First Reading for 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year A - Daily Catholic Mass Reading
Isaiah 45:1, 4-6
Thus says the LORD to his anointed, Cyrus, whose right hand I grasp, subduing nations before him, and making kings run in his service, opening doors before him and leaving the gates unbarred:
For the sake of Jacob, my servant, of Israel, my chosen one, I have called you by your name, giving you a title, though you knew me not.
I am the LORD and there is no other, there is no God besides me.
It is I who arm you, though you know me not, so that toward the rising and the setting of the sun people may know that there is none besides me.
I am the LORD, there is no other.
