Reading 1, Colossians 1:15-20

¹⁵ He is the image of the unseen God, the first-born of all creation,

¹⁶ for in him were created all things in heaven and on earth: everything visible and everything invisible, thrones, ruling forces, sovereignties, powers -- all things were created through him and for him.

¹⁷ He exists before all things and in him all things hold together,

¹⁸ and he is the Head of the Body, that is, the Church. He is the Beginning, the first-born from the dead, so that he should be supreme in every way;

¹⁹ because God wanted all fullness to be found in him

²⁰ and through him to reconcile all things to him, everything in heaven and everything on earth, by making peace through his death on the cross.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 100:1, 2, 3, 4, 5

¹ [Psalm For thanksgiving] Acclaim Yahweh, all the earth,

² serve Yahweh with gladness, come into his presence with songs of joy!

³ Be sure that Yahweh is God, he made us, we belong to him, his people, the flock of his sheepfold.

⁴ Come within his gates giving thanks, to his courts singing praise, give thanks to him and bless his name!

⁵ For Yahweh is good, his faithful love is everlasting, his constancy from age to age.

Gospel, Luke 5:33-39

³³ They then said to him, 'John's disciples are always fasting and saying prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees, too, but yours go on eating and drinking.'

³⁴ Jesus replied, 'Surely you cannot make the bridegroom's attendants fast while the bridegroom is still with them?

³⁵ But the time will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them; then, in those days, they will fast.'

³⁶ He also told them a parable, 'No one tears a piece from a new cloak to put it on an old cloak; otherwise, not only will the new one be torn, but the piece taken from the new will not match the old.

³⁷ 'And nobody puts new wine in old wineskins; otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins and run to waste, and the skins will be ruined.

³⁸ No; new wine must be put in fresh skins.

³⁹ And nobody who has been drinking old wine wants new. "The old is good," he says.'
