Good morning brothers and sisters in Christ.

We are now in the 33rd Sunday of the ordinary time.

The first reading is from the book of Prophet Malachi. He said: When all the proud and evildoers....the day that is coming will set them on fire."

And the gospel is from the gospel according to St. Luke. He, Jesus warns us saying: See that you not be deceived for many will come in my name, saying "I am He .Do not follow them."

Please all stand to begin the Holy Eucharist.

FIRST READING

The sun of justice will shine on you.

A reading from the Book of the Prophet Malachi

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.

The word of the Lord.

SECOND READING

If anyone is unwilling to work, neither should that one eat.

A reading from the second Letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians

Thess.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 so that you might imitate us. you, 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.

The word of the Lord.

Lk 21:28

R. Alleluia, alleluia. 

Stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

By your perseverance you will secure your lives.

GOSPEL

Lk.21:5-19

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke 

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 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."

The Gospel of the Lord.
