Gospel, Matthew 24:37-44

³⁷ 'As it was in Noah's day, so will it be when the Son of man comes.

³⁸ For in those days before the Flood people were eating, drinking, taking wives, taking husbands, right up to the day Noah went into the ark,

³⁹ and they suspected nothing till the Flood came and swept them all away. This is what it will be like when the Son of man comes.

⁴⁰ Then of two men in the fields, one is taken, one left;

⁴¹ of two women grinding at the mill, one is taken, one left.

⁴² 'So stay awake, because you do not know the day when your master is coming.

⁴³ You may be quite sure of this, that if the householder had known at what time of the night the burglar would come, he would have stayed awake and would not have allowed anyone to break through the wall of his house.

⁴⁴ Therefore, you too must stand ready because the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

Reading 2, Romans 13:11-14

¹¹ Besides, you know the time has come; the moment is here for you to stop sleeping and wake up, because by now our salvation is nearer than when we first began to believe.

¹² The night is nearly over, daylight is on the way; so let us throw off everything that belongs to the darkness and equip ourselves for the light.

¹³ Let us live decently, as in the light of day; with no orgies or drunkenness, no promiscuity or licentiousness, and no wrangling or jealousy.

¹⁴ Let your armour be the Lord Jesus Christ, and stop worrying about how your disordered natural inclinations may be fulfilled.
