16. The First
Reading

17. A reading from the prophet
Daniel
‘At that time Michael will
stand up, the great prince

18. who mounts guard over your
people. There is going to be a
time of great distress,
unparalleled since nations
first came into existence.

19. When that time comes, your
own people will be spared, all
those whose names are
found written in the Book. Of
those who lie sleeping in the

20. dust of the earth many will
awake, some to everlasting
life, some to shame and
everlasting disgrace. The
learned will shine as brightly

21. as the vault of heaven, and
those who have instructed
many in virtue, as bright as
stars for all eternity.’

22. The Word
of the Lord
Thanks be to God.

23. Preserve me, God,
I take refuge in
you.
The Psalm

24. O Lord, it is you who are my
portion and cup; it is you
yourself who are my prize. I keep
the Lord ever in my sight: since
he is at my right hand, I shall
stand firm.
The Psalm

25. Preserve me, God,
I take refuge in
you.

is glad; even my body shall rest

your beloved know decay.

I take refuge in
you.

presence, at your right hand

I take refuge in
you.

30. The Second
Reading

31. A reading from the letter to
the Hebrews
All the priests stand at their
duties every day, offering

32. over and over again the
same sacrifices which are
quite incapable of taking sins
away. He, on the other hand,
has offered one single

33. sacrifice for sins, and then
taken his place forever, at
the right hand of God, where
he is now waiting until his
enemies are made into a

34. footstool for him. By virtue of
that one single offering, he
has achieved the eternal
perfection of all whom he is
sanctifying.

35. When all sins have been
forgiven, there can be no
more sin offerings.

36. The Word
of the Lord
Thanks be to God.

37. Alleluia, alleluia!
Stay awake and stand ready,
because you do not know the
hour when the Son of Man is
coming.
Alleluia! Gospel Acclamation

38. The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A Reading from the holy Gospel
according to Mark.
Glory to you, O Lord.
The Gospel

39. Jesus said, ‘In those days,
after the time of distress, the
sun will be darkened, the
moon will lose its brightness,
the stars will come falling

40. from heaven and the powers
in the heavens will be
shaken. And then they will
see the Son of Man coming
in the clouds with great

41. power and glory; then too he
will send the angels to gather
his chosen from the four
winds, from the ends of the
world to the ends of heaven.

42. ‘Take the fig tree as a
parable: as soon as its twigs
grow supple and its leaves
come out, you know that
summer is near. So with you

43. when you see these things
happening: know that he is
near, at the very gates. I tell
you solemnly, before this
generation has passed away

44. all these things will have
taken place. Heaven and
earth will pass away, but my
words will not pass away.
‘But as for that day or hour,

45. nobody knows it, neither the
angels of heaven, nor the
Son; no one but the Father.’

46. The Gospel of the Lord
Praise to you, Lord
Jesus Christ.

almighty,
