Today’s Readings
Colossians 3.12-17 12As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with
compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13Bear with one an-
other and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just
as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14Above all, clothe
yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were
called in the one body. And be thankful. 16Let 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. 17And whatever
you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God the Father through him.

Luke 2. 33-35 33The child’s father and mother were amazed at what was being said about
Jesus. 34Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, ‘This child is
destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that
will be opposed 35so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed - and a
sword will pierce your own soul too.’
