1st Reading: Is 63:16-17. 19; 64:2-7
You, Lord, are our father, our redeemer you are named
forever. Why do you let us wander, O Lord, from your ways,
and harden our hearts so that we fear you not? Return for
the sake of your servants, the tribes of your heritage. Oh,
that you would rend the heavens and come down, with the
mountains quaking before you, while you wrought awesome
deeds we could not hope for, such as they had not heard of
from of old. No ear has ever heard, no eye ever seen, any
God but you doing such deeds for those who wait for him.
Would that you might meet us doing right, that we were
mindful of you in our ways! Behold, you are angry, and
we are sinful; all of us have become like unclean people,
all our good deeds are like polluted rags; we have all withered
like leaves, and our guilt carries us away like the wind.
There is none who calls upon your name, who rouses himself
to cling to you; for you have hidden your face from us and
have delivered us up to our guilt. Yet, O Lord, you are our
father; we are the clay and you the potter: we are all the work
o f your hands.

Responsorial Psalm: Ps 80
R –Lord, make us turn to you, let us see your face and we
shall be saved!
O shepherd of Israel, hearken, from your throne upon the
cherubim, shine forth. Rouse your power, and come to save us. R.
* Once again, O Lord of hosts, look down from heaven,
and see; take care of this vine, and protect what your right
hand has planted, the son of man whom you yourself made strong. R.
* May your help be with the man of your right hand, with
the son of man whom you yourself made strong. Then we will
no more withdraw from you. Give us new life, and we will call upon your name. R.
2nd Reading: 1 Cor 1:3-9
Brothers and sisters:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the
Lord Jesus Christ.
I give thanks to my God always on your account for the
grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus. In him you were
enriched in every way, with all discourse and all knowledge,
as the testimony to Christ was confi rmed among you, so that
you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the
revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will keep you fi rm to
the end, irreproachable on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God is faithful, and by him you were called to fellowship with
his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Gospel Acclamation: Ps 85:8
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Show us, Lord, your love; and grant us your salvation.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Gospel: Mk 13:33-37
Jesus said to his disciples: “Be watchful! Be alert! You do
not know when the time will come.
It is like a man traveling abroad. He leaves home and
places his servants in charge, each with his own work, and
orders the gatekeeper to be on the watch.
Watch, therefore; you do not know when the lord of the
house is coming, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at
cockcrow, or in the morning. May he not come suddenly and
fi nd you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to all: ‘Watch!’ ”
