name, for you are my God; you do such wonderful things! You planned them long ago, and now you have accomplished them, just as you said! 2You turn mighty cities into heaps of ruins. The strongest forts are turned to rubble. Beautiful palaces in distant lands disappear and will never be rebuilt. 3Therefore strong nations will shake with fear before you; ruthless nations will obey and glorify your name.
4But to the poor, O Lord, you are a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, a shelter from merciless men who are like a driving rain that melts down an earthen wall. 5As a hot, dry land is cooled by clouds, you will cool the pride of ruthless nations. 6Here on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, the Lord Almighty will spread a wondrous feast for everyone around the world — a delicious feast of good food, with clear, well-aged wine and choice beef. 7At that time he will remove the cloud of gloom, the pall of death that hangs over the earth; 8he will swallow up death forever. The Lord God will wipe away all tears and take away forever all insults and mockery against his land and people. The Lord has spoken — he will surely do it!
9 In that day the people will proclaim, “This is our God in whom we trust, for whom we waited. Now at last he is here.” What a day of rejoicing!
. . . . . Isaiah 25:1-9Intercession
