 LITURGY OF THE WORD 

First Reading Sit
The day of justice is coming.
A reading from the Book of Malachi (3:19-20a)
Lo, the day is coming, blazing like an oven, when all the proud and
all evildoers will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set
them on fire, leaving them neither root nor branch, says the Lord of
hosts. But for you, who fear My name, there will arise the sun of
justice with its healing rays.
L: The Word of the Lord
P: Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm Sit

R: The Lord comes to rule the Earth with justice.
Sing praise to the Lord with the harp,
with the harp and melodious song.
With trumpets and the sound of the horn
sing joyfully before the King, the Lord. (R)

Let the sea and what fills it resound,

the world and those who dwell in it;
let the rivers clap their hands,
the mountains shout with them for joy. (R)

2
Before the Lord, for He comes,
for He comes to rule the Earth,
He will rule the world with justice
and the people with equity. (R)

Second Reading Sit

They present themselves as a model, so that you might imitate.
A reading from the Second Letter of St Paul to the Thessalonian
(3:7-12)
Brothers and sisters: You know how one must imitate us. For we
did not act in a disorderly way among you, nor did we eat food
received free from anyone. On the contrary, in toil and drudgery,
night and day we worked, so as not to burden any of you. Not that
we do not have the right. Rather, we wanted to present ourselves as
a model for you, so that you might imitate us. In fact, when we were
with you, we instructed you that if anyone was unwilling to work,
neither should that one eat. We hear that some are conducting
themselves among you in a disorderly way, by not keeping busy but
minding the business of others. Such people we instruct and urge in
the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and to eat their own food.
L: The Word of the Lord.
P: Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation Stand

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Stand erect and raise your heads
because your redemption is at hand. (R)

GOSPEL Stand
C: The Lord be with you.
P: And with your spirit.
C: A reading from the Holy Gospel according to St Luke (21:5-19)

Not a hair on your head will be destroyed.

While some people were speaking about how the temple was
adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said, "All that
you see here -- the days will come when there will not be left a
stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down."
Then they asked Him, "Teacher, when will this happen? And what
sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?" He
answered, "See that you not be deceived, for many will come in My
name, saying, 'I am He,' and 'The time has come.' Do not follow
them! When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified;
for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the
end." Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom. There will be powerful earthquakes,
famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and
mighty signs will come from the sky.
"Before all this happens, however, they will seize and persecute
you, they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and
they will have you led before kings and governors because of my
name. It will lead to your giving testimony. Remember, you are not
to prepare your defense beforehand, for I Myself shall give you a
wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to
resist or refute. You will even be handed over by parents, brothers,
relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death. You
will be hated by all because of My name, but not a hair on your
head will be destroyed. By your perseverance, you will secure your
lives."
C: The Gospel of the Lord.
P: Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ.
HOMILY Sit
APOSTLES’ CREED Stand
I believe in God, The Father almighty, Creator of heaven and Earth,

the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary. Suffered under Pontius
Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell;
on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into
heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
