Holy Gospel:


31 Jesus went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee, and began teaching the people at the sabbath meetings. 32 They were astonished at the way he taught them, for his word was spoken with authority.

33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by an evil spirit who shouted in a loud voice, 34 “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I recognize you: you are the Holy One of God.” 35 Then Jesus said to him sharply, “Be silent and leave this man!” The evil spirit then threw the man down in front of them and came out of him without doing him harm.

36 Amazement seized all these people and they said to one another, “What does this mean? He commands the evil spirits with authority and power. He orders, and you see how they come out!” 37 And news about Je­sus spread through­out the surrounding area.


First Reading:


You do not need anyone to write to you about the delay and the ap­pointed time for these events. You know that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 When people feel secure and at peace, the disaster will suddenly come upon them as the birth pangs of a woman in labor, and they will not escape.

4 But you, beloved, are not in darkness; so that day will not surprise you like a thief. 5 All of you are citizens of the light and the day; we do not belong to night and darkness. 6 Let us not, therefore, sleep as others do, but remain alert and sober.

9 For God has not willed us to be condemned but to win salvation through Christ Jesus our Lord. 10 He died for us so that we might enter into life with him, whether we are still awake or already asleep. 11 There­fore encourage one another and build up one another, as you are doing now.


Responsorial Psalm:


1 The Lord is my light and my salvation
– whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the rampart of my life;
I will not be afraid.

One thing I ask of the Lord, one thing I seek –
that I may dwell in his house all the days of my life,
to gaze at his jewel and to visit his sanctuary.

13 I hope, I am sure,
 that I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.

14 Trust in the Lord, be strong and courageous
yes, put your hope in the Lord!
