FEAST OF STO.

NINO (2ND SUNDAY IN OT, JANUARY 15, 2023)

(1st Reading)
A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light;
upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. You
have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, as they
rejoice before you as at the harvest, as people make merry when
dividing spoils. For the yoke that burdened them, the pole on their
shoulder, and the rod of their taskmaster you have smashed, as on
the day of Midian. For every boot that tramped in battle, every
cloak rolled in blood, will be burned as fuel for flames. For a child
is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests.
They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever,
Prince of Peace. His dominion is vast and forever peaceful. He will
rule as David’s successor, basing his power on right and justice,
from now until the end of time. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will
do this!

The Word of the Lord

(Second Reading)
A Reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has
blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as he chose
us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without
blemish before him. In love he destined us for adoption to himself through
Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of his will, for the praise of the glory
of his grace that he granted us in the beloved. Therefore, I, too, hearing of
your faith in the Lord Jesus and of your love for all the holy ones, do not
cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. May the God
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a Spirit of wisdom
and revelation resulting in knowledge of him. May the eyes of your hearts
be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call,
what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones.
The Word of the Lord!

GOSPEL READING:
Mt 18:1-5.10

P –The Lord be with you!

All – And with your spirit!
P –A proclamation from the holy Gospel according to
Matthew +
All – Glory to you, O Lord!

At that time the disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who

is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?” He called a child over,
placed it in their midst, and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you
turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of
heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in
the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as
this in my name receives me. Whoever causes one of these little
ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a
great millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the
depths of the sea that you do not despise one of these little ones,
for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the
face of my heavenly Father.”

The Gospel of the Lord!

All – Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ
