September 10, 2025, Wednesday of the 23rd week in ordinary time.

A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Colossians.

Brothers and sisters, if you were raised with Christ, seek what is above.

Where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

Think of what is above, not of what is on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden

with Christ and God. When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with Him in glory.

Put to death, then, the parts of you that are earthly, immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and the greed that is idolatry.

Because of these, the wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient. By these, you too once

conducted yourselves when you lived in that way, but now you must put them all away. Anger, fury, malice, slander, and obscene language

out of your mouths. Stop lying to one another. Since you have taken off the old self with its

practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed for knowledge in the image of its

creator.

Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free.

But Christ is all and in all.

The Word of the Lord.

The responseorial Psalm. The word of the Lord. The response sorial psalm. The response is,

The Lord is compassionate toward all his works.

Every day will I bless you, and I will praise your name forever and ever.

Great is the Lord and highly to be praised.

His greatness is unsearchable.

The Lord is compassionate toward all his works.

Let all your works give you thanks, O Lord, and let your faithful ones bless you.
