Daily Readings - February 10, 2012 - Friday

First Reading: First Kings 11:29-32; 12:19
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 81:10-11, 12-13, 14-15
Holy Gospel: Mark 7:31-37


Holy Gospel:

31 Again Jesus set out; from the country of Tyre he passed through Sidon and skirting the sea of Galilee he came to the territory of Decapolis. 32 There a deaf man who also had difficulty in speaking was brought to him. They asked Jesus to lay his hand upon him.

33 Jesus took him apart from the crowd, put his fingers into the man’s ears and touched his tongue with spittle. 34 Then, looking up to heav­en, he groaned and said to him, “Eph­phetha,” that is, “Be open­ed.”

35 And his ears were opened, his tongue was loosened, and he began to speak clearly. 36 Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone, but the more he insisted on this, the more they proclaimed it. 37 The people were completely astonished and said, “He has done all things well; he makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.”


First Reading:

29 Once, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahi­jah of Shiloh found him on the road. The two of them were alone in the open country 30 when Ahijah, who had a new garment on, clutched and tore it into twelve pieces. 31 He then said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself for this is the word of Yahweh, the God of Israel:

‘I am about to tear the kingdom from Solomon’s hands 32 to give you ten tribes. Only one tribe shall be left to him for the sake of my servant David and Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.

12:19 So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to the present time.


Responsorial Psalm:

10 There shall be no strange god among you,
you shall not worship any alien god,

11 for I the Lord am your God,
who led you forth from the land of Egypt.

12 But my people did not listen;
Israel did not obey.

13 So I gave them over to their stubbornness
and they followed their own counsels.

14 If only my people would listen,
if only Israel would walk in my ways,

15 I would quickly subdue their adversaries
and turn my hand against their enemies.
