 September 14th : Second Reading

Christ humbled himself but God raised him high

A Reading from the Letter of St.Paul to the Philippians 2: 6-11

His state was divine, yet Christ Jesus did not cling

to his equality with God but emptied himself to assume the condition of a slave and became as men are; and being as all men are, he was humbler yet, even to accepting death,

death on a cross. But God raised him high and gave him the name which is above all other names so that all beings

in the heavens, on earth and in the underworld, should bend the knee at the name of Jesus and that every tongue should acclaim

Jesus Christ as Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The Word of the Lord.
