Summary for the teacher

In the Temple, Isaiah had a vision of the Lord on a high throne, with seraphim singing "Holy, holy, holy". He was afraid because of his sins, but a seraph touched his lips with a burning coal and told him he was forgiven. When God asked who would carry his message, Isaiah answered: "Here am I. Send me".
