Read in the CPDV: Daniel 3
Gospel Luke 21:20-28
20Then, when you will have seen Jerusalem encircled by an army, know then that its desolation has drawn near.
21Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and those who are in its midst withdraw, and those who are in the countryside not enter into it.
22For these are the days of retribution, so that all things may be fulfilled, which have been written.
23Then woe to those who are pregnant or nursing in those days. For there will be great distress upon the land and great wrath upon this people.
24And they will fall by the edge of the sword. And they will be led away as captives into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles, until the times of the nations are fulfilled.
25And there will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars. And there will be, on earth, distress among the Gentiles, out of confusion at the roaring of the sea and of the waves:
26men withering away out of fear and out of apprehension over the things that will overwhelm the whole world. For the powers of the heavens will be moved.
27And then they will see the Son of man coming on a cloud, with great power and majesty.
28But when these things begin to happen, lift up your heads and look around you, because your redemption draws near.”

Second Reading 1 Corinthians 1:3-9
3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4I give thanks to my God continuously for you because of the grace of God that has been given to you in Christ Jesus.
5By that grace, in all things, you have become wealthy in him, in every word and in all knowledge.
6And so, the testimony of Christ has been strengthened in you.
7In this way, nothing is lacking to you in any grace, as you await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8And he, too, will strengthen you, even until the end, without guilt, until the day of the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9God is faithful. Through him, you have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Gospel Luke 17:11-19
11And it happened that, while he was traveling to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12And as he was entering a certain town, ten leprous men met him, and they stood at a distance.
13And they lifted up their voice, saying, “Jesus, Teacher, take pity on us.”
14And when he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that, as they were going, they were cleansed.
15And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, returned, magnifying God with a loud voice.
16And he fell face down before his feet, giving thanks. And this one was a Samaritan.
17And in response, Jesus said: “Were not ten made clean? And so where are the nine?
18Was no one found who would return and give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
19And he said to him: “Rise up, go forth. For your faith has saved you.”

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.
