1st Reading – Isaiah 26:1-6
1 In that day, this canticle will be sung in the land of Judah. Within it will be set the city of our strength: Zion, a savior, a wall with a bulwark.
2 Open the gates, and let the just people who guard the truth enter.
3 The old error has gone away. You will serve peace: peace, for we have hoped in you.
4 You have trusted in the Lord for all eternity, in the Lord God almighty forever.
5 For he will bend down those living in the heights. He will bring low the lofty city. He will lower it, even to the ground. He will tear it down, even to the dust.
6 The foot will tread it down: the feet of the poor, the steps of the indigent.

Gospel – Matthew 7:21, 24-27
Jesus said to his disciples:
21 Not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 Everyone therefore that hears my words, and does them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,
25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.
26 And everyone that hears my words, and does them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,
27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it collapsed and was completely ruined.”
