The Collect

Almighty God, you have poured upon us the new light of your incarnate Word: Grant that this light, enkindled in our hearts, may shine forth in our lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Amen.

1st Reading: 1 Sam 2:18 (NRSV) READER: A Reading from the Word of God written in the First Book of the Samuel Chapter 2 beginning at the 18th verse

Samuel was ministering before the LORD, a boy wearing a linen ephod. His mother used to make for him a little robe and take it to him each year, when she went up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.Then E'li would bless Elka'nah and his wife, and say, "May the LORD repay you with children by this woman for the gift that she made to the LORD"; and then they would return to their home. Now the boy Samuel continued to grow both in stature and in favor with the LORD and with the people.

Praise him, sun and moon; * praise him, all you shining stars!

Praise him, heaven of heavens, * and you waters above the heavens!

Let them praise the name of the LORD, * for he commanded and they were created.

He made them stand fast forever and ever; * he gave them a law which shall not pass away.

Praise the LORD from the earth, * you sea-monsters and all deeps; Fire and hail, snow and fog, * tempestuous wind, doing his will!

Mountains and all hills, * - fruit trees and all cedars!

Wild animals and all cattle, * creeping things and winged birds!

Kings of the earth and all peoples, * princes and all rulers of the earth!

Young men and maidens, * - old and young together!

Let them praise the name of the LORD, * for his name only is exalted, his splendor is over earth and heaven.

He has raised up strength for his people, and praise for all his loyal servants, * the children of Israel, a people who are near him. Hallelujah!

Glory to the Father, and to the Son;* and to the Holy Spirit; As it was in the beginning is now:* and shall be forever. Amen Epistle: Colossians 3:12-17 (NRSV) Reading from the Word of God written in Colossians Chapter 3 beginning at the 12th verse.

As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect

harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is your acceptable duty in the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, or they may lose heart.

LECTORS & INTERCESSORS AT MASS TODAY

Now every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the festival of the Passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up as usual for the festival. When the festival was ended and they started to return, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it.

Assuming that he was in the group of travelers, they went a day's journey. Then they started to look for him among their relatives and friends. When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for him. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. When his parents saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, "Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching for you in great anxiety." He said to them, "Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"

But they did not understand what he said to them.

Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and in years, and in divine and human favor.
