1st Reading – Wisdom 13:1-9

1 But all men are vain, who are not under the knowledge of God, and who, from these good things that are seen, were not able to understand he who is, nor, by paying attention to the works, did they acknowledge he who was the artisan.

2 Instead, they had considered either the fire, or the air, or the atmosphere, or the circle of stars, or the great sea, or the sun and moon, to be the gods that rule the world.

3 If they, being delighted by such sights, supposed them to be gods, let them know how great the Lord of them is in splendor. For he who created all things is the author of beauty.

4 Or, if they wondered at their power and their effects, let them understand by these things, that he who created them is mightier than they are.

5 For, by the greatness of the creation and its beauty, the creator of these will be able to be seen discernibly.

6 Yet, up to this point, the complaint about this is lesser. For perhaps they made a mistake in this, while desiring and seeking to find God.

7 And, indeed, having some familiarity with him through his works, they search, and they are persuaded, because the things that they are seeing are good.

8 But, then again, neither can their debt be ignored.

9 For, if they were able to know enough so that they could value the universe, how is it they did not easily discover the Lord of it?

Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 19:2-3, 4-5AB

R. (2a) The heavens proclaim the glory of God.

2 The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
3 Day pours out the word to day,
and night to night imparts knowledge.
R. The heavens proclaim the glory of God.

4 Not a word nor a discourse
whose voice is not heard;
5AB Through all the earth their voice resounds,
and to the ends of the world, their message.
R. The heavens proclaim the glory of God.

Alleluia – Luke 21:28

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
28 Stand erect and raise your heads
because your redemption is at hand.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel – Luke 17:26-37

Jesus said to his disciples:
26 “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man;

27 they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

28 Similarly, as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating, drinking, buying,
selling, planting, building;

29 on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from the sky to destroy them all.

30 So it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31 On that day, someone who is on the housetop and whose belongings are in the house must not go down to get them, and likewise one in the field must not return to what was left behind.

32 Remember the wife of Lot.

33 Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save it.

34 I tell you, on that night there will be two people in one bed; one will be taken, the other left.

35 And there will be two women grinding meal together; one will be taken, the other left.”

37 They said to him in reply, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather.”
