September 11, 2025, Thursday of the 23rd week in ordinary time.

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

Brothers and Sisters,

put on as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved,

heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another

and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another. As the Lord has forgiven you,

so must you also do. And over all these put on love, that is the bond of perfection.

And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one

body, and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom

you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your

hearts to God. And whatever you do in word or indeed,

do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,

giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

The Word of the Lord.

The Responsorial Psalm.

The response is,

Let everything that breathes praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord in his sanctuary.

Praise him in the firmament of his strength.

Praise him for his mighty deeds.

Praise him for his sovereign majesty.

Let everything that breathe, praise the Lord. Praise him with the sovereign majesty. Let everything that breathes, praise the Lord.
