September 4th : First Reading
God has reconciled you by Christ's death in his mortal body.
A Reading from the Letter of St.Paul to the Colossians 1: 21-23.
Not long ago, you were foreigners and enemies, in the way that you used to think and the evil things that you did; but now he has reconciled you, by his death and in that mortal body. Now you are able to appear before him holy, pure and blameless – as long as you persevere and stand firm on the solid base of the faith, never letting yourselves drift away from the hope promised by the Good News, which you have heard, which has been preached to the whole human race, and of which I, Paul, have become the servant.
The Word of the Lord.
