Readings
Daniel 7.1-3,15-18

1 In the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had a dream
and visions of his head as he lay in bed. Then he wrote down the
dream:
2 I, Daniel, saw in my vision by night the four winds of heaven
stirring up the great sea,
3 and four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one
another.
15 As for me, Daniel, my spirit was troubled within me, and the
visions of my head terrified me.
16 I approached one of the attendants to ask him the truth
concerning all this. So he said that he would disclose to me the
interpretation of the matter:
17 As for these four great beasts, four kings shall arise out of the
earth.
18 But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and
possess the kingdom for everfor ever and ever.
Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God

PSALM 149

1 O praise the Lord
and sing to the Lord a | new | song:
O praise him in the as|sembly | of the | faithful.
2 Let Israel rejoice in | him that | made him:
let the children of Zion be | joyful | in their | king.
3 Let them praise him | in the | dance:
let them sing his praise with | timbrel | and with | harp.
4 For the Lord takes de|light . in his | people:
he adorns the | meek with | his sal|vation.
5 Let his faithful ones ex|ult . in his | glory:
let them sing for | joy up|on their | beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be | in their | mouths:
and a | two-edged | sword . in their | hands,
7 To execute vengeance | on the | nations:
and | chastisement . up|on the | peoples,
8 To bind their | kings in | chains:
and their | nobles . with | fetters . of | iron,
9+ To visit upon them the judgement that | is dec|reed:
such honour belongs to all his faithful servants |
Praise | – the | Lord.

Ephesians 1.11-23

11 In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been
destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things
according to his counsel and will,
12 so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live
for the praise of his glory.
13 In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel
of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the
seal of the promised Holy Spirit;
14 this is the pledge of our inheritance towards redemption as Gods
own people, to the praise of his glory.
15 I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love towards
all the saints, and for this reason
16 I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my
prayers.
17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know
him,
18 so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know
what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of
his glorious inheritance among the saints,
19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who
believe, according to the working of his great power.
20 God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the
dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,
21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and
above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the
age to come.
22 And he has put all things under his feet and has made him the
head over all things for the church,
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

Luke 6:20-31

20 Then he looked up at his disciples and said:
Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are you who are hungry now,
for you will be filled.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
22 Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you
, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man.
23 Rejoice on that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is
great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets.
24 But woe to you who are rich,
for you have received your consolation.
25 Woe to you who are full now,
for you will be hungry.
Woe to you who are laughing now,
for you will mourn and weep.
26 Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their
ancestors did to the false prophets.
27 But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those
who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.
29 If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from
anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt.
30 Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away
your goods, do not ask for them again.
31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
