eavenly Father, whose blessed Son was revealed
to destroy the works of the devil and to make
us the children of God and heirs of eternal life:
grant that we, having this hope, may purify ourselves
even as he is pure; that when he shall appear in power
and great glory we may be made like him in his eternal
and glorious kingdom; where he is alive and reigns with
you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
for ever. Amen.

Second Reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6
Theme: Let not the Day of the Lord overtake you like a thief.
Y
First Reading: Proverbs 31:10-13.19-20.30-31
Theme: A perfect wife - who can ﬁnd her?
ou will not be expecting us to write anything to you,
brothers, about ‘times and seasons’, since you know
very well that the Day of the Lord is going to come
like a thief in the night. It is when people are saying, ‘How
quiet and peaceful it is’ that the worst suddenly happens,
as suddenly as labour pains come on a pregnant woman;
and there will be no way for anybody to evade it.
But it is not as if you live in the dark, my brothers, for
that Day to overtake you like a thief. No, you are all sons
of light and sons of the day: we do not belong to the night
or to darkness, so we should not go on sleeping, as
everyone else does, but stay wide awake and sober. · This
is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
A
Alleluia… Alleluia…
Make your home in me, as I make mine in you, says the
Lord. Whoever remains in me bears fruit in plenty.
(Alleluias as before)
perfect wife - who can ﬁnd her? She is far
beyond the price of pearls. Her husband’s heart
has conﬁdence in her; from her he will derive no
little proﬁt. Advantage and not hurt she brings him all
the days of her life. She is always busy with wool and
with ﬂax, she does her work with eager hands. She sets
her hands to the distaff, her ﬁngers grasp the spindle.
She holds out her hand to the poor, she opens her arms
to the needy. Charm is deceitful, and beauty empty; the
woman who is wise is the one to praise. Give her a
share in what her hands have worked for, and let her
works tell her praises at the city gates. · This is the
Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm: 127 vv 1-5
The Gospel: Matthew 25:14-15.19-21
Theme: You have been faithful in small things; come and join in
your master's happiness.
8am
The Lord be with you; and with thy spirit.
A reading from the holy gospel according to Matthew:
Glory be to thee, O Lord.
The Lord be with you: and also with you.
A reading from the holy gospel according to Matthew:
Glory to you, O Lord.

1. O blessed are those who fear the Lord
and walk in his ways!
By the labour of your hands you shall eat.
You will be happy and prosper. (R)
2. Your wife like a fruitful vine
in the heart of your house;
your children like shoots of the olive,
around your table. (R)
esus spoke this parable to his disciples: ‘The kingdom of
heaven is like a man on his way abroad who summoned
his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one
he gave ﬁve talents, to another two, to a third one; each in
proportion to his ability. Then he set out. Now a long
time after, the master of those servants came back and
went through his accounts with them. The man who had
received the ﬁve talents came forward bringing ﬁve more.
“Sir”, he said “you entrusted me with ﬁve talents; here are
ﬁve more that I have made.” ’ · This is the gospel of the
Lord. Praise to you, O Christ.
8am
Praise be to thee, O Christ
