Holy Gospel:
42 Stay awake, then, for you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 Just think about this: if the owner of the house knew that the thief would come by night around a certain hour, he would stay awake to prevent his house to be broken into. 44 So be alert, for the Son of Man will come at the hour you least expect.
45 Imagine a capable servant whom his master has put in charge of his household to give them food at the proper time. 46 Fortunate indeed is that servant whom his master will find at work when he comes. 47 Truly, I say to you, his lord will entrust that one with everything he has.
48 Not so with the bad servant who thinks: My master is delayed. 49 And he begins ill-treating his fellow servants while eating and drinking with drunkards. 50 But his master will come on the day he does not know and at the hour he least expects. 51 He will dismiss that servant and deal with him as with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

7 What a consolation for us, brothers and sisters, in the midst of our troubles and trials, this faith of yours! 8 It is a breath of life for us when you stand firm in the Lord. 9 How can we thank God enough for all the joy that we feel before God because of you? 10 Day and night we beg of him to let us see you again, that we may complete the instruction of the believers.
11 May God our Father and Jesus our Lord prepare the way for us to visit you. 12 May the Lord increase more and more your love for each other and for all people, as he increases our love for you. 13 May he strengthen you internally to be holy and blameless before God, our Father, on the day that Jesus, our Lord, will come with all his saints.
Responsorial Psalm:
Fill us with your love, O Lord, and we will sing for joy!
3 You turn humans back to dust, saying, “Return, O mortals!”
4 A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has passed, or like a watch in the night.
5 You sow them in their time, at dawn they peep out.
12 So make us know the shortness of our life, that we may gain wisdom of heart.
13 How long will you be angry, O Lord? Have mercy on your servant.
14 Fill us at daybreak with your goodness, that we may be glad all our days.
17 May the sweetness of the Lord be upon us; may he prosper the work of our hands.
