EPIPHANY OF THE LORD
5:00 pm Novena to Our Lady
5:30 pm Sunset Mass
First Reading
ISAIAH 42:1-4, 6-7
1 Here is my servant
whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom my soul delights. I have sent my spirit
upon him, he will bring fair judgement to the nations.
2 He does not cry out
or raise his voice, his voice is not heard in the street;
3 he does not break the
crushed reed or snuff the faltering wick. Faithfully he presents fair
judgement;
4 he will not grow
faint, he will not be crushed until he has established fair judgement on earth,
and the coasts and islands are waiting for his instruction.
6 I, Yahweh, have
called you in saving justice, I have grasped you by the hand and shaped you; I
have made you a covenant of the people and light to the nations,
7 to open the eyes of
the blind, to free captives from prison, and those who live in darkness from
the dungeon.

Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 29:1-2, 3-4,
9-10
1 [Psalm Of David] Give
Yahweh his due, sons of God, give Yahweh his due of glory and strength,
2 give Yahweh the glory
due to his name, adore Yahweh in the splendour of holiness.
3 Yahweh's voice over the
waters, the God of glory thunders; Yahweh over countless waters,
4 Yahweh's voice in
power, Yahweh's voice in splendour;
9 Yahweh's voice
convulses terebinths, strips forests bare. In his palace all cry, 'Glory!'
10 Yahweh was enthroned
for the flood, Yahweh is enthroned as king for ever.
Second Reading
ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 10:34-38
34 Then Peter addressed
them, 'I now really understand', he said, 'that God has no favourites,
35 but that anybody of
any nationality who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
36 'God sent his word to
the people of Israel, and it was to them that the good news of peace was
brought by Jesus Christ -- he is the Lord of all.
37 You know what
happened all over Judaea, how Jesus of Nazareth began in Galilee, after John
had been preaching baptism.
38 God had anointed him
with the Holy Spirit and with power, and because God was with him, Jesus went
about doing good and curing all who had fallen into the power of the devil.

Gospel Reading
MARK 1:7-11
7 In the course of his
preaching he said, 'After me is coming someone who is more powerful than me,
and I am not fit to kneel down and undo the strap of his sandals.
8 I have baptised you
with water, but he will baptise you with the Holy Spirit.'
9 It was at this time
that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptised in the Jordan by
John.
10 And at once, as he
was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit,
like a dove, descending on him.
11 And a voice came from
heaven, 'You are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you.'
