- Recalling the words of the Lord that he would be their shepherd and commander, they anoint David king of Israel.

- Jerusalem is the city for the people of Israel, where resides the judgment seat for the house of David.
2nd Reading – Colossians 1:12-20
- We give thanks to the Father, who gave us his beloved Son, the image of the invisible God and the firstborn of all creation.
- He is the head of the body, the church, and he reconciles all things through the blood of his Cross.
Gospel – Luke 23:35-43
- Christ is mocked from the Cross, where the sign above his head reads, “This is the King of the Jews.”
