En lisant

Le livre du prophète Isaïe 63: 16b-17, 19b; 64: 2-7

63:16	For you are our Father, and Abraham has not known us, and Israel has been ignorant of us. You are our Father, O Lord our Redeemer. Your name is beyond all ages.
63:17	Why have you allowed us to stray from your ways, ô Seigneur? Why have you hardened our heart, so that we do not fear you? Retour, for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance.
63:19	We have become as we were in the beginning, when you did not rule over us, and when we were not called by your name.

64:2	They would melt, as if thoroughly burned by fire. The waters would burn with fire, so that your name might be made known to your enemies, so that the nations would be stirred up before your face.
64:3	When you will perform miracles, we will not be able to withstand them. You descended, and the mountains flowed away before your presence.
64:4	From ages past, they have not heard it, and they have not perceived it with the ears. Apart from you, Oh mon dieu, the eye has not seen what you have prepared for those who await you.
64:5	You have met with those who rejoice in doing justice. By your ways, they will remember you. Voir, you have been angry, for we have sinned. Dans ce, we have continued, but we will be saved.
64:6	And we have all become like the unclean. And all our justices are like a rag of menstruation. And we have all fallen away, like a leaf. And our iniquities have carried us away, like the wind.
64:7	There is no one who calls upon your name, who rises up and holds fast to you. You have concealed your face from us, and you have crushed us with the hand of our own iniquity.

Deuxième lecture

The First Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians 1: 3-9

1:3	Grâce et paix à vous de la part de Dieu notre Père et du Seigneur Jésus-Christ.
1:4	Je rends continuellement grâces à mon Dieu pour vous à cause de la grâce de Dieu qui vous a été donnée en Jésus-Christ.
1:5	Par cette grâce, en toutes choses, tu es devenu riche en lui, dans chaque mot et dans toute connaissance.
1:6	Et ainsi, le témoignage de Christ a été fortifié en vous.
1:7	De cette façon, rien ne te manque dans aucune grâce, en attendant la révélation de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ.
1:8	Et il, aussi, te fortifiera, même jusqu'à la fin, sans culpabilité, jusqu'au jour de l'avènement de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ.
1:9	Dieu est fidèle. À travers lui, tu as été appelé dans la communion de son Fils, Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur.

Gospel

Le Saint Evangile selon Marc 13: 33-37

13:33	Take heed, Soyez vigilant, and pray. For you do not know when the time may be.
13:34	It is like a man who, setting out on a sojourn, left behind his house, and gave his servants authority over every work, and instructed the doorkeeper to stand watch.
13:35	Donc, Soyez vigilant, for you do not know when the lord of the house may arrive: in the evening, or in the middle of the night, or at first light, or in the morning.
13:36	Sinon, when he will have arrived unexpectedly, he may find you sleeping.
13:37	But what I say to you, I say to all: Be vigilant.”
