 SPEAKS AND SUMMONS THE EARTH
 In the final days the temple will tower about the highest hills and
  mountains,

  SAVED.  YOU BROUGHT A VINE OUT OF EGYPT; YOU DROVE OUT THE NATIONS AND
  PLANTED IT.  YOU CLEARED THE GROUND FOR IT; IT TOOK DEEP ROOT AND FILLED
  THE LAND...TURN AGAIN, O GOD OF HOSTS; LOOK DOWN FROM HEAVEN, AND SEE; HAVE
  REGARD FOR THIS VINE, THE STOCK THAT YOUR RIGHT HAND PLANTED. Kyrie (sung)LORD HAVE MERCY UPON US.

 A Word of Assurance: Isaiah 52: 9-10 The Summary of the Law (Mk 12:29-31)This is the first commandment:
 HEAR O ISRAEL, THE LORD OUR GOD,  THE LORD IS ONE! 
  THEREFORE YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH

 There is no greater commandment than these.
