The Liturgy of the Word
You can follow the Readings also in other languages:
First Reading
Dn 12:1-3
In those days, I Daniel,
heard this word of the Lord:
"At that time there shall arise
Michael, the great prince,
guardian of your people;
it shall be a time unsurpassed in distress
since nations began until that time.
At that time your people shall escape,
everyone who is found written in the book.
“Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake;
some shall live forever,
others shall be an everlasting horror and disgrace.
“But the wise shall shine brightly
like the splendor of the firmament,
and those who lead the many to justice
shall be like the stars forever."
- The word of the Lord.
- Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 16:5, 8, 9-10, 11
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord!
O LORD, my allotted portion and my cup,
you it is who hold fast my lot.
I set the LORD ever before me;
with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord!
Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices,
my body, too, abides in confidence;
because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld,
nor will you suffer your faithful one to undergo corruption.
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord!
You will show me the path to life,
fullness of joys in your presence,
the delights at your right hand forever.
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord!
Second Reading
Heb 10:11-14, 18
Brothers and sisters:
Every priest stands daily at his ministry,
offering frequently those same sacrifices
that can never take away sins.
But this one offered one sacrifice for sins,
and took his seat forever at the right hand of God;
now he waits until his enemies are made his footstool.
For by one offering
he has made perfect forever those who are being consecrated.
Where there is forgiveness of these,
there is no longer offering for sin.
- The word of the Lord.
- Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation
Cf. Lk 21:36
R. Sing Hallelujah to the Lord
Sing Hallelujah to the Lord
Sing Hallelujah, sing Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah to the Lord
Be vigilant at all times
and pray that you have the strength to stand before the Son of Man.
R. Chante alléluia au Seigneur

Gospel
Mk 13:24-32
- The Lord be with you.
- And with your spirit.
- A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark.
- Glory to you, O Lord.
Jesus said to his disciples:
"In those days after that tribulation
the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light,
and the stars will be falling from the sky,
and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
"And then they will see 'the Son of Man coming in the clouds'
with great power and glory,
and then he will send out the angels
and gather his elect from the four winds,
from the end of the earth to the end of the sky.
"Learn a lesson from the fig tree.
When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves,
you know that summer is near.
In the same way, when you see these things happening,
know that he is near, at the gates.
Amen, I say to you,
this generation will not pass away
until all these things have taken place.
Heaven and earth will pass away,
but my words will not pass away.
"But of that day or hour, no one knows,
neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
- The Gospel of the Lord.
- Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Creed
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Prayer of the Faithful
With trust and confidence, we present our needs to our Heavenly Father. Let us pray together saying:
R. Lord hear our prayer.
1. In today’s gospel Jesus reminds us that our lives are finite and will one day come to an end. We pray for the wisdom to live each day as if it is our last and to treat all others with the same love and generosity as we ourselves would wish to receive from our loving God on our Day of Judgement.
We pray to the Lord. R. Lord hear our prayer.
2. We pray for the Church. May we be light for our world, open to listening to each other, reconciling those who feel alienated, welcoming back those who have strayed.
We pray to the Lord. R. Lord hear our prayer.
3. We pray for those burdened by fear, anxiety, or despair: That they may find peace in God’s unfailing presence, strength in His promises, and support through the love and prayers of the Church.

We pray to the Lord. R. Lord hear our prayer.
5. We bow our heads and remember in silence our own personal intentions and the intentions of those who have asked for our prayers. (pause)

The Communion Rite
- At the Saviour’s command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
OR
Pater noster, qui es in cælis:
sanctificétur nomen tuum;
advéniat regnum tuum;
fiat volúntas tua,
sicut in cælo, et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie;
et dimítte nobis débita nostra,
sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris;
et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem;
sed líbera nos a malo.
- Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil,
graciously grant peace in our days,
that, by the help of your mercy,
we may be always free from sin
and safe from all distress,
as we await the blessed hope
and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
- For the kingdom,
the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
(Quia tuum est regnum,
et potéstas, et glória
in sǽcula.)
- Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your Apostles:
Peace I leave you, my peace I give you,
look not on our sins,
but on the faith of your Church,
and graciously grant her peace and unity
in accordance with your will.
Who live and reign for ever and ever.
- Amen.
- The peace of the Lord be with you always. (Pax Dómini sit semper vobíscum.)
- And with your spirit. (Et cum spíritu tuo.)
Then, if appropriate, the Deacon, or the Priest, adds:

Pescador de hombres
Lord, you have come to the seashore,
neither searching for the rich nor the wise,
desiring only that I should follow.
OH LORD, WITH YOUR EYES SET UP ON ME,
GENTLY SMILING YOU HAVE SPOKEN MY NAME;
ALL I LONGED FOR I HAVE FOUND BY THE WATER
AT YOUR SIDE, I WILL SEEK OTHER SHORES.
Tú Sabes bien lo que tengo
En mi barca, no hay oro ni espadas
Tan solo redes y mi trabajo
Señor, me has mirado a los ojos,
sonriendo has dicho mi nombre.
En la arena he dejado mi barca;
junto a ti, buscaré otro mar.
Lord, take my hands and direct them.
Help me spend myself in seeking the lost,
returning love for the love you gave me.
OH LORD, WITH YOUR EYES SET UP ON ME,
GENTLY SMILING YOU HAVE SPOKEN MY NAME;
ALL I LONGED FOR I HAVE FOUND BY THE WATER
AT YOUR SIDE, I WILL SEEK OTHER SHORES.
Tú pescador de otros lagos,

“amigo bueno”, que así me llamas.

sonriendo has dicho mi nombre.
En la arena he dejado mi barca;
junto a ti, buscaré otro mar.
