","Mass_R1" : {"heading" : "‘You have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.’","source" : "1 John 2:18‐21","text" : "Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.
But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
"},"Mass_Ps" : {"source" : "Ps 96(95):1‐2. 11‐12a. 12b‐13b. 13cd. ℟11a","text" : "Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad.
O sing a new song to the Lord;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
O sing to the Lord; bless his name.
Proclaim his salvation day by day.
Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad.
Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad;
let the sea and all within it thunder praise.
Let the field and all it bears exult.
Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad.
Then will all the trees of the wood shout for joy
at the presence of the Lord, for he comes,
he comes to judge the earth.
Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad.
He will judge the world with justice,
and the peoples with faithfulness.
Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad.
"},"Mass_GA" : {"source" : "John 1:14a, 12a","text" : "Alleluia, alleluia.
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us;
to all who did receive him,
he gave the authority to become children of God.
Alleluia.
"},"Mass_G" : {"heading" : "‘The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.’","source" : "John 1:1‐18","text" : "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness about him, and cried out, ‘This was he of whom I said, “He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.” ’
For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.
