Daniel 12:1-3
A reading from the book of the prophet Daniel
[I, Daniel, mourned and I heard this word of the Lord:] "At that time there shall arise
Michael, the great prince, guardian of your people; It shall be a time unsurpassed in
distress since nations began until that time. At that time your people shall escape,
everyone who is found written in the book. Many of those who sleep in the dust of the
earth shall awake; some shall live forever, others shall be an everlasting horror and
disgrace. But the wise shall shine brightly like the splendor of the firmament, and those
who lead the many to justice shall be like the stars forever.
