First Reading
REVELATION 7:2-4,
9-14
2 Then I saw another angel rising where the sun
rises, carrying the seal of the living God; he called in a powerful voice to
the four angels whose duty was to devastate land and sea,
3 'Wait before you do any damage on land or at
sea or to the trees, until we have put the seal on the foreheads of the
servants of our God.'
4 And I heard how many had been sealed: a
hundred and forty-four thousand, out of all the tribes of Israel.
9 After that I saw that there was a huge
number, impossible for anyone to count, of people from every nation, race,
tribe and language; they were standing in front of the throne and in front of
the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palms in their hands. They shouted
in a loud voice,
10 'Salvation to our God, who sits on the
throne, and to the Lamb!'
11 And all the angels who were standing in a
circle round the throne, surrounding the elders and the four living creatures,
prostrated themselves before the throne, and touched the ground with their
foreheads, worshipping God
12 with these words: Amen. Praise and glory and
wisdom, thanksgiving and honour and power and strength to our God for ever and
ever. Amen.
13 One of the elders then spoke and asked me,
'Who are these people, dressed in white robes, and where have they come from?'
14 I answered him, 'You can tell me, sir.' Then
he said, 'These are the people who have been through the great trial; they have
washed their robes white again in the blood of the Lamb.

PSALMS 24:1-6
1 [Psalm Of David] To Yahweh belong the earth
and all it contains, the world and all who live there;
2 it is he who laid its foundations on the
seas, on the flowing waters fixed it firm.
3 Who shall go up to the mountain of Yahweh?
Who shall take a stand in his holy place?
4 The clean of hands and pure of heart, whose
heart is not set on vanities, who does not swear an oath in order to deceive.
5 Such a one will receive blessing from Yahweh,
saving justice from the God of his salvation.
6 Such is the people that seeks him, that seeks
your presence, God of Jacob.Pause
Second Reading
1 JOHN 3:1-3
1 You must see what great love the Father has
lavished on us by letting us be called God's children -- which is what we are!
The reason why the world does not acknowledge us is that it did not acknowledge
him.
2 My dear friends, we are already God's
children, but what we shall be in the future has not yet been revealed. We are
well aware that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him
as he really is.
3 Whoever treasures this hope of him purifies
himself, to be as pure as he is.

Gospel Reading
MATTHEW 5:1-12
2 Then he began to speak. This is what he
taught them:
3 How blessed are the poor in spirit: the
kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
4 Blessed are the gentle: they shall have the
earth as inheritance.
5 Blessed are those who mourn: they shall be comforted.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for
uprightness: they shall have their fill.
7 Blessed are the merciful: they shall have
mercy shown them.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: they shall see
God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: they shall be
recognised as children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted in the
cause of uprightness: the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
11 'Blessed are you when people abuse you and
persecute you and speak all kinds of calumny against you falsely on my account.
12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be
great in heaven; this is how they persecuted the prophets before you.
