Reading 1, Isaiah 6:1-8

¹ In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne; his train filled the sanctuary.

² Above him stood seraphs, each one with six wings: two to cover its face, two to cover its feet and two for flying;

³ and they were shouting these words to each other: Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh Sabaoth. His glory fills the whole earth.

⁴ The door-posts shook at the sound of their shouting, and the Temple was full of smoke.

⁵ Then I said: 'Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh Sabaoth.'

⁶ Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding in its hand a live coal which it had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs.

⁷ With this it touched my mouth and said: 'Look, this has touched your lips, your guilt has been removed and your sin forgiven.'

⁸ I then heard the voice of the Lord saying: 'Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?' And I said, 'Here am I, send me.'

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 93:1, 1-2, 5

¹ Yahweh is king, robed in majesty, robed is Yahweh and girded with power.

² The world is indeed set firm, it can never be shaken; your throne is set firm from of old, from all eternity you exist.

⁵ Your decrees stand firm, unshakeable, holiness is the beauty of your house, Yahweh, for all time to come.
