Official Translation
Reading 1 – Hebrews 2.14-18
Since the children have shared in flesh and blood,
Jesus himself in the same way partook of the same,
that through death he might bring to nothing
him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil,
and might deliver all of those
who through fear of death
were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
For most certainly, he does not give help to angels,
but he does give help to the seed of Abraham.
Therefore he was obligated in all things
to be made like his brothers and sisters,
that he might become a merciful and faithful
high priest before God,
to make atonement for the sins of the people.
Since he himself was tested by suffering,
he is able to help those who are tested.
Responsorial – Psalm 105.1-2, 3-4, 6-7, 8-9 Resp. 8a
R. The Lord has remembered his covenant forever. or R. Alleluia!
Give thanks to the Lord! Call on his name!
Make his acts known among the nations.
Sing to him, sing praises to him!
Tell of all his marvelous works.
R. The Lord has remembered his covenant forever. or R. Alleluia!
Glory in his holy name.
Rejoice, O hearts of those who seek the Lord.
Seek the Lord and his strength.
Seek his face forevermore.
R. The Lord has remembered his covenant forever. or R. Alleluia!
You seed of Abraham, his servant,
You children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
He is the Lord, our God.
His judgments are in all the earth.
R. The Lord has remembered his covenant forever. or R. Alleluia!
He has remembered his covenant forever,
the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
The covenant which he made with Abraham;
his oath to Isaac.
R. The Lord has remembered his covenant forever. or R. Alleluia!
Gospel - Mark 1:29-39
Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue,
they entered the house of Simon and Andrew,
with James and John.
Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever,
and immediately they told him about her.
He came and took her by the hand, and raised her up.
The fever left her, and she served them.
At evening, when the sun had set,
they brought to him all who were sick
and those who were possessed by demons.
All the city was gathered together at the door.
He healed many who were sick with various diseases
and cast out many demons.
He did not allow the demons to speak,
since they knew him.
Early in the morning, while it was still dark,
he rose up and went out
and left for a deserted place and prayed there.
Simon and those who were with him
followed after him, and they found him,
and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
He said to them, “Let us go elsewhere
to the next towns, that I may preach there also,
because I came out for this reason.”
He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee,
preaching and casting out demons.
