A reading from the first letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians,

We do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, about those who have fallen asleep,

so that you may not grieve like the rest who have no hope. For if we believe

that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen

asleep. Indeed, we tell you this on the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until

the coming of the Lord, will surely not precede those who have fallen asleep.

For the Lord Himself, with a word of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the

trumpet of God, will come down from heaven,

and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up

together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Therefore, console one another with these words.

The Word of the Lord.

The Lord comes to judge the earth.

Awesome is he, beyond all gods.

For all the gods of the nations are things of naught,
