GOSPEL. Luke. xxi. 9, 19. At that time: Jesus said to his disciples: When you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified; these things must first come to pass, but the end is not yet presently. Then he said to them; Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places, and pes tilences, and famines, and terrors from heaven, and there shall be great signs. But before all these things they will lay their hands on you: and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into pri sons, dragging you before kings and governors for my name's sake. And it shall happen unto you for a testimony. Lay it up therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer. For [ will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gain-say, And you shall be betrayed by your parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends: and some of you they will put to death. And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but a hair of your head shall not perish. In your patience you shall possess

your souls.

GOSPEL. Luke vi. 17, 23. At that time: Jesus descending from the mountain, stood in a plain place, and the company of his disciples, and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jeru salem, and the sea coast both of Tyre and Sidon, who were come to hear him, and to be healed of And they that were troubled with their diseases. unclean spirits, were cured. And all the multitude sought to touch him, for virtue went out from him, and healed all. And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said; Blessed are the poor; for your's is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now; for you shall laugh. Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate from you, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake. Be glad in that day, and rejoice: for behold, your reward is great in heaven.

And on the one hand indeed, by reproaches and tribulations were made a gazing-stock; and on the other, become companions of them that were used in such sort. For you both had compassion on them that were in bands, and took with joy the being stripped of your own goods, knowing that you have a better and a lasting substance. Do not therefore lose your confidence, which hath a great reward. For patience is necessary for you: that, doing the will of God, you may receive the promise. For yet a little and a very little while, and he that is to come, will come and will not delay. But my just man liveth by faith.

At that time: Jesus was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when these things shall be? and what shall be the signs of thy coming, and of the consummation of the world? And Jesus answering said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you: for many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many. And you shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against king dom; and there shall be pestilences and famines, and earthquakes in places: now all these are the begin Then shall they deliver you up to ning of sorrows. be afflicted, and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name's sake.
