Entrance Antiphon Cf. Ps 48:10-11
Your merciful love, O God, we have received
in the midst of your temple. Your praise, O God, like your name, reaches the
ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with saving justice.
Collect
God, who in the abasement of your Son have
raised up a fallen world, fill your faithful with holy joy, for on those you
have rescued from slavery to sin you bestow eternal gladness.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who
lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever
and ever.
FIRST READING Ezekiel
2:2-5
“They
are a rebellious house; they will know that there has been a prophet among
them.”
In those days: The Spirit entered into me
and set me upon my feet; and I heard him speaking to me. And he said to me, “Son
of man, I send you to the sons of Israel, to a nation of rebels, who have
rebelled against me; they and their fathers have transgressed against me to
this very day. The people also are impudent and stubborn: send you to them; and
you shall say to them,
Thus says the Lord God,’
And whether they hear or refuse to hear
(for they are a rebellious house)
They will know that there has been a
prophet among them.
The
word of the Lord
RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm
123:1-2ab.2cdef.3-4 (R. cf. 2ef)
R.
Our eyes look to the Lord, till he have mercy upon us.
To you have I lifted up my eyes,
you who dwell in the heavens.
Behold, like the eyes of slaves
on the hand of their lords. R.
Like the eyes of a servant
on the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes are on the Lord our God,
till he show us his mercy. R.
Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy.
We are filled with contempt.
Indeed, all too full is our soul
with the scorn of the arrogant,
the disdain of the proud. R.
SECOND READING 2
Corinthians 12:7-10
“I will
boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
A
reading from the second Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians
Brethren: To keep me from being too elated
by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger
of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I begged
the Lord about this, that it should leave; but he said
to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in
weakness.” I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of
Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with
weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am
weak, then I am strong.
The word of the Lord.
ALLELUIA Cf. Luke 4:18
R. Alleluia. R. Alleluia.
V. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; he
has sent me to preach good news to the poor.
R. Alleluia.
GOSPEL Mark 6:1-6
A
prophet is not without honour, except in his own country. ”
Jesus
came
to his own country; and his disciples followed him. And on the sabbath he began
to teach in the synagogue; and many who heard him were astonished, saying,
“Where did this man get all this? What is the wisdom given to him? What mighty
works are wrought by his hands! Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and
brother
of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?”
And they took offence at him. And Jesus
said to them, “A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and
among his own kin, and in his own house.” And he could do no mighty work there,
except that he laid his hands upon a few sick people and healed them. And he
marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages
teaching.

Gospel of the Lord.
