The Reader introduces the Second Lesson. Reader A reading from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. 13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 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, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. After the Second Lesson, the Reader says: Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. Then follows the Sequence Hymn. All standing, the Deacon or Priest reads the Gospel, first saying: Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. Matthew (25:1-13). 5 People Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Come out to meet him.’ 7 Then all those virgins rose and …………………………… trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your …………………………… oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there …………………………… will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for …………………………… yourselves.’ 10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and …………………………… those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door …………………………… 11 was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to …………………………… 12 13 us.’ But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Watch …………………………… therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour. …………………………… After the Gospel, the Deacon says: …………………………… …………………………… Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. …………………………… People Praise to you, Lord Christ. …………………………… …………………………… The Sequence Hymn is continued. …………………………… [Minister pauses to instruct] …………………………… …………………………… The Sermon …………………………… …………………………… The Nicene Creed …………………………… …………………………… The Deacon invites
