DR Squared: Monday Of The First Week In Advent (Year I)

First Reading:  Isaiah 2:1-5

The word that Isaias son of Amos saw, concerning Juda and Jerusalem. And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and all nation shall flow unto it. And many people shall go, and say:  Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths:  for the law shall come forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge the Gentiles, and rebuke many people:  and they shall turn their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles:  nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they be exercised any more to war. O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm:  Psalm 122 (121):1: V. 1-2, 3-4b, 4cd-5, 6-7, 8-9

R. I rejoiced at the things that were said to me:  We shall go into the house of the Lord.

V. I rejoiced at the things that were said to me:  We shall go into the house of the Lord.

Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

V. Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.

For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord:

V. the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.

Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.

V. Pray ye for the thing that are the peace of Jerusalem:  and abundance for those who love thee.

Let peace be in thy strength:  and abundance in thy towers.

V. For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.

Gospel Reading:  Matthew 8:5-11

And when he had entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a centurion beseeching him, and saying, Lord my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and is grievously tormented. And Jesus saith to him:  I will come and heal him. And the centurion making answer, said:  Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. For I am also a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers; and I say to this Go, and he goeth, and to another, Come, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. And Jesus hearing this, marvelled, and said to them that followed him:  Amen, I say to you, I have not found so great faith in Israel. And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Issac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven:
