Liturgical Season: 
II The Season of Yaldo-Denho

2 Cor 13:5-10

5* Examine yourselves to see whether you are living in faith. Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless, of course, you fail the test. 6I hope you will discover that we have not failed. 7But we pray to God that you may not do evil, not that we may appear to have passed the test but that you may do what is right, even though we may seem to have failed. 8For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. 9For we rejoice when we are weak but you are strong. What we pray for is your improvement.

10* b I am writing this while I am away, so that when I come I may not have to be severe in virtue of the authority that the Lord has given me to build up and not to tear down.

Jn 12:20-26

The Coming of Jesus’ Hour.* 20Now there were some Greeks* among those who had come up to worship at the feast.n 21* They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.”o 22Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.p 23* Jesus answered them,q “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24* Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat;r but if it dies, it produces much fruit. 25Whoever loves his life* loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.s 26Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me.t
