Psalm I
Antiphon
Speak, Lord — your servant is listening in the quiet.
Psalm 19 (18):2–4
Catholic Public Domain Version (public domain)
Psalm
The heavens describe the glory of God, and the firmament announces the work of his hands. Day proclaims the word to day. There are no speeches or conversations, where their voices are not being heard. Their sound has gone forth through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Antiphon
Speak, Lord — your servant is listening in the quiet.
First Reading
Colossians 1:15–20
Catholic Public Domain Version (public domain)
He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature. For in him was created everything in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers. All things were created through him and in him. And he is before all, and in him all things continue. And he is the head of his body, the Church. He is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, so that in all things he may hold primacy. For the Father is well-pleased that all fullness reside in him, and that, through him, all things be reconciled to himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, for the things that are on earth, as well as the things that are in heaven.
