Liturgical readings
2 Maccabees 7:1-2, 9-14
Psalm 17
2 Thessalonians 2:16 - 3:5
Luke 20:27-38
"Not everyone has faith; but the Lord, however, keeps faith."
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself,
may God our Father
who loved us
and in his mercy
gave us eternal consolation
and hope,
console your hearts
and strengthen them
for every good work
and word.
For the rest, brothers,
pray for us
that the word of the Lord
may make progress
and be hailed by many others,
even as it has been by you.
Pray that we may be delivered
from confused
and evil men.
For not everyone
has faith;
but the Lord,
however,
keeps faith;
he it is
who will strengthen you
and guard you against
the evil one.
In the Lord
we are confident
that you are doing
and will continue
to do whatever we enjoin.
May the Lord rule your hearts
in the love of God
and the constancy of Christ.
