Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Concerning dates and times, brothers, you do not need us to write to you. For you yourselves thoroughly understand that the day of the Lord shall arrive much like a thief in the night. For when they will say, “Peace and security!” then destruction will suddenly overwhelm them, like the labor pains of a woman with child, and they will not escape. But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that you would be overtaken by that day as by a thief. For all of you are sons of light and sons of daytime; we are not of nighttime, nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep, as the rest do. Instead, we should be vigilant and sober.
