Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 106:6-7, 19-20, 21-22
Holy Gospel: Mark 8:1-10
Holy Gospel:
1 Soon afterwards Jesus was in the midst of another large crowd that obviously had nothing to eat. So he called his disciples and said to them, 2 “I feel sorry for these people because they have been with me for three days and now have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them to their homes hungry, they will faint on the way; some of them have come a long way.”
4 His disciples replied, “Where in a deserted place like this could we get enough bread to feed these people?” 5 He asked them, “How many loaves have you?” And they answered, “Seven.”
6 Then he ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Taking the seven loaves and giving thanks, he broke them and handed them to his disciples to distribute. And they distributed them among the people. 7 They also had some small fish, so Jesus said a blessing and asked that these be shared as well.
8 The people ate and were satisfied. The broken pieces were collected, seven wicker baskets full of leftovers. 9 Now there had been about four thousand people. Jesus sent them away 10 and immediately got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.
First Reading:
26 Jeroboam thought, “The kingdom could return to the house of David. 27 Should this people go up to offer sacrifices in Yahweh’s House in Jerusalem, their heart would turn again to their master, Rehoboam king of Judah. They would kill me and go back to him.”
28 And so the king sought advice and made two golden calves. Then he said to the people, “You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough. Here are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.” 29 He put one of these in Bethel, the other in Dan. 30 And so Jeroboam made the people sin; the people went as far as Dan to accompany one of them.
31 Jeroboam also built temples on high places, appointing priests who were not from the Levites. 32 Jeroboam also appointed a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in imitation of the feast in Judah, and he himself offered sacrifices on the altar. This he did in Bethel and sacrificed to the calves that he had made; there he placed priests for the high places he had made.
13.33 After this, however, Jeroboam did not abstain from doing evil. Instead he made priests for the high places from among the people; he consecrated anyone who wanted to be a priest for the high places. 34 And this became the sin of the family of Jeroboam for which it was to be cut off and destroyed from the face of the earth.
Responsorial Psalm:
6 We have sinned like our ancestors; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
7 When they were in Egypt, our ancestors had no regard for your wondrous deeds; they forgot the abundance of your love; they rebelled against the Most High by the Sea of Reeds.
19 They made a calf at Horeb and worshiped the molten image.
20 They exchanged the glory of God for the image of a bull that eats grass.
21 They forgot their Savior God, who had done great things in Egypt,
22 wonderful works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Sea of Reeds.
