ΑΝΑΓΝΩΣΗ

Ησάιας 56: 1 ,6-7

56:1 Έτσι λέει ο Κύριος: Διατηρήστε την κρίση, και να αποδώσει δικαιοσύνη. Γιατί η σωτηρία μου είναι κοντά στην άφιξή της, και η δικαιοσύνη μου κοντεύει να αποκαλυφθεί.

56:6 Και οι γιοι της νέας άφιξης, που προσκολλώνται στον Κύριο για να τον λατρεύουν και να αγαπούν το όνομά του, θα είναι υπηρέτες του: όλοι όσοι τηρούν το Σάββατο χωρίς να το βεβηλώνουν, και που τηρούν τη διαθήκη μου.

56:7 Θα τους οδηγήσω στο άγιο βουνό μου, και θα τους χαρώ στο σπίτι της προσευχής μου. Τα ολοκαυτώματα τους και τα θύματά τους θα είναι ευχάριστα για μένα στο βωμό μου. Γιατί το σπίτι μου θα ονομαστεί οίκος προσευχής για όλους τους λαούς.

Δεύτερη Ανάγνωση

Romans 11: 13-15, 29-34

11:13 For I say to you Gentiles: Σίγουρα, as long as I am an Apostle to the Gentiles, I will honor my ministry,

11:14 in such a way that I might provoke to rivalry those who are my own flesh, and so that I may save some of them.

11:15 For if their loss is for the reconciliation of the world, what could their return be for, except life out of death?

11:29 For the gifts and the call of God are without regret. 11:30 And just as you also, σε περασμένες εποχές, did not believe in God, but now you have obtained mercy because of their unbelief, 11:31 so also have these now not believed, for your mercy, so that they might obtain mercy also.

11:32 For God has enclosed everyone in unbelief, so that he may have mercy on everyone.

11:33 Oh, the depths of the richness of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable are his ways!

11:34 For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?

Ευαγγέλιο

Το κατά Ματθαίον Ιερό Ευαγγέλιο 15: 21-28

31:1	“In that time, λέει ο Κύριος, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”
31:2	Έτσι λέει ο Κύριος: “The people who had remained after the sword, found grace in the desert. Israel will go to his rest.”
31:3	The Lord appeared to me from a distance: “And I have loved you in perpetual charity. Επομένως, showing pity, I have drawn you.
31:4	And I will build you up again. And you shall be built up, O virgin of Israel. Still shall you be adorned with your timbrels, and still shall you go forth to the singing of those who play.
31:5	Still shall you plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. The planters will plant, and they will not gather the vintage until the time arrives.
31:6	For there will be a day on which the guardians on mount Ephraim will cry out: ‘Arise! And let us ascend on Zion to the Lord our God!''
31:7	Γιατί έτσι λέει ο Κύριος: “Exult in the joy of Jacob, and neigh before the head of the Gentiles. Shout, and sing, και πες: ‘O Lord, save your people, the remnant of Israel!''
