First Reading: Isaiah 2:1-5
The visionary message presented in this reading focuses on the future day when God establishes a universal reign of peace. Divine decisions will make war obsolete, and the worshiping community responds: “let us walk in that light of that Lord now!”
Second Reading: Romans 13:11-14
Paul compares the advent of Christ to the coming of dawn. We live our lives today in light of Christ’s coming in the future.
Gospel: Matthew 24:36-44
Jesus describes his second coming as a sudden, unexpected event that will bring salvation or judgement upon people caught up in the usual affairs of daily life. He urges people to be alert and expectant.
