First Reading - 2 Sm 5:1-3
In those days, all the tribes
of Israel came to David in Hebron and said: “Here we are,
your bone and your flesh. In
days past, when Saul was our
king, it was you who led the Israelites out and brought them
back. And the Lord said to you,
‘You shall shepherd my people
Israel and shall be commander
of Israel.’ ”
When all the elders of Israel came to David in Hebron,
King David made an agreement with them there before
the Lord, and they anointed
him king of Israel.

Second Reading - Col 1:12-20
Brothers and sisters:
Let us give thanks to the
Father, who has made you fi t
to share in the inheritance of
the holy ones in light. He delivered us from the power of
darkness and transferred us
to the kingdom of his beloved
Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all
creation. For in him were created all things in heaven and
on earth, the visible and the
invisible, whether thrones or
dominions or principalities or
powers; all things were created
through him and for him.
He is before all things, and
in him all things hold together.
He is the head of the body, the
Church.
He is the beginning, the
firstborn from the dead, that
in all things he himself might
be preeminent.
For in him all the fullness was pleased to dwell,
and through him to reconcile
all things for him, making
peace by the blood of his cross
through him, whether those on
earth or those in heaven.
Gospel Acclamation - Mk 11:9.10
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Blessed is he who comes in
the name of the Lord!
Blessed is the kingdom of
our father David that is to
come!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Gospel - Lk 23:35-43
The rulers sneered at Jesus
and said, “He saved others; let
him save himself if he is the
chosen one, the Christ of God!”
Even the soldiers jeered at him.
As they approached to off er
him wine they called out, “If
you are King of the Jews, save
yourself!” Above him there
was an inscription that read,
“THIS IS THE KING OF
THE JEWS.”
Now one of the criminals
hanging there reviled Jesus, saying, “Are you not the
Christ? Save yourself and us.”
The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply, “Have
you no fear of God, for you are
subject to the same condemnation? And indeed, we have been
condemned justly, for the sentence we received corresponds
to our crimes, but this man has
done nothing criminal.”
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come
into your kingdom.” He replied
to him, “Amen, I say to you,
today you will be with me in
Paradise.”
