Readings for the Eucharists
A Reading from the Prophecy of Isaiah: Isaiah 60.1-6
Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.
For darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples;
but the LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will appear over you.
Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
Lift up your eyes and look around; they all gather together, they come to you;
your sons shall come from far away,
and your daughters shall be carried on their nurses’ arms.
Then you shall see and be radiant; your heart shall thrill and rejoice,
because the abundance of the sea shall be brought to you,
the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
A multitude of camels shall cover you, the young camels of Midian and Ephah;
all those from Sheba shall come.
They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praise of the LORD.
Reader: This is the word of the Lord.
Response: Thanks be to God.
A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians Ephesians 3.1-12
This is the reason that I Paul am a prisoner for Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
for surely you have already heard of the commission of God’s grace that was given to me
for you, and how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I wrote above in a
few words, a reading of which will enable you to perceive my understanding of the
mystery of Christ. In former generations this mystery was not made known to humankind,
as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: that is, the
Gentiles have become fellow-heirs, members of the same body, and sharers in the
promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
Of this gospel I have become a servant according to the gift of God’s grace that was given
to me by the working of his power. Although I am the very least of all the saints, this grace
was given to me to bring to the Gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ, and to
make everyone see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all
things; so that through the church the wisdom of God in its rich variety might now be
made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was in accordance
with the eternal purpose that he has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we
have access to God in boldness and confidence through faith in him.
Reader: This is the word of the Lord.
Response: Thanks be to God.

The Gospel Acclamation - Sung by all
Choir:
All:
Christ was revealed in flesh, proclaimed among the nations:
and believed in throughout the world Matthew 2.2
Alleluia, Alleluia….
Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew
Response: Glory to you, O Lord
The Gospel according to Matthew Matthew 2.1-12
In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men
from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, ‘Where is the child who has been born king
of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him
homage.’ When King Herod heard this, he was frightened, and all Jerusalem with
him; and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired
of them where the Messiah was to be born. They told him, ‘In Bethlehem of Judea;
for so it has been written by the prophet:
“And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for from you shall come a ruler
who is to shepherd my people Israel.” ’
Then Herod secretly called for the wise men and learned from them the exact time
when the star had appeared. Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, ‘Go and
search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that
I may also go and pay him homage.’ When they had heard the king, they set out;
and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it
stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw that the star had
stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the
child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then,
opening their treasure-chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and
myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for
their own country by another road.
Reader: This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Response: Praise to you, O Christ.
