Today’s Readings
First Reading — Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem! The L shines upon you and the glory of the Lord appears over you (Isaiah 60:1-6). Second Reading — The mystery has been made known that the Gentiles are coheirs, copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel (Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6). Gospel — Magi from the east arrived, saying, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews?” (Matthew 2:1-12).
