Psalms 90: 3-6, 12-14, 17

3 And, lest man be turned aside in humiliation, you have said: Be converted, O sons of men.

4 For a thousand years before your eyes are like the days of yesterday, which have passed by, and they are like a watch of the night,

5 which was held for nothing: so their years shall be.

6 In the morning, he may pass away like grass; in the morning, he may flower and pass away. In the evening, he will fall, and harden, and become dry.

12 be numbered? So make known your right hand, along with men learned in heart, in wisdom.

13 Return, O Lord, how long? And may you be persuaded on behalf of your servants.

14 We were filled in the morning with your mercy, and we exulted and delighted all our days.

17 And may the splendor of the Lord our God be upon us. And so, direct the works of our hands over us; direct even the work of our hands.

Second Reading: Colossians 3: 1-5, 9-11

1 Therefore, if you have risen together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

2 Consider the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth.

3 For you have died, and so your life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

5 Therefore, mortify your body, while it is upon the earth. For because of fornication, impurity, lust, evil desires, and avarice, which are a kind of service to idols,

9 Do not lie to one another. Strip yourselves of the old man, with his deeds,

10 and clothe yourself with the new man, who has been renewed by knowledge, in accord with the image of the One who created him,

11 where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian nor Scythian, servant nor free. Instead, Christ is everything, in everyone.
