- All people rejoice and give praise to God, the Most High and great king, who reigns over all the nations.
2nd Reading – Ephesians 1:17-23
- Christ, seated in glory at the right hand of the Father in heaven, reigns over all creation.
- As his disciples, we pray for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, that our hearts will be enlightened as we follow Christ.
Gospel – Matthew 28:16-20
- The Risen Lord greets the Eleven in Galilee; even though they have doubts, they worship Jesus.
