Gospel Reading<\/u><\/strong>    <\/strong>   <\/strong> Luke 12.32\u201340<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke<\/em><\/p>\n

All<\/em><\/strong>     Glory<\/strong> to you, O Lord<\/strong>.  <\/h2>\n

\u2018Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father\u2019s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.  Sell your possessions, and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.<\/p>\n

 \u2018Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit;  be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks.  Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them.  If he comes during the middle of the night, or near dawn, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.<\/p>\n

  \u2018But know this: if the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.  You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.\u2019<\/p>\n

This is the Gospel of the Lord                            <\/em><\/p>\n
