Isaiah 2: 1-5

1This is what Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 2Zion, the Royal City of God - In days to come, The mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established as the highest mountain and raised above the hills. All nations shall stream toward it. 3Many peoples shall come and say: “Come, let us go up to the LORD’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, That he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For from Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4He shall judge between the nations, and set terms for many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; One nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again. 5House of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the LORD!

1Psalm 122 A Pilgrim’s Prayer for Jerusalem - A song of ascents. Of David. I - I rejoiced when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.” 2And now our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem. 3Jerusalem, built as a city, walled round about. 4There the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, As it was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. 5There are the thrones of justice, the thrones of the house of David. 6II - For the peace of Jerusalem pray: “May those who love you prosper! 7May peace be within your ramparts, prosperity within your towers.” 8For the sake of my brothers and friends I say, “Peace be with you.” 9For the sake of the house of the LORD, our God, I pray for your good.

Gospel

Matthew 8: 5-11

5When he entered Capernaum, a centurion approached him and appealed to him, 6saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully.” 7He said to him, “I will come and cure him.” 8The centurion said in reply, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed. 9For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come here,’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Amen, I say to you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith. 11I say to you, many will come from the east and the west, and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the banquet in the kingdom of heaven,
