  29. FIRST READING R: The first reading for Epiphany Sunday is written in the 60th Chapter of Isaiah beginning at Verse 1 Isaiah 60:1-6 CEV The nations will come to the light.

  30. Isaiah 60:1-6 Jerusalem, stand up! Shine! Your new day is dawning. The glory of the LORD shines brightly on you. 2The earth and its people are covered with darkness, but the glory of the LORD is shining upon you. 3Nations and kings will come to the light of your dawning day. 

  31. Isaiah 60:1-6 The LORD said:4Open your eyes! Look around! Crowds are coming. Your sons are on their way from distant lands; your daughters are being carried like little children. 5When you see this, your faces will glow; your hearts will pound and swell with pride.

  32. Isaiah 60:1-6 Treasures from across the sea and the wealth of nations will be brought to you. 6Your country will be covered with caravans of young camels from Midian and Ephah The people of Sheba will bring gold and spices in praise of me, the LORD. This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God.

  33. Psalm 72:1-7,10-14 CEV R: The Psalm is Psalm 72 R: 1Please help the king to be honest and fair just like you, our God. C: 2Let him be honest and fair with all your people, especially the poor.

  34. Psalm 72:1-7,10-14 CEV R: 3Let peace and justice rule every mountain and hill. C: 4Let the king defend the poor, rescue the homeless, and crush everyone who hurts them. R: 5Let the king live forever like the sun and the moon.

  35. Psalm 72:1-7,10-14 CEV C: 6Let him be as helpful as rain that refreshes the meadows and the ground. R: 7Let the king be fair with everyone, and let there be peace until the moon falls from the sky.

  36. Psalm 72:1-7,10-14 CEV C: 10Force the rulers of Tarshish and of the islands to pay taxes to him. Make the kings of Sheba and of Seba bring gifts. R: 11Make other rulers bow down and all nations serve him.

  37. Psalm 72:1-7,10-14 CEV C: 12Do this because the king rescues the homeless when they cry out, and he helps everyone who is poor and in need.   R: 13The king has pity on the weak and the helpless and protects those in need.

  38. Psalm 72:1-7,10-14 CEV C: 14He cares when they hurt, and he saves them from cruel and violent deaths. C: Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit As it was in the beginning is now and will be for ever. Amen.

  39. SECOND READING R: The second reading for today is written in the 3rd Chapter of Ephesians beginning at verse one. Ephesians 3:1-12 CEV God reveals his age-long purpose in Christ

  40. Ephesians 3:1-12 R: Christ Jesus made me his prisoner, so that I could help you Gentiles. 2You have surely heard about God's kindness in choosing me to help you. 3In fact, this letter tells you a little about how God has shown me his mysterious ways.

  41. Ephesians 3:1-12 4As you read the letter, you will also find out how well I really do understand the mystery about Christ. 5No one knew about this mystery until God's Spirit told it to his holy apostles and prophets.

  42. Ephesians 3:1-12 6And the mystery is this: Because of Christ Jesus, the good news has given the Gentiles a share in the promises that God gave to the Jews. God has also let the Gentiles be part of the same body.

  43. Ephesians 3:1-12 7God treated me with kindness. His power worked in me, and it became my job to spread the good news. 8I am the least important of all God's people. But God was kind and chose me to tell the Gentiles that because of Christ there are blessings that cannot be measured.

  44. Ephesians 3:1-12 9God, who created everything, wanted me to help everyone understand the mysterious plan that had always been hidden in his mind.

  45. Ephesians 3:1-12 10Then God would use the church to show the powers and authorities in the spiritual world that he has many different kinds of wisdom.11God did this according to his eternal plan. And he was able to do what he had planned because of all that Christ Jesus our Lord had done.

  46. Ephesians 3:1-12 12Christ now gives us courage and confidence, so that we can come to God by faith. This is the word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God.
