First Reading: Hebrews 10: 19-25

A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews.

Brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,
by the new and living way
which he opened for us through the curtain,
that is, through his flesh,
and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience
and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,
for he who promised is faithful;
and let us consider
how to stir up one another to love and good works,
not neglecting to meet together,
as is the habit of some,
but encouraging one another,
and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

The Word of the Lord.

 

 

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 24:1-2.3-4ab.5-6 (R. see 6)

Let us now pray the Responsorial Psalm:

R/. These are the people who seek your face, O Lord.

The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness,
the world, and those who dwell in it.
It is he who set it on the seas;
on the rivers, he made it firm.

Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord?
Who shall stand in his holy place?
The clean of hands and pure of heart,
whose soul is not set on vain things.

Blessings from the Lord shall he receive,
and right reward from the God who saves him.
Such are the people who seek him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob.

R/. These are the people who seek your face, O Lord.

 

Alleluia, Alleluia.
Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light to my path.
Alleluia.

 

Gospel: Mark 4:21-25

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark.

At that time:
Jesus said to the crowd,
“Is a lamp brought in to be put under a bushel,
or under a bed, and not on a stand?
For there is nothing hidden, except to be made manifest;
nor is anything secret, except to come to light.
If any one has ears to hear, let them hear.”
And he said to them, “Take heed what you hear;
the measure you give will be the measure you get,
and still more will be given you.
For to him who has will more be given;
and from him who has not,
even what he has will be taken away.”

The Gospel of the Lord.
