<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">Canticle – Colossians 1:12-20<br />Christ the first-born of all creation and the first-born from the dead</span></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Let us give thanks to the Father<br />for having made you worthy<br />to share the lot of the saints<br />in light.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">He rescued us<br />from the power of darkness<br />and brought us<br />into the kingdom of his beloved Son.</div>
<p><a name='more'></a></p>
<div style="text-align:center;">Through him we have redemption,<br />the forgiveness of our sins.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">He is the image of the invisible God,<br />the first-born of all creatures.<br />In him everything in heaven and on earth was created,<br />things visible and invisible.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">All were created through him;<br />all were created for him.<br />He is before all else that is.<br />In him everything continues in being.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">It is he who is head of the body, the church!<br />he who is the beginning,<br />the first-born of the dead,<br />so that primacy may be his in everything.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">It pleased God to make absolute fullness reside in him<br />and, by means of him, to reconcile everything in his person,<br />both on earth and in the heavens,<br />making peace through the blood of his cross.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:<br /><span style="color:red;">—</span> as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. </div>

<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Work with anxious concern to achieve your salvation. It is God who, in his good will toward you, begets in you any measure of desire or achievement. In everything you do, act without grumbling or arguing; prove yourselves innocent and straightforward, children of God beyond reproach.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">Sacred Silence</span> (indicated by a bell) – a moment to reflect and receive in our hearts the full resonance of the voice of the Holy Spirit and to unite our personal prayer more closely with the word of God and public voice of the Church.</div>
