First Reading
Wisdom 13:1-9
1For all men who were ignorant of God were foolish by nature; and they were unable from the good things that are seen to know him who exists, nor did they recognize the craftsman while paying heed to his works;
2but they supposed that either fire or wind or swift air, or the circle of the stars, or turbulent water, or the luminaries of heaven were the gods that rule the world.
3If through delight in the beauty of these things men assumed them to be gods, let them know how much better than these is their Lord, for the author of beauty created them.
4And if men were amazed at their power and working, let them perceive from them how much more powerful is he who formed them.
5For from the greatness and beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their Creator.
6Yet these men are little to be blamed, for perhaps they go astray while seeking God and desiring to find him.
7For as they live among his works they keep searching, and they trust in what they see, because the things that are seen are beautiful.
8Yet again, not even they are to be excused;
9for if they had the power to know so much that they could investigate the world, how did they fail to find sooner the Lord of these things?
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 19:2-5
1The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
2Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge.
3There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard;
4yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
Gospel
Luke 17:26-37
26As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of man.
27They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28Likewise as it was in the days of Lot—they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built,
29but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom fire and brimstone rained from heaven and destroyed them all—
30so will it be on the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31On that day, let him who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away; and likewise let him who is in the field not turn back.
32Remember Lot’s wife.
33Whoever seeks to gain his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
34I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.
35There will be two women grinding together; one will be taken and the other left.”
37And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”
