_You are all blessed by the Holy One._

*A Reading from the book of First John 2:18-21*

Children, this is the final hour; you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and now many Antichrists have already come; from this we know that it is the final hour.

They have gone from among us, but they never really belonged to us; if they had belonged to us, they would have stayed with us. But this was to prove that not one of them belonged to us.

But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and have all received knowledge.

I have written to you not because you are ignorant of the truth, but because you are well aware of it, and because no lie can come from the truth. 

*The Word of the Lord*
