SUNDAY’S READINGS DECEMBER 27, 2020 FIRST READING The story of Abram and Sarah and their struggle to have a family cen- ters on Abram’s faith in the Lord. When have you needed to rely on faith when it comes to your family? SECOND READING The author of Hebrews holds up Abraham as a model for the faith. When have you had to unconditionally trust in the Lord? GOSPEL READING Only Luke records the presentation in the Temple of the baby Jesus. Simeon reveals to Mary and Joseph insights into Jesus and his destiny. How do you imagine Mary and Joseph understood Simeon’s words? READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 27, 2020 SUN 12/27: Sir 3:2-6, 12-14/Col 3:12-21/Lk 2:22-40 MON 12/28: 1 Jn 1:5—2:2/Mt 2:13-18 TUE 12/29: 1 Jn 2:3-11/Lk 2:22-35 WED 12/30: 1 Jn 2:12-17/Lk 2:36-40 THU 12/31: 1 Jn 2:18-21/Jn 1:1-18 FRI 01/01: Nm 6:22-27/Gal 4:4-7/Lk 2:16-21 SAT 01/02: 1 Jn 2:22-28/Jn 1:19-28 SUN 01/03: Is 60:1-6/Eph 3:2-3a, 5-6/Mt 2:1-12 ©LPi JANUARY 3, 2021 FIRST READING In late 6th century BC, the prophet Isaiah proclaimed an unimaginable future of glory for Israel in the wake of their return from seventy years of captivity in Babylon. What message of hope does our nation need today? SECOND READING Paul speaks of God’s “revelation” to include Gentiles as “coheirs” and “copartners” with Jews in the divine promise fulfilled in Christ Jesus. How welcoming are you to those you consider outsiders? GOSPEL READING The magi’s visit to discover the “newborn king of the Jews” caused great anxiety for the religious leaders of Jerusalem, including King Herod. Why do you think some people are not open to the good news of Jesus Christ? READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 3, 2021 SUN 01/03: Is 60:1-6/Eph 3:2-3a, 5-6/Mt 2:1-12 MON 01/04: 1 Jn 3:22—4:6/Mt 4:12-17, 23-25 TUE 01/05: 1 Jn 4:7-10/Mk 6:34-44 WED 01/06: 1 Jn 4:11-18/Mk 6:45-52 THU 01/07: 1 Jn 4:19—5:4/Lk 4:14-22a FRI 01/08: 1 Jn 5:5-13/Lk 5:12-16 SAT 01/09: 1 Jn 5:14-21/Jn 3:22-30 SUN 01/10: Is 42:1-4, 6-7/Acts 10:34-38/Mk 1:7-11 ©LPi
