Jeremiah 33: 14-16
14The days are coming—oracle of the LORD—when I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
15In those days, at that time, I will make a just shoot spring up for David; he shall do what is right and just in the land.
16In those days Judah shall be saved and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; this is the name they shall call her: “The LORD our justice.”

Gospel
Luke 21: 25-28, 34-36
25“There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves.
26People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand.” The Lesson of the Fig Tree.
34Exhortation to Be Vigilant. “Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise
35like a trap. For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth.
36Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.”
