Lectura: Isaïes 26: 1 – 6

26:1 En aquell dia, aquest càntic serà cantat a la terra de Judà. Dins d'ella s'establirà la ciutat de la nostra força: Sió, un salvador, un mur amb un baluard.
26:2 Obriu les portes, i que entrin els justos que guarden la veritat.
26:3 L'antic error ha desaparegut. Serviràs la pau: pau, perquè hem esperat en tu.
26:4 Has confiat en el Senyor per tota l'eternitat, en el Senyor Déu totpoderós per sempre.
26:5 Perquè abatirà els que viuen a les altures. Ell farà baixar la ciutat elevada. Ell el baixarà, fins i tot a terra. Ell l'enderrocarà, fins i tot a la pols.
26:6 El peu el trepitjarà: els peus dels pobres, els passos dels indigents.

Holy Gospel according to Matthew 7: 21, 24 – 27

7:21 Not all who say to me, ‘Lord, Senyor,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does the will of my Father, qui està al cel, the same shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
7:22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Senyor, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and perform many powerful deeds in your name?’
7:23 And then will I disclose to them: ‘I have never known you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.’
7:24 Per tant, everyone who hears these words of mine and does them shall be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock.
7:25 And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, but it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
7:26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them shall be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.
7:27 And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, and it did fall, and great was its ruin.”
