1st Reading: Isaiah 63:16-17, 64:1,3-8
You Lord, yourself, are our Father, 'Our Redeemer' is your

of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance ...

Gospel: Mark 13:33-37
Jesus said to his disciples:
'Be on your guard, stay awake, because you never know when the time
will come. It is like a man travelling abroad: he has gone from home
and left his servants in charge, each with his own task; and he
has told the doorkeeper to stay awake. So stay awake, because
you do not know when the master of the house is coming ...'

Communion Antiphon: Psalm 84:13
The Lord will bestow his bounty,
and our earth shall yield its increase.
