First ReadingRevelation 18:1-2, 21-23; 19:1-3, 9a*

From the Book of Revelation

1After these things,I saw another angel coming down out of the sky,having great authority.The earth was illuminated with his glory.2He cried with a mighty voice,saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great,and she has become a habitation of demons,a prison of every unclean spirit,and a prison of every unclean and hated bird!

verses 3–20 are not read21A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstoneand cast it into the sea,saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon,the great city, be thrown down,and will be found no more at all.22The voice of harpists,minstrels, flute players,and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you.No craftsman of whatever craft will be found any more at all in you.The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.23The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you.The voice of the bridegroomand of the bride will be heard no more at all in you,for your merchants were the princes of the earth;for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.

some verses are not read1After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven,saying, “Hallelujah!Salvation, power, and glory belong to our God;2for his judgments are true and righteous.For he has judged the great prostitutewho corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality,and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.”

3A second said, “Hallelujah!Her smoke goes up forever and ever.”

verses 4–8 are not read9He said to me, “Write,‘Blessed are thosewho are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb.’”He said to me, “These are true words of God.”

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 100:1-2, 3, 4, 5*

1Shout for joy to the Lord, all you lands!2Serve the Lord with gladness.Come before his presence with singing.

3Know that the Lord, he is God.It is he who has made us, and we are his.We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,and into his courts with praise.Give thanks to him, and bless his name.

5For the Lord is good.His loving kindness endures forever,his faithfulness to all generations.

GospelLuke 21:20-28

From the Gospel according to Luke

20“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies,then know that its desolation is at hand.21Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.Let those who are in the middle of her depart.Let those who are in the country not enter therein.22For these are days of vengeance,that all things which are written may be fulfilled.23Woe to those who are pregnant and to thosewho nurse infants in those days!For there will be great distress in the landand wrath to this people.24They will fall by the edge of the sword,and will be led captive into all the nations.Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

25“There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars;and on the earth anxiety of nations,in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;26men fainting for fear and for expectation of the thingswhich are coming on the world,for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.27Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.28But when these things begin to happen,look up and lift up your heads,because your redemption is near.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 51:1-8; 51:12

Confitébor tibi, Dómine, Rex, et collaudábo te Deum, Salvatórem meum. Confitébor nómini tuo: quóniam adjútor et protéctor factus es mihi, et liberásti corpus meum a perditióne, a láqueo línguæ iníquæ et a lábiis operántium mendácium, et in conspéctu astántium factus es mihi adjutor. Et liberasti me secúndum multitúdinem misericórdiæ nóminis tui a rugiéntibus, præparátis ad escam, de mánibus quæréntium ánimam meam, et de portis tribulatiónum, quæ circumdedérunt me: a pressúra flammæ, quæ circúmdedit me, et in médio ignis non sum æstuáta: de altitúdine ventris ínferi, et a lingua coinquináta, et a verbo mendácii, a rege iníquo, et a lingua injústa: laudábit usque ad mortem ánima mea Dóminum: quóniam éruis sustinéntes te, et líberas eos de mánibus géntium, Dómine, Deus noster.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Sir 51:1-8; 51:12

I will give You thanks, O Lord, O King; I will praise You, O God my Saviour! I will make known Your name; for You have preserved my body from destruction, from the scourge of a slanderous tongue, and from lips that went over to falsehood; and in the sight of those who stood by, You have been my helper. And You have delivered me, according to the multitude of the mercy of Your name, from those who did roar, prepared to devour; from the power of those who sought my life, and from the gates of afflictions which compassed me about; from the oppression of the flames which hemmed me in on every side, and in the midst of the fire I was not burnt; from the deep belly of the nether world, and from an unclean tongue, and from lying words, from an unjust king, and from dishonest tongues. My soul shall praise the Lord even to death; because You, O Lord, our God, save those who take refuge in You, and rescue them out of the hands of the nations.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 25:1-13

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Símile erit regnum coelórum decem virgínibus: quæ, accipiéntes lámpades suas, exiérunt óbviam sponso et sponsæ. Quinque autem ex eis erant fátuæ, et quinque prudéntes: ¶ sed quinque fátuæ, accéptis lampádibus, non sumpsérunt óleum secum: prudéntes vero accepérunt óleum in vasis suis cum lampádibus. Moram autem faciénte sponso, dormitavérunt omnes et dormiérunt. Média autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce, sponsus venit, exíte óbviam ei. Tunc surrexérunt omnes vírgines íllæ, et ornavérunt lámpades suas. Fátuæ autem sapiéntibus dixérunt: Date nobis de óleo vestro: quia lámpades nostræ exstinguúntur. Respondérunt prudéntes, dicéntes: Ne forte non suffíciat nobis et vobis, ite pótius ad vendéntes, et émite vobis. Dum autem irent émere, venit sponsus: et quæ parátæ erant, intravérunt cum eo ad núptias, et clausa est jánua. Novíssime vero véniunt et réliquæ vírgines, dicéntes: Dómine, Dómine, áperi nobis. At ille respóndens, ait: Amen, dico vobis, néscio vos. Vigiláte ítaque, quia nescítis diem neque horam.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 25:1-13.

At that time Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: “Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride. Five of them were foolish and five wise. But the five foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, while the wise did take oil in their vessels with the lamps. Then as the bridegroom was long in coming, they all became drowsy and slept. And at midnight a cry arose, 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming, go forth to meet him!' Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' The wise answered, saying, 'Lest there may not be enough for us and for you, go rather to those who sell it, and buy some for yourselves.' Now while they were gone to buy it, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Finally there came also the other virgins, who said, 'Sir, sir, open the door for us!' But he answered and said, 'Amen I say to you, I do not know you.' Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant.

Common

It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
