First Reading
Revelation 21:9b-14
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
21:9And there came one of the seven angels, who had the vials full of the seven last plagues, and spoke with me, saying: Come, and I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
10And he took me up in spirit to a great and high mountain: and he showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,
11Having the glory of God, and the light thereof was like to a precious stone, as to the jasper stone, even as crystal.
12And it had a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and in the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
13On the east, three gates: and on the north, three gates: and on the south, three gates: and on the west, three gates.
14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them, the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
