According to day of the 1st Week with Christmas-tide antiphons

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made all creatures.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse. Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have to all the saints, for the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof you heard before in the word of the truth of the Gospel, which is come unto you the same as it has in all the world; and brings forth fruit, as it does also in you, since the day you heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth. As you also learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ, who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. That you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, fortified with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness. Giving thanks to the Father, who has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness, and gave us entrance into the kingdom of his dear Son, in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.
