First Reading for the Memorial of Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Zechariah 2:14-17

Summary: The Lord will come to live among his people, and many nations will join him. Silence before the Lord, for he has risen from his holy place.

Rejoice, Daughter Zion

Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion! See, I am coming to dwell among you, says the LORD. Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD on that day, and they shall be his people, and he will dwell among you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.

The LORD will possess Judah as his portion in the holy land, and he will again choose Jerusalem. Silence, all mankind, in the presence of the LORD! He stirs forth from his holy dwelling.
