Reading 1 - 1 Kings 8.1-7, 9-13
The elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes,
the princes of the ancestral households
of the children of Israel,
were assembled with King Solomon in Jerusalem,
to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord
out of the city of David, which is Zion.
All the men of Israel assembled themselves to King Solomon
at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
All the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
They brought up the Ark of the Lord, and the Tent of Meeting,
and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent.
The priests and the Levites brought these up.
King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel,
who were assembled with him before the ark,
sacrificed sheep and cattle,
that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
The priests brought in the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord
to its place, to the most holy place,
under the wings of the cherubim.
For the cherubim spread their wings out
over the place of the Ark,
and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles from above.
There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets
which Moses put there at Horeb,
when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel,
when they came out of the land of Egypt.
It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place,
that a cloud filled the Lord’s house,
so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud;
for the Lord’s glory filled the Lord’s house.
Then Solomon said,
“The Lord has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
I have surely built you a house of habitation,
a place for you to dwell in forever.”
Responsorial – Psalm 132.6-7, 8-10 R. 8a
R. Arise, the Lord, go to your resting place.
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah.
We found it in the field of Jaar:
“We will go into his dwelling place.
We will worship at his footstool.
R. Arise, the Lord, go to your resting place.
Arise, the Lord, into your resting place;
you, and the ark of your strength.
Let your priest be clothed with righteousness.
Let your saints shout for joy!”
For the sake of your servant David,
do not turn away the face of your anointed one.
R. Arise, the Lord, go to your resting place.
Gospel – Mark 6.53-56
When they had crossed over,
Jesus and his disciples came to land at Gennesaret,
and moored to the shore.
When they had come out of the boat,
the people immediately recognized him,
and ran around that whole region,
and began to bring those who were sick, on their mats,
to where they heard he was.
Wherever he entered,
into villages, or into cities, or into the country,
they laid the sick in the marketplaces,
and begged him that
they might touch just the fringe of his garment;
and as many as touched him were made well.

So did Nathan speak to David.
Then David the king went in, and sat before the Lord, and he said,
“Who am I, Lord God, and what is my house,
that you have brought me thus far?
But this was still a small thing in your eyes, Lord God,
for you have spoken also of your servant's house for a great while to come,
and this is a teaching for mankind, Lord God!
You have established for yourself your people Israel
to be a people to you forever,
and you, O Lord, became their God.
Now, Lord God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant,
and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.
Let your name be magnified forever, saying,
‘The Lord of hosts is God over Israel’,
and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.
For you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying,
‘I will build you a house.’
Therefore your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
Now, O Lord God, you are God, and your words are truth,
and you have promised this good thing to your servant,
now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant,
that it may continue forever before you,
for you, Lord God, have spoken it,
and with your blessing let the house of your servant be blessed forever.”

nor is anything made secret, but that it should come to light.
If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”
He said to them, “Take heed what you do hear.
For whatever measure you measure, will be measured out to you,
and more will be given to you.
For whoever has, to them will more be given,

When the mortal has put on immortality,
then what is written will happen:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.

But thanks be to God,

Reading 1 – 2 Kings 11.1-4, 9-18, 20
When Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah,
saw that her son was dead,
she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring.
But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram,
sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah,
and stole him away from among
the king’s sons who were slain,
even him and his nurse,
and put them in the bedroom;
and they hid him from Athaliah,
so that he was not slain;
He was hidden with her
in the Lord’s house for six years.
Athaliah reigned over the land.
In the seventh year,
Jehoiada sent and fetched
the captains of the Carites
and of the guard,
and brought them to him
into the Lord’s house;
and he made a covenant with them,
and took an oath of them in the Lord’s house,
and showed them the king’s son.
The captains did according to all
that Jehoiada the priest commanded;
and they took every man his men,
those who were to come in on the Sabbath,
with those who were to go out on the Sabbath,
and came to Jehoiada the priest.
The priest delivered to the captains
the spears and shields that had been King David’s,
which were in the Lord’s house.
The guard stood,
every man with his weapons in his hand,
from the right side of the house
to the left side of the house,
along by the altar and the house,
around the king.
Then he brought out the king’s son,
and put the crown on him,
and gave him the testimony;
and they made him king,
and anointed him;
and they clapped their hands,
and said, “Long live the king!”
When Athaliah heard the noise
of the guard and of the people,
she came to the people into the Lord’s house:
and she looked, and behold,
the king stood by the pillar,
as the tradition was,
and the captains and the trumpets by the king;
and all the people of the land
rejoiced and blew trumpets.
Then Athaliah tore her clothes
and cried, “Treason! Treason!”
Jehoiada the priest commanded
the captains who were set over the army,
and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks.
Kill him who follows her with the sword.”
For the priest said,
“Do not let her be slain in the Lord’s house.”
So they made way for her;
and she went by the way of the horse gate
to the king’s house.
She was slain there.
Jehoiada made a covenant
between the Lord and the king and the people,
that they should be the Lord’s people;
between the king also and the people.
All the people of the land
went to the house of Baal and broke it down;
his altars and his images
they smashed in pieces thoroughly,
and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
The priest appointed officers over the Lord’s house.
So all the people of the land rejoiced,
and the city was quiet.
Athaliah they had slain with the sword
at the king’s house.

Gospel – Matthew 6.19-23
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Do not lay up treasures
for yourselves on the earth,
where moth and rust consume,
and where thieves
break through and steal;
but lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust consume,
and where thieves do not
break through and steal;
for where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also.
The lamp of the body is the eye.
If therefore your eye is sound,
your whole body will be full of light.
But if your eye is evil,
your whole body will be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in you is darkness,
how great is the darkness!”
