Book 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.

Psalm

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.

Gospel

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. Virgil(Bishop († 784))

Saint Virgil Bishop(c. 8th century - 784) St. Virgil was an Irish nobleman who evangelized Europe. He was born circa 700, was educated at the monastery of Iona and was evenetually appointed abbott of Aghaboe. He went to Jerusalem on a pilgrimage in 745 and afterward settled in France. St. Virgil met the future King Peppin III and became the latter's advisor. Owing to years of Christian education and experience governing communities, St. Virgil advised King Peppin III and acted as an emissary. He founded a monastery in Bavaria thanks to King Odillo's support and likely educated nobles as he had done in Ireland. Around this time, he converted the Alpine Slavs. When St. Boniface passed away, St. Virgil was appointed bishop of Salzburg in Austria. He evangelized toward the east and sowed the seeds of faith in Carinthia in the Eastern Alps. He served as bishop for 8 years before passing away in 784. In 1233, he was canonized by Pope Gregory IX.
