Blessed are those who walk in the law of the Lord!Blessed are those whose way is blameless,who walk in the law of the Lord!Blessed are those who keep his decrees!With all their hearts they seek him.I have sought you with all my heart;let me not stray from your commands.I treasure your word in my heart,lest I sin against you.Deal bountifully with your servant,that I may live and keep your word.Open my eyes, that I may seethe wonders of your law.R/. Blessed are those who walk in the law of the Lord! Please stand for the Gospel.Alleluia, Alleluia.Look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.Alleluia. Gospel: Luke 17:26-37A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.At that time: Jesus said to his disciples, “As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of man. They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise, as it was in the days of Lot—they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built, but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom fire and brimstone rained from heaven and destroyed them all—so will it be on the day when the Son of man is revealed. On that day, let him who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away; and likewise let him who is in the field not turn back. Remember Lot’s wife. Whoever seeks to gain his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it. I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. There will be two women grinding together; one will be taken and the other left.”And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”The Gospel of the Lord.
