First ReadingRevelation 12:10-12a

From the Book of Revelation

or Revelation 21:5-7

10I heard a loud voice in heaven,saying, “Now the salvation,the power, and the Kingdom of our God,and the authority of his Christ has come;for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down,who accuses them before our God day and night.11They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood,and because of the word of their testimony.They didn’t love their life, even to death.12Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them.Woe to the earth and to the sea,because the devil has gone down to you,having great wrath,knowing that he has but a short time.”

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 126:1bc-2ab, 2cd-3, 4-5, 6

1When the Lord brought back those who returned to Zion,we were like those who dream.2Then our mouth was filled with laughter,and our tongue with singing.

2Then they said among the nations,“The Lord has done great things for them.”3The Lord has done great things for us,and we are glad.

4Restore our fortunes again, Lord,like the streams in the Negev.5Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

6He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

Second ReadingRomans 5:1-5

From the Letter of Paul to the Romans

or 2 Timothy 2:8-13; 3:10-12

1Being therefore justified by faith,we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;2through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand.We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.3Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings,knowing that suffering produces perseverance;4and perseverance, proven character;and proven character, hope;5and hope doesn’t disappoint us,because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spiritwho was given to us.

GospelJohn 15:18-21

From the Gospel according to John

or John 15:1-8 or Luke 9:23-26

18If the world hates you,you know that it has hated me before it hated you.19If you were of the world, the world would love its own.But because you are not of the world,since I chose you out of the world,therefore the world hates you.20Remember the word that I said to you:‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.21But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake,because they don’t know him who sent me.
