Reading 1, First John 2:22-28

²² Who is the liar, if not one who claims that Jesus is not the Christ? This is the Antichrist, who denies both the Father and the Son.

²³ Whoever denies the Son cannot have the Father either; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father too.

²⁴ Let what you heard in the beginning remain in you; as long as what you heard in the beginning remains in you, you will remain in the Son and in the Father.

²⁵ And the promise he made you himself is eternal life.

²⁶ So much have I written to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.

²⁷ But as for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you; since the anointing he gave you teaches you everything, and since it is true, not false, remain in him just as he has taught you.

²⁸ Therefore remain in him now, children, so that when he appears we may be fearless, and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 98:1, 2-3, 3-4

¹ [Psalm] Sing a new song to Yahweh, for he has performed wonders, his saving power is in his right hand and his holy arm.

² Yahweh has made known his saving power, revealed his saving justice for the nations to see,

³ mindful of his faithful love and his constancy to the House of Israel. The whole wide world has seen the saving power of our God.

⁴ Acclaim Yahweh, all the earth, burst into shouts of joy!
