Readings from the Liturgy of the Hours
| Mid-morning reading (Terce) | 1 Timothy 2:4 - 6 |
|---|---|
| God our saviour wants everyone to be saved and reach full knowledge of the truth. For there is only one God, and there is only one mediator between God and mankind, himself a man, Christ Jesus, who sacrificed himself as a ransom for them all. He is the evidence of this, sent at the appointed time. | |

| Afternoon reading (None) | Hebrews 9:28 |
