Psalm 50
Gospel: Mark 10: 28 - 31
Holy Gospel According to Saint Mark:
Peter spoke up and said, “We have given up everything to follow you.” Jesus answered, “Truly, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or children, or lands for my sake and for the Gospel, who will not receive his reward. I say to you: even in the midst of persecution he will receive a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and lands in the present time and in the world to come eternal life. Do pay attention: Many who now are first will be last, and the last, first.”
First Reading:
Keeping the Law is worth many offerings. Being faithful to the commandments is like a peace offering.
Returning kindness is an offering of fine flour; giving alms is a sacrifice of praise.
Renouncing sin pleases the Lord, and shunning injustice is a sacrifice of atonement.
Do not appear before the Lord with empty hands. The commandment requires that you bring an offering.
When the offering of the righteous is burned on the altar, the fat drips down and a fragrant aroma rises to the Most High.
The sacrifice of the just man pleases God and will not be forgotten. Honor the Lord with a generous heart and do not be stingy with the first fruits of your harvest.
Offer your gifts with a smiling face and when you pay your tithes do it gladly.
The Lord will not delay
Give to the Most High as he has given to you; give generously to the Lord according to what you have; the Lord will repay, he will reward you sevenfold.
If you attempt to bribe him with gifts he will not accept them; do not rely on offerings from dishonest gain.
The Lord is judge and shows no partiality.
Responsorial Psalm:
To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
