_The gospel that was a mystery for a long time has now been revealed._

*A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans (16:25-27)*

Brethren, to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and 

the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that 

was kept secret for long ages but has now been disclosed and through the 

prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the 

command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith – to the 

only wise God be glory forever more through Jesus Christ! Amen.
