Liturgy of the Word First Reading – Daniel 12:1-3 James Jordan
[I, Daniel, mourned and I heard this word of the Lord:] “At that
time there shall arise Michael, the great prince, guardian of your
people; It shall be a time unsurpassed in distress since nations
began until that time. At that time your people shall escape,
everyone who is found written in the book. Many of those who sleep
in the dust of the earth shall awake; some shall live forever,
others shall be an everlasting horror and disgrace. But the wise
shall shine brightly like the splendor of the firmament, and those
who lead the many to justice shall be like the stars forever.
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Psalm 23
Second Reading – 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 Paul Jordan Behold, I
tell you a mystery. We shall not all fall asleep, but we will all
be changed, in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last
trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For that which is
corruptible must clothe itself with incorruptibility, and that
which is mortal must clothe itself with immortality. And when this
which is corruptible clothes itself with incorruptibility and this
which is mortal clothes itself with immortality, then the word that
is written shall come about: “Death is swallowed up in victory.
Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But
thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ.
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation “Celtic Alleluia”
Gospel – John 14:1-6 Fr. Chris Koehn Jesus said to his
disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in
God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many
dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am
going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place
for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that
where I am you also may be. Where I am going you know the way.”
Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going;
how can we know the way?”
Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No
one comes to the Father exceptthrough me.
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ
