Seated there at God's right hand:

glory to the three in one.
1st Reading: Book of Amos (6:1, 4-7)
Psalm (146) Response: My soul, give praise
to the Lord.
1. It is the Lord who keeps faith for ever,
who is just to those who are oppressed.
It is he who gives bread to the hungry,
the Lord, who sets prisoners free.
2. It is the Lord who gives sight to the blind,
who raises up those who are bowed
down. It is the Lord who loves the just,
the Lord, who protects the stranger.
3. He upholds the widow and the orphan
but thwarts the path of the wicked. The
Lord will reign for ever, Zion’s God, from
age to age.
