Tuesday of the First Week in Ordinary Time

Reading 1 - Hebrews 2.5-12

God did not subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.
But one has somewhere testified, saying,
“What is man, that you think of him?
Or the son of man, that you care for him?
You made him a little lower than the angels.
You crowned him with glory and honor.
You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”

For since he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him.
But now we do not see all things subjected to him, yet.
but we see him who has been made for a little while lower than the angels (Jesus),
crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death,
that by the grace of God he should taste death for everyone.

For it was fitting for him, for whom and through whom are all things,
in bringing many children to glory,
to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one.
For this reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers saying:
“I will declare your name to my brothers.
In the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”

Responsorial – Psalm 8.2ab+5, 6-7, 8-9 Resp. 7

R. You make your Son ruler over the works of your hands.

O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth,
What is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him?

R. You make your Son ruler over the works of your hands.

For you have made him a little lower than the gods,
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You make him ruler over the works of your hands.
You have put all things under his feet.

R. You make your Son ruler over the works of your hands.

All sheep and cattle,
yes, and the animals of the field,
The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,
and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

R. You make your Son ruler over the works of your hands.

Gospel – Mark 1.21-28

Jesus and his disciples went into Capernaum,
and immediately on the Sabbath
he entered the synagogue and taught.
They were astonished at his teaching,
for he taught them with authority,
and not as the scribes.
Immediately there was in their synagogue
a man with an unclean spirit,
and he cried out saying,
“What do you have to do with us , Jesus of Nazareth?
Have you come to destroy us?
I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!”
Jesus rebuked him, saying,
“Be quiet, and come out of him!”
The unclean spirit,
convulsing him and crying with a loud voice,
came out of him.
They were all amazed,
so that they asked one another, saying,
“What is this? A new teaching?
For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
The report of him went out immediately everywhere in all the region of Galilee.
