Psalm
The heavens describe the glory of God, and the firmament announces the work of his hands. Day proclaims the word to day. There are no speeches or conversations, where their voices are not being heard. Their sound has gone forth through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Antiphon
In the light of the saints, teach us the quiet way of heaven.
First Reading
Revelation 7:9–17
Catholic Public Domain Version (public domain)
After these things, I saw a great crowd, which no one could number, from all the nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. And they cried out, with a great voice, saying: “Salvation is from our God, who sits upon the throne, and from the Lamb.” And all the Angels were standing around the throne, with the elders and the four living creatures. And they fell upon their faces in view of the throne, and they worshipped God, saying: “Amen. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving, honor and power and strength to our God, forever and ever. Amen.” And one of the elders responded and said to me: “These ones who are clothed in white robes, who are they? And where did they come from?” And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and have made them white by the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and they serve him, day and night, in his temple. And the One who sits upon the throne shall dwell over them. They shall not hunger, nor shall they thirst, anymore. Neither shall the sun beat down upon them, nor any heat. For the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will rule over them, and he will lead them to the fountains of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
