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, 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. And he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><i>Reader:<\/i> The Word of the Lord.<br \/>\n<i>People: <\/i>Thanks be to God.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Gospel Hymn: <\/b><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tFIy-iUZKhU?si=XELjqdJY5HWMXG3M\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Leader:<\/i> The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke<br \/>\n<i>People: <\/i>Glory to you, Lord Christ.<\/p>\n<p><b>Holy Gospel<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"lessonCitation\">Luke 6:20-31<\/h3>\n<p class=\"lessonText\"><span class=\"initCap\">J<\/span>esus looked up at his disciples and said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"poetryText\">\u201cBlessed are you who are poor,<br \/>\nfor yours is the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n<p class=\"poetryText\">\u201cBlessed are you who are hungry now,<br \/>\nfor you will be filled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"poetryText\">\u201cBlessed are you who weep now,<br \/>\nfor you will laugh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"poetryText\">\u201cBlessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
