Their sound goes forth through all the earth.The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands. Day unto day conveys the message, and night unto night imparts the knowledge.No speech, no word, whose voice goes unheeded; their sound goes forth through all the earth, their message to the utmost bounds of the world.R/. Their sound goes forth through all the earth.Gospel: John 14:6-14At that time:  Jesus said to Thomas,  “I am the way, and the truth, and the life;  no one comes to the Father, but by me.  If you had known me,  you would have known my Father also;  henceforth you know him and have seen him.” Philip said to him,  “Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long,  and yet you do not know me, Philip?  He who has seen me has seen the Father;  how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?  Do you not believe that I am in the Father  and the Father is in me?  The words that I say to you  I do not speak on my own authority;  but the Father who dwells in me does his works.  Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me;  or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves. “Truly, truly, I say to you,  he who believes in me will also do the works that I do;  and greater works than these will he do,  because I go to the Father.  Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it,  that the Father may be glorified in the Son;  if you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
