Sixth Day in the Octave of Christmas
1st Reading – 1 John 2:12-17

I am writing to you, little sons, because your sins are forgiven for the sake of his name.

I am writing to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, adolescents, because you have overcome the evil one.

I am writing to you, little children, because you have known the Father. I am writing to you, young men, because you are strong, and the Word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

Do not choose to love the world, nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world is the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the arrogance of a life which is not of the Father, but is of the world.

And the world is passing away, with its desire. But whoever does the will of God abides unto eternity.


Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 96:7-8A, 8B-9, 10

R. Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice!

Give to the LORD, you families of nations,
give to the LORD glory and praise;
give to the LORD the glory due his name!

R. Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice!

Bring gifts, and enter his courts;
worship the LORD in holy attire.
Tremble before him, all the earth.

R. Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice!

Say among the nations: The LORD is king.
He has made the world firm, not to be moved;
he governs the peoples with equity.

R. Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice!


Alleluia

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
A holy day has dawned upon us.
Come, you nations, and adore the Lord.
Today a great light has come upon the earth.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.


Gospel – Luke 2:36-40

And there was a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher. She was very advanced in years, and she had lived with her husband for seven years from her virginity.

And then she was a widow, even to her eighty-fourth year. And without departing from the temple, she was a servant to fasting and prayer, night and day.

And entering at the same hour, she confessed to the Lord. And she spoke about him to all who were awaiting the redemption of Israel.

And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city, Nazareth.

Now the child grew, and he was strengthened with the fullness of wisdom. And the grace of God was in him.
