Reading 1, First Peter 1:3-9

³ Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead

⁴ and into a heritage that can never be spoilt or soiled and never fade away. It is reserved in heaven for you

⁵ who are being kept safe by God's power through faith until the salvation which has been prepared is revealed at the final point of time.

⁶ This is a great joy to you, even though for a short time yet you must bear all sorts of trials;

⁷ so that the worth of your faith, more valuable than gold, which is perishable even if it has been tested by fire, may be proved -- to your praise and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed.

⁸ You have not seen him, yet you love him; and still without seeing him you believe in him and so are already filled with a joy so glorious that it cannot be described;

⁹ and you are sure of the goal of your faith, that is, the salvation of your souls.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 111:1-2, 5-6, 9, 10

¹ Alleluia! I give thanks to Yahweh with all my heart, in the meeting-place of honest people, in the assembly.

² Great are the deeds of Yahweh, to be pondered by all who delight in them.

⁵ He gives food to those who fear him, he keeps his covenant ever in mind.

⁶ His works show his people his power in giving them the birthright of the nations.

⁹ Deliverance he sends to his people, his covenant he imposes for ever; holy and awesome his name.

¹⁰ The root of wisdom is fear of Yahweh; those who attain it are wise. His praise will continue for ever.
