Solemnity of All Saints – November 1, 2026

⁷But to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the giving of Christ.

⁸Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive; he gave gifts to men.

⁹Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

¹⁰He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

¹¹And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors,

¹²For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

¹³Until we all meet into the unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ;

¹⁴That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the wickedness of men, by cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive.

¹⁵But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ:

¹⁶From whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body, unto the edifying of itself in charity.

¹I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.

²Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

³Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.

⁴For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.

⁵Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.

¹¹Say to them: As I live, saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way, and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways: and why will you die, O house of Israel?

¹And there were present, at that very time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

²And he answering, said to them: Think you that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, because they suffered such things?

³No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish.

⁴Or those eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them: think you, that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

⁵No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish.

⁶He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.

⁷And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it done therefore: why cumbereth it the ground?

⁸But he answering, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it, and dung it.

⁹And if happily it bear fruit: but if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

²And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the sign of the living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

³Saying: Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we sign the servants of our God in their foreheads.

⁴And I heard the number of them that were signed, an hundred forty-four thousand were signed, of every tribe of the children of Israel.

⁹After this I saw a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and in sight of the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands:

¹⁰And they cried with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our God, who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb.

¹¹And all the angels stood round about the throne, and the ancients, and the four living creatures; and they fell down before the throne upon their faces, and adored God,

¹²Saying: Amen. Benediction, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, honour, and power, and strength to our God for ever and ever. Amen.

¹³And one of the ancients answered, and said to me: These that are clothed in white robes, who are they? and whence came they?

¹⁴And I said to him: My Lord, thou knowest. And he said to me: These are they who are come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

²For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.

³Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?

⁴The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

⁵He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

⁶This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

¹Behold what manner of charity the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called, and should be the sons of God. Therefore the world knoweth not us, because it knew not him.

²Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God; and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know, that, when he shall appear, we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is.

³And every one that hath this hope in him, sanctifieth himself, as he also is holy.

¹And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him.

²And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying:

³Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

⁴Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.

⁵Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

⁶Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.

⁷Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

⁸Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.

⁹Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.

¹⁰Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:

¹²Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven.
