Yesaya 56: 1 ,6-7

56:1 Demikianlah firman Tuhan: Preserve judgment, and accomplish justice. For my salvation is close to its arrival, and my justice is close to being revealed.

56:6 And the sons of the new arrival, who adhere to the Lord so as to worship him and to love his name, shall be his servants: all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it, and who hold to my covenant.

56:7 I will lead them to my holy mountain, and I will gladden them in my house of prayer. Their holocausts and their victims will be pleasing to me upon my altar. For my house will be called the house of prayer for all peoples.

Bacaan Kedua

orang Rom 11: 13-15, 29-34

11:13 Kerana Aku berkata kepada kamu orang bukan Yahudi: Sudah tentu, selama saya menjadi Rasul kepada orang bukan Yahudi, Saya akan menghormati kementerian saya,

11:14 sedemikian rupa sehingga saya boleh menimbulkan persaingan dengan mereka yang merupakan daging saya sendiri, dan supaya Aku dapat menyelamatkan sebahagian daripada mereka.

11:15 Kerana jika kerugian mereka adalah untuk pendamaian dunia, untuk apa kepulangan mereka, kecuali hidup daripada mati?

11:29 Kerana karunia dan panggilan Tuhan tiada penyesalan. 11:30 Dan sama seperti anda juga, pada masa lalu, tidak percaya kepada Tuhan, tetapi sekarang kamu telah beroleh belas kasihan kerana ketidakpercayaan mereka, 11:31 demikian juga mereka sekarang tidak percaya, untuk belas kasihan-Mu, supaya mereka juga mendapat belas kasihan.

11:32 Kerana Allah telah menyelubungi setiap orang dalam ketidakpercayaan, supaya Dia mengasihani semua orang.

11:33 Oh, kedalaman kekayaan hikmat dan pengetahuan Tuhan! Betapa tidak dapat difahami penilaiannya, dan betapa tidak dapat diselidiki jalan-jalan-Nya!

11:34 Kerana siapa yang tahu fikiran Tuhan? Atau siapa yang pernah menjadi penasihatnya?

Injil

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 15: 21-28

31:1	“In that time, firman Tuhan, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”
31:2	Demikianlah firman Tuhan: “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. Oleh itu, 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	For thus says the Lord: “Exult in the joy of Jacob, and neigh before the head of the Gentiles. Shout, and sing, and say: 'Ya Tuhan, save your people, the remnant of Israel!'
