First Reading for the Optional Memorial of Saint Anthony Mary Claret, Bishop

Isaiah 52:7-10

Summary: The Lord brings peace and salvation. His return brings joy to Jerusalem. All nations will see what God has done, and the whole earth will know that he saves.

The Messenger of Peace

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings glad tidings, announcing peace, bearing good news, announcing salvation, and saying to Zion, “Your God is King!”

Hark! Your sentinels raise a cry, together they shout for joy, for they see directly, before their eyes, the LORD restoring Zion.

Break out together in song, O ruins of Jerusalem! For the LORD comforts his people, he redeems Jerusalem.

The LORD has bared his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will behold the salvation of our God.
