Memorial of St. Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church.

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

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

to the Holy Ones and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ in Colisei.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father.

We always give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ when we pray for you,

for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love that you

have for all the holy ones, because of the hope reserved for you in heaven. Of this you have already

heard through the Word of Truth, the gospel, that has come to you. Just as in the whole world, it is bearing fruit and growing,

so also among you, from the day you heard it and came to know the grace of God in truth,

as you learned it from Epiphras, our beloved fellow slave, who was a trustworthy minister of Christ on your behalf, and who also

told us of your love in the spirit.

The Word of the Lord.

The response oral psalm.

The response is, I trust in the mercy of God forever.

I, like a green olive tree in the house of God, trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.

I trust in the mercy of God forever.

I will thank you always for what you have done, and proclaim the goodness of your name before

your faithful ones.

I trust in the mercy of God forever.

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
