A
READING FROM THE BOOK OF GENESIS
In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the
earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the
deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.
Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was
light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the
light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the
darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was
morning, the first day. And God said, "Let there be a dome in
the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the
waters." So God made the dome and separated the waters that
were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And
it was so. God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and
there was morning, the second day. And God said, "Let the
waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let
the dry land appear." And it was so. God called the dry land
Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas.
And God saw that it was good. Then God said, "Let the earth
put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees of
every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it." And
it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding
seed of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the
seed in it. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening
and there was morning, the third day. And God said, "Let
there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from
the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days
and years, and let them be lights in the dome of the sky to give
light upon the earth." And it was so. God made the two great
lights - the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to
rule the night - and the stars. God set them in the dome of the
sky to give light upon the earth, to rule over the day and over
the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God
saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning,
the fourth day. And God said, "Let the waters bring forth
swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth
across the dome of the sky." So God created the great sea
monsters and every living creature that moves, of every kind, with
which the waters swarm, and every winged bird of every kind. And
God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, "Be
fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let
birds multiply on the earth." And there was evening and there
was morning, the fifth day. And God said, "Let the earth
bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping
things and wild animals of the earth of every kind." And it
was so. God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind, and
the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the
ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good. Then God said,
"Let us make humankind in our image, according to our
likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and
over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the
wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that
creeps upon the earth." So God created humankind in his
image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he
created them. God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be
fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have
dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air
and over every living thing that moves upon the earth." God
said, "See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that
is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its
fruit; you shall have them for food. And to every beast of the
earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps
on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given
every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw
everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And
there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Thus the
heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude. And
on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he
rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. So
God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God
rested from all the work that he had done in creation. These are
the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were
created.

PSALM
Refrain O Lord our governor, how exalted is your name in all the
world!
O
Lord our governor, how exalted is your name in all the world!
Out
of the mouths of infants and children your majesty is praised
above the heavens. R
You
have set up a stronghold against your adversaries, to quell the
enemy and the avenger.
When
I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and
the stars you have set in their courses, R
What
is man that you should be mindful of him? the son of man that you
should seek him out?
You
have made him but little lower than the angels; you adorn him with
glory and honour; R
You
give him mastery over the works of your hands; you put all things
under his feet;
All
sheep and oxen, even the wild beasts of the field, R
The
birds of the air, the fish of the sea, and whatsoever walks in the
paths of the sea.
O
Lord our governor, how exalted is your name in all the world! R

Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order,

THE
HOLY GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
ACCORDING TO MATTHEW
Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which
Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshipped him;
but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, "All
authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go
therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and
teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And
remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
