Here is the entire text of the second reading from Colossians 1: Christ Jesus 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. How did Paul know all this? It had to be the heavenly Father who revealed it all to him. When you are in union with the Lord, he imparts knowledge to you as he wills. It is a most wonderful blessing (see Matthew 16:17).
