Jere 33:14 (NRSV) The days are surely coming, says the LORD, when I will <br>
fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 15 <br>
In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring up <br>
for David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 16 In <br>
those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety. And this <br>
is the name by which it will be called "The LORD is our righteousness."<br>

NEW TESTAMENT 1 Thessalonians 3: 9 - 13 (RCL)<br>
<br>
1The 3:9 (NRSV) How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the <br>
joy that we feel before our God because of you? 10 Night and day we pray <br>
most earnestly that we may see you face to face and restore whatever is <br>
lacking in your faith.<br>
11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to <br>
you. 12 And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one <br>
another and for all, just as we abound in love for you. 13 And may he so <br>
strengthen your hearts in holiness that you may be blameless before our God <br>
and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.<br>
<br>
<br>
1 Thessalonians 3: 12 - 4: 2 (Roman Catholic)<br>
<br>
1The 3:12 (NRSV) And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for <br>
one another and for all, just as we abound in love for you. 13 And may he so <br>
strengthen your hearts in holiness that you may be blameless before our God <br>
and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints. 4:1 Finally, <br>
brothers and sisters, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus that, as you <br>
learned from us how you ought to live and to please God (as, in fact, you <br>
are doing), you should do so more and more. 2 For you know what instructions <br>
we gave you through the Lord Jesus.<br>
<br>
<br>
GOSPEL Luke 21: 25 - 36 (RCL)<br>
Luke 21: 25 - 28, 34 - 36 (Roman Catholic)<br>
<br>
Luke 21:25 (NRSV) "There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, <br>
and on the earth distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea <br>
and the waves. 26 People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is <br>
coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then <br>
they will see "the Son of Man coming in a cloud' with power and great glory. <br>
28 Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, <br>
because your redemption is drawing near."<br>
29 Then he told them a parable: "Look at the fig tree and all the trees; 30 <br>
as soon as they sprout leaves you can see for yourselves and know that <br>
summer is already near. 31 So also, when you see these things taking place, <br>
you know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 Truly I tell you, this <br>
generation will not pass away until all things have taken place. 33 Heaven <br>
and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.<br>
34 "Be on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation <br>
and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day catch you <br>
unexpectedly, 35 like a trap. For it will come upon all who live on the face <br>
of the whole earth. 36 Be alert at all times, praying that you may have the <br>
strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand <br>
before the Son of Man."<br>
