Reading 1, Micah 7:14-15, 18-20

¹⁴ With shepherd's crook lead your people to pasture, the flock that is your heritage, living confined in a forest with meadow land all round. Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead as in the days of old!

¹⁵ As in the days when you came out of Egypt, grant us to see wonders!

¹⁸ What god can compare with you for pardoning guilt and for overlooking crime? He does not harbour anger for ever, since he delights in showing faithful love.

¹⁹ Once more have pity on us, tread down our faults; throw all our sins to the bottom of the sea.

²⁰ Grant Jacob your faithfulness, and Abraham your faithful love, as you swore to our ancestors from the days of long ago.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 85:2-4, 5-6, 7-8

² you take away the guilt of your people, you blot out all their sin.

³ You retract all your anger, you renounce the heat of your fury.

⁴ Bring us back, God our Saviour, appease your indignation against us!

⁵ Will you be angry with us for ever? Will you prolong your wrath age after age?

⁶ Will you not give us life again, for your people to rejoice in you?

⁷ Show us, Lord, your faithful love, grant us your saving help.

⁸ I am listening. What is God's message? Yahweh's message is peace for his people, for his faithful, if only they renounce their folly.
