| 0:00.0 | A reading from the first letter of St. John. |
| 0:10.0 | Beloved, we receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and we do what pleases him. |
| 0:19.0 | And his commandment is this, that we should believe |
| 0:22.9 | in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another just as He commanded us. Those who keep |
