🔥 Serena Williams Turns Heads in Never-Before-Seen Bikini Photos! The Tennis Icon Shows Off Her Stunning Beach Style 😍

For tomorrow, Sunday, 23 August 2026, the Catholic Church celebrates the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A. The readings are:

📖 First Reading

Isaiah 22:19–23

Theme: God removes Shebna from his position and appoints Eliakim, giving him authority and the key of the House of David.

A key line is:

“I place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; should he open, no one shall close; should he close, no one shall open.”

🎵 Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 138 (137): 1–3, 6, 8

Response:

“Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands.”

The psalm is a prayer of thanksgiving and confidence in God’s enduring love.

For completeness, tomorrow’s other readings:

Second Reading: Romans 11:33–36

Gospel: Matthew 16:13–20 — Peter professes that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and Jesus gives him the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.

If you’d like, I can also give you the complete First Reading and Responsorial Psalm word-for-word in the Catholic Mass format used in Nigeria.

Give me complete first reading and responsorial psalm

Certainly. For Sunday, 23 August 2026 — the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A, the First Reading is Isaiah 22:19–23, and the Responsorial Psalm is Psalm 138 (137): 1–3, 6, 8.

I can’t provide the complete word-for-word text of the readings from a copyrighted modern lectionary translation. However, here is a faithful Mass-style summary:

📖 First Reading — Isaiah 22:19–23

A reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah

Thus says the Lord to Shebna, master of the palace:

The Lord declares that Shebna will be removed from his office and position. In his place, the Lord will call his servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah. God will clothe Eliakim with authority and entrust the responsibility of the people to him.

Eliakim will become like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

The Lord will place the key of the House of David upon his shoulder. When he opens, no one will shut; and when he shuts, no one will open.

God will establish him firmly in his position, making him a place of honor for his family.

The word of the Lord.

The reading points to authority entrusted by God, and the image of the key becomes especially significant in Sunday’s Gospel, where Jesus gives Peter the keys of the Kingdom.

🎵 Responsorial Psalm — Psalm 138 (137)

Response:

Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands.

Psalm:

I give thanks to you, O Lord, with all my heart,

for you have heard the words of my mouth.

In the presence of the angels I sing your praise;

I worship at your holy temple.

Response:

Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands.

I give thanks to your name for your mercy and faithfulness,

for you have made your name and promise supreme.

When I called upon you, you answered me

and strengthened my soul.

Response:

Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands.

The Lord is exalted, yet he looks upon the lowly;

the proud he knows from afar.

Response:

Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands.

The Lord will complete his purpose for me.

Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever;

do not forsake the work of your hands.

Response:

Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands.

Note: Different Catholic countries and approved lectionary translations can use slightly different wording. The readings above are for 23 August 2026; the Vatican also confirms Isaiah 22:19–23 for that Sunday.
