And the dead, who are in Christ, shall rise up first. - 17 Next, we who are alive, who are remaining, shall be taken up quickly together with them into the clouds to meet Christ in the air. And in this way, we shall be with the Lord always. - 18 Therefore, console one another with these words.

Go out to meet him.’ - 7 Then all those virgins rose up and trimmed their lamps. - 8 But the foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give to us from your oil, for our lamps are being extinguished.’ - 9 The prudent responded by saying, ‘Lest perhaps there may not be enough for us and for you, it would be better for you to go to the vendors and buy some for yourselves.’ - 10 But while they were going to buy it, the groom arrived. And those who were prepared entered with him to the wedding, and the door was closed. - 11 Yet truly, at the very end, the remaining virgins also arrived, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’ - 12 But he responded by saying, ‘Amen I say to you, I do not know you.’ - 13 And so you must be vigilant, because you do not know the day or the hour.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
