First Reading - Rev 5:1-10
1 And in the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne, I saw a book, written inside and out, sealed with seven seals.2 And I saw a strong Angel, proclaiming with a great voice, “Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?”3 And no one was able, neither in heaven, nor on earth, nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to gaze upon it.4 And I wept greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book, nor to see it.5 And one of the elders said to me: “Weep not. Behold, the lion from the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has prevailed to open the book and to break its seven seals.”6 And I saw, and behold, in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb was standing, as if it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent forth to all the earth.7 And he approached and received the book from the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne.8 And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having stringed instruments, as well as golden bowls full of fragrances, which are the prayers of the saints.9 And they were singing a new canticle, saying: “O Lord, you are worthy to receive the book and to open its seals, because you were slain and have redeemed us for God, by your blood, from every tribe and language and people and nation.10 And you have made us into a kingdom and into priests for our God, and we shall reign over the earth.”

Psalm - Ps 149:1b-6a, 9b
1b Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.3 Let them praise his name in chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.5 The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.6a The exultations of God will be in their throat

Gospel - Lk 19:41-44
41 And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:42 “If only you had known, indeed even in this your day, which things are for your peace. But now they are hidden from your eyes.43 For the days will overtake you. And your enemies will encircle you with a valley. And they will surround you and hem you in on every side.44 And they will knock you down to the ground, with your sons who are in you. And they will not leave stone upon stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
