First Reading –\u00a0Isaiah 6<\/span><\/h4>\n

On that day they will sing this song in the land of Judah:<\/p>\n

“A strong city have we;
\nhe sets up walls and ramparts to protect us.
\nOpen up the gates
\nto let in a nation that is just,
\none that keeps faith.
\nA nation of firm purpose you keep in peace;
\nin peace, for its trust in you.”<\/p>\n

Trust in the LORD forever!
\nFor the LORD is an eternal Rock.
\nHe humbles those in high places,
\nand the lofty city he brings down;
\nHe tumbles it to the ground,
\nlevels it with the dust.
\nIt is trampled underfoot by the needy,
\nby the footsteps of the poor.<\/p>\n

Gospel –\u00a0Matthew 7<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jesus said to his disciples:
\n“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’
\nwill enter the Kingdom of heaven,
\nbut only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.<\/p>\n

“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them
\nwill be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
\nThe rain fell, the floods came,
\nand the winds blew and buffeted the house.
\nBut it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.
\nAnd everyone who listens to these words of mine
\nbut does not act on them
\nwill be like a fool who built his house on sand.
\nThe rain fell, the floods came,
\nand the winds blew and buffeted the house.
\nAnd it collapsed and was completely ruined.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
