First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

2 Samuel 7:1-5, 8-12, 14, 16 Psalm 89:2-5, 27, 29 Luke 1:67-79 Now that we are reborn, as I have said, in the likeness of our Lord, and have indeed been adopted by God as his children, let us put on the complete image of our Creator so as to be wholly like him, not in the glory that he alone possesses, but in innocence, simplicity, gentleness, patience, humility, mercy, harmony, those qualities in which he chose to become, and to be, one with us. -- St Peter Chrysologus
