1. ReadingBook of Revelation
14,14-19.]I, John, looked and there was a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud one who looked like a son of man, with a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.
]Another angel came out of the temple, crying out in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, "Use your sickle and reap the harvest, for the time to reap has come, because the earth's harvest is fully ripe."
]So the one who was sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
]Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven who also had a sharp sickle.
]Then another angel (came) from the altar, (who) was in charge of the fire, and cried out in a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, "Use your sharp sickle and cut the clusters from the earth's vines, for its grapes are ripe."
]So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and cut the earth's vintage. He threw it into the great wine press of God's fury.
Psalms
96(95),10.11-12.13.]Say among the nations: The LORD is king.
He has made the world firm, not to be moved;
He governs the peoples with equity.
]Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice;
let the sea and what fills it resound;
]let the plains be joyful and all that is in them.
Then shall all the trees of the forest exult before the LORD.
]The LORD comes,
he comes to rule the earth.
He shall rule the world with justice
and the peoples with his constancy.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke
21,5-11.]While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said,
]"All that you see here--the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down."
]Then they asked him, "Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?"
]He answered, "See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and 'The time has come.' Do not follow them!
]When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end."
]Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
]There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky."
St. Cecilia(Virgin and Martyr († 230) - Memorial)
SAINT CECILIA Virgin and Martyr( 230)22.11. Αγίας Καικιλίας, Παρθενομάρτυρος. Μν.Υ.Ανάγνωσμα από το Βιβλίο του Λευιτικού 19,1-2.17-18.Ο Κύριος έδωσε εντολή στο Μωυσή:να πει σ' όλη την ισραηλιτική κοινότητα: «Να είστε άγιοι, γιατί εγώ ο Κύριος, ο Θεός σας, είμαι άγιος.»Μην κρατάς πικρία στην καρδιά σου για τον άλλο· εξηγήσου μαζί του ανοιχτά, για να μη σε βαραίνει καμιά αμαρτία εξαιτίας του.Μην είσαι εκδικητικός και μνησίκακος απέναντι στους άλλους, αλλά ν' αγαπάς τον πλησίον σου όπως τον εαυτό σου. Εγώ είμαι ο Κύριος».Λόγος του ΚυρίουΨαλμός 15(14),2.3-4a.5.Αντίφωνο: Ο δίκαιος θα αναπαυθεί, * πάνω στο άγιο σου όρος, ΚύριεΌποιος ακέραιος πορεύεται κι εργάζεται τη δικαιοσύνη, *όποιος λέει την αλήθεια στην καρδιά του,όποιος με τη γλώσσα του δεν συκοφάντησε,ούτε έκανε κακό στον πλησίον του *ούτε χλεύασε τον διπλανό του.Δείχνει στον πονηρό την περιφρόνησή του, *Όποιος ορκίστηκε και δεν αθετεί ό,τι κι αν του στοιχίσει,όποιος δεν δάνεισε τα χρήματά του με τόκο *και δώρα δεν έλαβε εις βάρος του αθώου.Ανάγνωσμα από το κατά Ματθαίο Άγιο Ευαγγέλιο (7,21-27.)«Στη βασιλεία του Θεού δε θα μπει όποιος μου λέει “Κύριε, Κύριε”, αλλά όποιος κάνει το θέλημα του ουράνιου Πατέρα μου.Την ημέρα της κρίσεως πολλοί θα μου πουν: “Κύριε, Κύριε, δεν προφητέψαμε στο όνομά σου; Δε διώξαμε δαιμόνια στο όνομά σου; Δεν κάναμε τόσα θαύματα στο όνομά σου;”Και τότε θα τους πω κι εγώ: “ποτέ δε σας ήξερα· φύγετε μακριά μου, εσείς που αντιστρατεύεστε το νόμο του Θεού”».«Όποιος ακούει αυτά τα λόγια μου και τα τηρεί, αυτόν τον παρομοιάζω μ' έναν συνετό άνθρωπο, που έχτισε το σπίτι του πάνω στο βράχο.Έτσι, όταν ήρθε η βροχή και πλημμύρισαν τα ποτάμια και φύσηξαν οι άνεμοι και έπεσαν ορμητικά πάνω σ' εκείνο το σπίτι, δεν γκρεμίστηκε, γιατί είχε θεμελιωθεί πάνω στο βράχο.Κι όποιος ακούει αυτά τα λόγια μου, μα δεν τα τηρεί στην πράξη, μοιάζει μ' έναν άμυαλο άνθρωπο, που έχτισε το σπίτι του πάνω στην άμμο.Έτσι, όταν ήρθε η βροχή και πλημμύρισαν τα ποτάμια και φύσηξαν οι άνεμοι κι έπεσαν πάνω σ' εκείνο το σπίτι, αυτό γκρεμίστηκε· και η πτώση του έγινε με πάταγο μεγάλο».Λόγος του Κυρίου St. Cecilia was a Roman noblewoman. On her wedding day, she renewed her vows and consecrated her virginity to God. She told her husband Valerian that an angel of God was with her. When he asked for proof, she told him that he would see the angel if he was baptized. Valerian was baptized by Pope Urban; and when he returned, he saw an angel of the Lord with St. Cecilia. Valerian's brother Tibertius and a soldier, Maximiam, were also baptized. Unfortunately, they were arrested during the persecution. Instead of apostatizing, they declared their faith in Jesus Christ, were martyred and attained the beatific vision. After St. Cecilia was arrested, she was thrown into a bath heated to extreme temperature. Miraculously, she did not suffocate. Later, an executioner struck her neck three times; but to everyone's amazement, she survived. She remained awake: talking about God, Jesus Christ and Mother Mary. St. Cecilia's resting place is in Italy. When her remains were transferred centuries later, her body was found uncorrupted and emitting a fragrance. She is invoked as the defender and patroness of virgins, women and musicians.
