Greeting/The Father’s Plan of Salvation/Fulfillment through Christ
A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians.
Ephesians 1:1-14
Father, give your blessing.
Brothers and Sisters:
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the holy ones who are in Ephesus faithful in
Christ Jesus: grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as he
chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him. In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of his will, for the praise of the
glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved. In him we have redemption by his blood, the forgiveness of
transgressions, in accord with the riches of his grace that he lavished upon us. In all wisdom and insight, he has
made known to us the mystery of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth. In him we were also chosen, destined in
accord with the purpose of the one who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will, so that we
might exist for the praise of his glory, we who first hoped in Christ. In him you also, who have heard the word
of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed with the promised holy Spirit,
which is the first installment of our inheritance toward redemption as God’s possession, to the praise of his
glory.
Praise be to God Always!

Mary visits Elizabeth
Luke 1:39-45
The Evangelist said:
During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she
entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped
in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you
among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my
Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my
womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled."
This is the truth. Peace be with you!
