Readings of the day

First Reading: Daniel 5:1-6,13-14,16-17,23-28
Psalm: Daniel 3:62,63,64,65,66,67

Gospel: Luke 21:12-19

In those days, Jesus told his disciples: “But before all this occurs, they will arrest you and persecute you; they will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors because of my name. This will give you an opportunity to testify. So make up your minds not to prepare your defence in advance; for I will give you words and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict. 

You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, by relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all because of my name. But not a hair of your head will perish. By your endurance you will gain your souls. When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near.”  Read more »
