READINGS
The readings for this weekend's Masses are shown below in English. They are available
in eleven other languages including French,
German, Italian, Polish and Spanish by clicking on this
link.
First
Reading
2
Samuel 5:1-3
All
the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron. Look they said we are your own flesh
and blood. In days past when Saul was our king, it was you who led Israel in all
their exploits; and the Lord said to you, You are the man who shall be shepherd
of my people Israel, you shall be the leader of Israel. So all the elders of Israel
came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a pact with them at Hebron in
the presence of the Lord, and they anointed David king of Israel.
Second
Reading
Colossians
1:11-20
We
give thanks to the Father who has made it possible for you to join the saints
and with them to inherit the light. Because that is what he has done: he has taken
us out of the power of darkness and created a place for us in the kingdom of the
Son that he loves, and in him, we gain our freedom, the forgiveness of our sins.
He is the image of the unseen God and the first-born of all creation, for in him
were created all things in heaven and on earth: everything visible and everything
invisible, Thrones, Dominations, Sovereignties, Powers - all things were created
through him and for him. Before anything was created, he existed, and he holds
all things in unity. Now the Church is his body, he is its head. As he is the
Beginning, he was first to be born from the dead, so that he should be first in
every way; because God wanted all perfection to be found in him and all things
to be reconciled through him and for him, everything in heaven and everything
on earth, when he made peace by his death on the cross.
Gospel
Luke
23:35-43
The
people stayed there before the cross watching Jesus. As for the leaders, they
jeered at him. "He saved others," they said, "let him save himself
if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One." The soldiers mocked him too,
and when they approached to offer him vinegar they said, "If you are the
king of the Jews, save yourself." Above him there was an inscription: 'This
is the King of the Jews.' One of the criminals hanging there abused him. "Are
you not the Christ?" he said. "Save yourself and us as well." But
the other spoke up and rebuked him. "Have you no fear of God at all?"
he said. "You got the same sentence as he did, but in our case we deserved
it: we are paying for what we did. But this man has done nothing wrong."
"Jesus," he said, "remember me when you come into your kingdom."
"Indeed, I promise you," he replied, "today you will be with me
in paradise.".
