THIS SUNDAY MORNING

First reading: Exodus 2.1-10 2 2Now a man from the house of Levi went and married a Levite woman. T​ he ​ woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was a fine baby, 3 she hid him for three months. W​ hen she could hide him no longer she got a ​ papyrus basket for him, and plastered it with bitumen and pitch; she put the 4 child in it and placed it among the reeds on the bank of the river. H​ is sister ​ stood at a distance, to see what would happen to him.

5 The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her attendants walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and 6 sent her maid to bring it. W​ hen she opened it, she saw the child. He was crying, ​ and she took pity on him. ‘This must be one of the Hebrews’ children,’ she said. 7 T​ hen his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, ‘Shall I go & get you a nurse from the 8 Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?’ P​ haraoh’s daughter said to her, ​ 9 ‘Yes.’ So the girl went and called the child’s mother. P​ haraoh’s daughter said to ​ her, ‘Take this child & nurse it for me, & I will give you your wages.’ So the woman took the child & nursed it. 10 W​ hen the child grew up, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, & she took him as her son. She named him Moses, ‘because I drew him out of the water.’

Words of the psalm at the Eucharist: Psalm 34.11-20 Come, my children, and listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Who is there who delights in life And longs for days to enjoy good things? Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from lying words. Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous And his ears are open to their cry. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, To root out the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry and the Lord hears them And delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted And will save those who are crushed in spirit. Many are the troubles of the righteous; From them all will the Lord deliver them. He keeps all their bones, so that not one of them is broken.

Second reading: Colossians 3.12-17 As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, 13 kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. B​ ear with one another and, if ​ anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 A​ bove all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 A​ nd let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. 16 L​ et the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God. 17 A​ nd whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Gospel: John 19.25-27 25 A​ nd that is what the soldiers did. Meanwhile, standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 W​ hen Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, ‘Woman, here is your son.’ 27 T​ hen he said to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.
