Reading 1
John 2:18-21 You have been anointed by the Holy One
Children, these are the last days; you
were told that an Antichrist must come, and now several antichrists have
already appeared; we know from this that these are the last days. Those rivals
of Christ came out of our own number, but they had never really belonged; if
they had belonged, they would have stayed with us; but they left us, to prove
that not one of them ever belonged to us. But you have been anointed by the
Holy One, and have all received the knowledge. It is not because you do not
know the truth that I am writing to you but rather because you know it already and
know that no lie can come from the truth. Universalis
Gospel John
1:1-18 The Word was made flesh, and lived among us
In the beginning was the Word: and the
Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through
him all things came to be, not one thing had its being but through him. All
that came to be had life in him and that life was the light of men, a light
that shines in the dark, a light that darkness could not overpower. CDR
A man came, sent by God. His name was
John. He came as a witness, as a witness to speak for the light, so that
everyone might believe through him. He was not the light, only a witness to
speak for the light. The Word was the true light that enlightens all men; and
he was coming into the world. He was in the world that had its being through
him, and the world did not know him. He came to his own domain and his own
people did not accept him. But to all who did accept him he gave power to
become children of God, to all who believe in the name of him who was born not
out of human stock or urge of the flesh or will of man but of God himself.

The Word was made flesh, he lived among
us, and we saw his glory, the glory that is his as the only Son of the Father, full
of grace and truth. John appears as his witness. He proclaims: ‘This is the one
of whom I said: He who comes after me ranks before me because he existed before
me.’ Indeed, from his fullness we have, all of us, received – yes, grace
in return for grace, since, though the Law was given through Moses, grace and
truth have come through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; it is the only
Son, who is nearest to the Father’s heart, who has made him known.
Loving Father your Word is life. You are eternal. You are the ancient of days. We adore your majesty. Christ be our light, dispel our darkness. You are the Word made flesh, you live among us, you are Emmanuel, the glory of God, God's only begotten Son. Christ you existed before time, and eternity. Grace and truth come through Jesus Christ. Thank you Father our God for your Son Jesus Christ.
