First Reading
A Reading from the Prophet Daniel:
As I watched: Thrones were set in place and one of great age took his seat.
His robe was white as snow, the hair of his head as pure as wool.
His throne was a blaze of flames, its wheels were a burning fire.
A stream of fire poured out, issuing from his presence.
A thousand thousand waited on him, ten thousand times ten thousand stood
before him. A court was held and the books were opened.
I gazed into the visions of the night. And I saw, coming on the clouds of
heaven, one like a son of man.
He came to the one of great age and was led into his presence.
On him was conferred sovereignty, glory and kingship,
and men of all peoples, nations and languages became his servants.
His sovereignty is an eternal sovereignty which shall never pass away,
nor will his empire ever be destroyed.
The Word of the Lord
Responsorial Psalm
Response: The Lord is king, most high above all the earth.
The Lord is king, let earth rejoice,
let all the coastlands be glad.
Cloud and darkness are his raiment;
his throne, justice and right.
The Lord is king, most high above all the earth.
The mountains melt like wax
before the Lord of all the earth.
The skies proclaim his justice;
all peoples see his glory.
The Lord is king, most high above all the earth.
For you indeed are the Lord
most high above all the earth,
exalted far above all spirits.
The Lord is king, most high above all the earth.
Second Reading:
A Reading from the Second Letter of Peter:
It was not any cleverly invented myths that we were repeating when we
brought you the knowledge of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ; we had seen his majesty for ourselves. He was honoured and glorified
by God the Father, when the Sublime Glory itself spoke to him and said,
‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour.’ We heard this ourselves,
spoken from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
So we have confirmation of what was said in prophecies; and you will be
right to depend on prophecy and take it as a lamp for lighting a way through
the dark until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds.
The Word of the Lord.
