โ๏ธ MASS READING
๐ First Reading
ISAIAH 6:1-8
A reading from the Book of Prophet Isaiah
In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, with the train of his garment filling the temple. Seraphim were stationed above; each of them had six wings: with two they veiled their faces, with two they veiled their feet, and with two they hovered aloft.
They cried one to the other, โHoly, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts! All the earth is filled with his glory!โ At the sound of that cry, the frame of the door shook and the house was filled with smoke.
Then I said, โWoe is me, I am doomed! For I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!โ Then one of the seraphim flew to me, holding an ember that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
He touched my mouth with it and said, โSee, now that this has touched your lips, your wickedness is removed, your sin purged.โ
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, โWhom shall I send? Who will go for us?โ โHere I am,โ I said; โsend me!โ
The Word of the Lord.

โ๏ธGospel
MATTHEW 10:24-33
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew
Jesus said to his Apostles: โNo disciple is above his teacher,
no slave above his master. It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, for the slave that he become like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!
โTherefore do not be afraid of them. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known.
What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul;
rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Fatherโs knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father.โ
The Gospel of the Lord.
