See USCCB for the full text of this reading.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 119:1, 2, 10, 11, 17, 18

Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.

Blessed are they that search his testimonies: that seek him with their whole heart.

With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments.

Thy words have I hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against thee.

Give bountifully to thy servant, enliven me: and I shall keep thy words.

Open thou my eyes: and I will consider the wondrous things of thy law.

Gospel Acclamation

Luke 21:28

But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.

Gospel

Luke 17:26-37

And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

They did eat and drink, they married wives and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all.

Likewise as it came to pass in the days of Lot. They did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built.

And in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.

In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back.

Remember Lot's wife.

Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve it.

I say to you: In that night there shall be two men in one bed. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left.

Two women shall be grinding together. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left. Two men shall be in the field. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left.

They answering, say to him: Where, Lord?

Who said to them: Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles also be gathered together.
