Daniel 2:31-45
31“You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening.
32The head of this image was of fine gold, its breast and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,
33its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.
34As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it smote the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces;
35then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
36“This was the dream; now we will tell the king its interpretation.
37You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory,
38and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the sons of men, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the air, making you rule over them all—you are the head of gold.
39After you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.
40And there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things; and like iron which crushes, it shall break and crush all these.
41And as you saw the feet and toes partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the miry clay.
42And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle.
43As you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.
44And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand for ever;
45just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”
Responsorial Psalm

61Bless the Lord, all waters above the heaven, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever.
62Bless the Lord, all powers, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever.
Gospel
Luke 21:5-11
5And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said,
6“As for these things which you see, the days will come when there shall not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”
7And they asked him, “Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign when this is about to take place?”
8And he said, “Take heed that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them.
9And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified; for this must first take place, but the end will not be at once.”
10Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
11there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

Sirach 45:1-5
1From his descendants the Lord brought forth a man of mercy, who found favor in the sight of all flesh and was beloved by God and man, Moses, whose memory is blessed.
2He made him equal in glory to the holy ones, and made him great in the fears of his enemies.
3By his words he caused signs to cease; the Lord glorified him in the presence of kings. He gave him commands for his people, and showed him part of his glory.
4He sanctified him through faithfulness and meekness; he chose him out of all mankind.
5He made him hear his voice, and led him into the thick darkness, and gave him the commandments face to face, the law of life and knowledge, to teach Jacob the covenant, and Israel his judgments.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 16:1-2, 5-8, 11
1Preserve me, O God, for in thee I take refuge.
2I say to the LORD, “Thou art my Lord; I have no good apart from thee.”
5The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; thou holdest my lot.
6The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.
8I keep the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
11Thou dost show me the path of life; in thy presence there is fulness of joy, in thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Gospel
Luke 10:1-9
1After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.
2And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
3Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.
4Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and salute no one on the road.
5Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’
6And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you.
7And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house.
8Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you;
9heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
