Psalm

Psalms 67:1, 2

1God be merciful to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us.
2That Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations.

Gospel

Mark 4:35-41

35On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, Let us cross over to the other side.36Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him.37And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling.38But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?39Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still! And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.40But He said to them, Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?41And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!

Psalms 67:5-6

5Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You.6Then the earth shall yield her increase; God, our own God, shall bless us.

Gospel

Mark 1:40-44

40Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, If You are willing, You can make me clean.41Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, I am willing; be cleansed.42As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.43And He strictly warned him and sent him away at once,44and said to him, See that you say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.

Liturgy

Pauline

Romans 3:19-21

19Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.20Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.21But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,

Catholic

1 John 3:13-17

13Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you.14We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.15Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.16By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.17But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

Acts

Acts 5:27-29

27And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,28saying, Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man's blood on us!29But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: We ought to obey God rather than men.

Psalm

Psalms 54:1-2

1Save me, O God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your strength.2Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.

Gospel

John 8:51-55

51Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.52Then the Jews said to Him, Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, `If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.'53Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Whom do You make Yourself out to be?54Jesus answered, If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God.55Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, `I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word.
