Introduction to the First Reading: In the preceding verse, Isaiah has recalled “the former time” when the northern territories, Zebulun and Naphtali, were conquered by the Assyrians. But, he writes, “in the latter time” God will return these lands to Israel: he will honour Galile.
A Reading From the Book of the Prophet Isaiah 9:2-7
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness-on them light has shined. You have multiplied the nation; you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as people exult when dividing plunder. For the yoke of their burden and the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian. For all the boots of the tramping warriors and all the garments rolled in blood shall be burned as fuel for the fire. For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders, and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Great will be his authority, and there shall be endless peace for the throne of David and his kingdom. He will establish and uphold it with justice and wit righteousness from this time onward and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.

Introduction à la deuxième lecture:
L'auteur vient de rappeler aux membres de la communauté chrétienne d'être de bons citoyens, d'être prêts à accomplir de bonnes œuvres, de ne médire de personne, d'être doux et de faire preuve de courtoisie envers tous. Il nous explique maintenant pourquoi les chrétiens doivent se comporter ainsi.
Lecture de la lettre à Tite:3:4-7
Mais lorsque Dieu, notre Sauveur, a manifesté sa bonté et son amour pour les hommes, il nous a sauvés, non pas à cause de la justice de nos propres actes, mais par sa miséricorde. Par le bain du baptême, il nous a fait renaître et nous a renouvelés dans l’Esprit Saint. Cet Esprit, Dieu l’a répandu sur nous en abondance, par Jésus Christ notre Sauveur, afin que, rendus justes par sa grâce, nous devenions en espérance héritiers de la vie éternelle.
Parole du Seigneur.
Nous rendons grâce à Dieu.
