    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Hebrews 12:1-4

    1Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,2looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.3Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.4In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 22:26-28, 30-32

    25From thee comes my praise in the great congregation;my vows I will pay before those who fear him. 26The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied;those who seek him shall praise the LORD! May your hearts live for ever! 27All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD;and all the families of the nations shall worship before him. 29Yea, to him shall all the proud of the earth bow down;before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, and he who cannot keep himself alive. 30Posterity shall serve him;men shall tell of the Lord to the coming generation, 31and proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn, that he has wrought it.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Mark 5:21-43

    21And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him;and he was beside the sea. 22Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Ja'irus by name;and seeing him, he fell at his feet, 23and besought him, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live." 24And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him. 25And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27She had heard the reports about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28For she said, "If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well." 29And immediately the hemorrhage ceased;and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my garments?" 31And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, `Who touched me?'" 32And he looked around to see who had done it. 33But the woman, knowing what had been done to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. 34And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well;go in peace, and be healed of your disease." 35While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler's house some who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?" 36But ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe." 37And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James. 38When they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, he saw a tumult, and people weeping and wailing loudly. 39And when he had entered, he said to them, "Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping." 40And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside, and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41Taking her by the hand he said to her, "Tal'itha cu'mi";which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise." 42And immediately the girl got up and walked (she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. 43And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.

  • FRIDAY FOURTH WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME 2017:

    Ordinary Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Heb 13:1-8

    Let brotherly love continue.
    Do not neglect hospitality,
    for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels.
    Be mindful of prisoners as if sharing their imprisonment,
    and of the ill-treated as of yourselves,
    for you also are in the body.
    Let marriage be honored among all
    and the marriage bed be kept undefiled,
    for God will judge the immoral and adulterers.
    Let your life be free from love of money
    but be content with what you have,
    for he has said, I will never forsake you or abandon you.
    Thus we may say with confidence:

    The Lord is my helper,
    and I will not be afraid.
    What can anyone do to me
    ?

    Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you.
    Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
    Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Ps 27:1, 3, 5, 8b-9abc

    R. (1a) The Lord is my light and my salvation.
    The LORD is my light and my salvation;
    whom should I fear?
    The LORD is my life’s refuge;
    of whom should I be afraid?
    R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.
    Though an army encamp against me,
    my heart will not fear;
    Though war be waged upon me,
    even then will I trust.
    R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.
    For he will hide me in his abode
    in the day of trouble;
    He will conceal me in the shelter of his tent,
    he will set me high upon a rock.
    R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.
    Your presence, O LORD, I seek.
    Hide not your face from me;
    do not in anger repel your servant.
    You are my helper: cast me not off.
    R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.

    Alleluia See Lk 8:15

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    Blessed are they who have kept the word with a generous heart,
    and yield a harvest through perseverance.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Mk 6:14-29

    King Herod heard about Jesus, for his fame had become widespread,
    and people were saying,
    "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead;
    that is why mighty powers are at work in him."
    Others were saying, "He is Elijah";
    still others, "He is a prophet like any of the prophets."
    But when Herod learned of it, he said,
    "It is John whom I beheaded. He has been raised up."

    Herod was the one who had John arrested and bound in prison
    on account of Herodias,
    the wife of his brother Philip, whom he had married.
    John had said to Herod,
    "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
    Herodias harbored a grudge against him
    and wanted to kill him but was unable to do so.
    Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man,
    and kept him in custody.
    When he heard him speak he was very much perplexed,
    yet he liked to listen to him.
    Herodias had an opportunity one day when Herod, on his birthday,
    gave a banquet for his courtiers, his military officers,
    and the leading men of Galilee.
    His own daughter came in and performed a dance
    that delighted Herod and his guests.
    The king said to the girl,
    "Ask of me whatever you wish and I will grant it to you."
    He even swore many things to her,
    "I will grant you whatever you ask of me,
    even to half of my kingdom."
    She went out and said to her mother,
    "What shall I ask for?"
    Her mother replied, "The head of John the Baptist."
    The girl hurried back to the king's presence and made her request,
    "I want you to give me at once on a platter
    the head of John the Baptist."
    The king was deeply distressed,
    but because of his oaths and the guests
    he did not wish to break his word to her.
    So he promptly dispatched an executioner
    with orders to bring back his head.
    He went off and beheaded him in the prison.
    He brought in the head on a platter
    and gave it to the girl.
    The girl in turn gave it to her mother.
    When his disciples heard about it,
    they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.
