First Reading
Isaiah 60:1-6
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
1Arise, be enlightened, OH Jerusalem: for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
2For look darkness shall cover the earth, and a mist the people: but the Lord shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you.
3And the Gentiles shall walk in your light, and kings in the brightness of your rising.
4Lift up your eyes round about, and see: all these are gathered together, they are come to you: your sons shah come from afar, and your daughters shall rise up at your side.
5Then shall you see, and abound, and your heart shall wonder and be enlarged, when the crowd of the sea shall be converted to you, the. strength of the Gentiles shall come to you.
6The crowd of camels shall cover you, the dromedaries of Madian and Epha: all they from Saba shall come, bringing gold and frankincense: and shewing forth praise to the Lord.
