First Reading
Malachi 3:19-20
19 'For look, the Day is
coming, glowing like a furnace. All the proud and all the evil-doers will be
the stubble, and the Day, when it comes, will set them ablaze, says Yahweh
Sabaoth, leaving them neither root nor branch.
20 But for you who fear
my name, the Sun of justice will rise with healing in his rays, and you will
come out leaping like calves from the stall,
“The
Word of the Lord”
PSALM 98:5-6, 7-8, 9
5 Play to Yahweh on the
harp, to the sound of instruments;
6 to the sound of
trumpet and horn, acclaim the presence of the King.
7 Let the sea thunder,
and all that it holds, the world and all who live in it.
8 Let the rivers clap
their hands, and the mountains shout for joy together,
9 at Yahweh's approach,
for he is coming to judge the earth; he will judge the world with saving
justice and the nations with fairness.
Second Reading
Second Thessalonians
3:7-12
7 You know how you
should take us as your model: we were not undisciplined when we were with you,
8 nor did we ever accept
food from anyone without paying for it; no, we worked with unsparing energy,
night and day, so as not to be a burden on any of you.
9 This was not because
we had no right to be, but in order to make ourselves a model for you to
imitate.
10 We urged you when we
were with you not to let anyone eat who refused to work.
11 Now we hear that
there are some of you who are living lives without any discipline, doing no
work themselves but interfering with other people's.
12 In the Lord Jesus
Christ, we urge and call on people of this kind to go on quietly working and
earning the food that they eat.

Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
Luke 21:5-19
5 When some were
talking about the Temple, remarking how it was adorned with fine stonework and
votive offerings, he said,
6 'All these things you
are staring at now -- the time will come when not a single stone will be left
on another; everything will be destroyed.'
7 And they put to him
this question, 'Master,' they said, 'when will this happen, then, and what sign
will there be that it is about to take place?'
8 But he said, 'Take
care not to be deceived, because many will come using my name and saying,
"I am the one" and "The time is near at hand." Refuse to
join them.
9 And when you hear of
wars and revolutions, do not be terrified, for this is something that must
happen first, but the end will not come at once.'
10 Then he said to them,
'Nation will fight against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 There will be great
earthquakes and plagues and famines in various places; there will be terrifying
events and great signs from heaven.
12 'But before all this
happens, you will be seized and persecuted; you will be handed over to the
synagogues and to imprisonment, and brought before kings and governors for the
sake of my name
13 -and that will be
your opportunity to bear witness.
14 Make up your minds
not to prepare your defence,
15 because I myself
shall give you an eloquence and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be
able to resist or contradict.
16 You will be betrayed
even by parents and brothers, relations and friends; and some of you will be
put to death.
17 You will be hated
universally on account of my name,
18 but not a hair of
your head will be lost.
19 Your perseverance
will win you your lives.
“The
Gospel of the Lord”
