Readings for 21-11-2014 First reading Apocalypse 10:8-11 © I, John, heard the voice I had heard from heaven speaking to me again. ‘Go,’ it said ‘and take that open scroll out of the hand of the angel standing on sea and land.’ I went to the angel and asked him to give me the small scroll, and he said, ‘Take it and eat it; it will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will taste as sweet as honey.’ So I took it out of the angel’s hand, and swallowed it; it was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach turned sour. Then I was told, ‘You are to prophesy again, this time about many different nations and countries and languages and emperors.’ Psalm Psalm 118:14,24,72,103,111,131 © Your promise is sweet to my taste, O Lord. I rejoiced to do your will as though all riches were mine. Your will is my delight; your statutes are my counsellors. Your promise is sweet to my taste, O Lord. The law from your mouth means more to me than silver and gold. Your promise is sweeter to my taste than honey in the mouth. Your promise is sweet to my taste, O Lord. Your will is my heritage for ever, the joy of my heart. I open my mouth and I sigh as I yearn for your commands. Your promise is sweet to my taste, O Lord.
