Sun Jan 4 The Book Blog Four readings with recordings Comments welcome here! Readers are most welcome to post comments and reflections on these readings c.f. Readings for Feast of Epiphany Isaiah 60: Arise, shine out, for your light has come. The glory of the Lord is rising on you, though the rest of the world is still in darkness. The nations come to your light and kings to your dawning brightness. People from other lands are coming to you, bringing gold and incense and singing the praise of the Lord. No more will the sun give you daylight, nor moonlight shine on you, for the Lord himself will be your everlasting light. Then your days of mourning will be ended. Lord Jesus, you are the light of the world. Please give more light to my life. Recording of this reading v2catholic/RRP/Recordings/OT-1Macs-Malachi/Isaiah60.MP3 Psalm 72: O Lord, please bless the king, that he might serve your people with justice. May the mountains bring forth peace for the people, and the hills, justice. The kings of Sheba and Seba bring him gifts. All nations will serve him. He will save the poor when they cry for help, and the needy who are helpless. He will have pity on the weak and save the lives of the poor. May every tribe be blessed in him. May every nation bless his name. May all the nations know and love you, Lord Recording v2catholic/RRP/Recordings/OT-1Macs-Malachi/Psalms072.MP3 Ephesians 3.2-6: You have probably heard how I have been entrusted by God with the grace he meant for you, and that it was by a revelation that I was given the knowledge of the mystery. This mystery that has now been revealed through the Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets was unknown to any men in past generations. It means that pagans now share the same inheritance, that they are parts of the same body, and that the same promise has been made to them, in Jesus Christ, through the gospel. Recording v2catholic/RRP/Recordings/NT-Acts-Rev/Ephesians3.2-6.MP3 Matthew 2.1-12 Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem, during the reign of King Herod. Some months after Jesus birth, several wise men from the East came to Jerusalem. They said Where is the infant king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose and we have come to offer him honor. King Herod felt threatened by this news. He knew from the Scriptures that the promised Saviour would be born in Bethlehem. So Herod sent the wise men to Bethlehem, pretending that he too would like to offer honor to the child. The wise men headed for Bethlehem, guided by the star. The star filled them with joy. The star stopped over the place where the child was. The wise men fell to their knees and honored the child. They offered him gifts of gold, incense and myrrh. Then they returned to their own country by a different way, having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod. Jesus, help me to honor you like the wise men Recording v2catholic/RRP/Recordings/NT-Gospels/Mt02.01.MP3 YouTube: We Three Kings (1,044,450 views) youtube/watch?v=VJxBlJFjOU4
