Listen to him.First Reading: Daniel 7:9-10.13-14A reading from the Book of the Prophet Daniel.As I looked, thrones were placedand one that was ancient of days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow,and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames,its wheels were burning fire.A stream of fire issuedand came forth from before him; a thousand thousands served him,and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment,and the books were opened.I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaventhere came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Daysand was presented before him.And to him was given dominionand glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languagesshould serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion,which shall not pass away, and his kingdom onethat shall not be destroyed.The Word of the Lord.Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 97:1-2.5-6.9 (R. cf. 1a.9a)R/.
