Wisdom 7:22--8:1
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 119:89-91, 130, 135, 175
89For ever, O LORD, thy word is firmly fixed in the heavens.
90Thy faithfulness endures to all generations; thou hast established the earth, and it stands fast.
91By thy appointment they stand this day; for all things are thy servants.
130The unfolding of thy words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.
135Make thy face shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes.
175Let me live, that I may praise thee, and let thy ordinances help me.
Gospel
Luke 17:20-25
20Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed;
21nor will they say, ‘Lo, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”
22And he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you will not see it.
23And they will say to you, ‘Lo, there!’ or ‘Lo, here!’ Do not go, do not follow them.
24For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of man be in his day.
25But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

Isaiah 61:1-3
1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good tidings to the afflicted; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
3to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 89:2-5, 21-22, 25, 27
1I will sing of thy steadfast love, O LORD, for ever; with my mouth I will proclaim thy faithfulness to all generations.
2For thy steadfast love was established for ever, thy faithfulness is firm as the heavens.
3Thou hast said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant:
4‘I will establish your descendants for ever, and build your throne for all generations.’ ” Selah
20I have found David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him;
21so that my hand shall ever abide with him, my arm also shall strengthen him.
24My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
26He shall cry to me, ‘Thou art my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’
Gospel
Matthew 25:31-40
31“When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.
32Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,
33and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.
34Then the King will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
35for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
36I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’
37Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink?
38And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee?
39And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?’
40And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’
