Reading 1 – James 1.19-27
So, then, my beloved brothers and sisters,
let every human be swift to hear,
slow to speak, and slow to anger;
for the anger of man does not produce
the righteousness of God.
Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing wickedness,
receive with humility the implanted word,
which is able to save your souls.
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers,
deluding your own selves.
For if anyone is a hearer of the word but not a doer,
they are like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
for he sees himself, and goes away,
and immediately forgets what sort he is.
But they who look into the perfect law of freedom,
and continue, not as a hearer who forgets, but as a doer of the work,
this one will be blessed in what they do.
If anyone among you thinks themself to be religious
while they do not bridle their tongue,
deceiving their heart,
this one’s religion is worthless.
Pure religion, undefiled before our God and Father, is this:
to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction,
and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Responsorial – Psalm 15.2-3a, 3bc-4ab, 5; Resp. 1b
R. Lord, who shall live on your holy hill?
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right,
and speaks truth in his heart;
and does not slander with his tongue,
R. Lord, who shall live on your holy hill?
He who does no evil to his friend,
nor casts slurs against his fellow human;
in whose eyes a vile man is despised,
but who honors those who fear the Lord.
R. Lord, who shall live on your holy hill?
He who does not lend out his money for usury,
nor take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be shaken.
R. Lord, who shall live on your holy hill?
Gospel – Mark 8.22-26
Jesus and his disciples came to Bethsaida.
They brought a blind man to him,
and begged him to touch him.
He took hold of the blind man by the hand
and brought him out of the village.
When he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him,
he asked him if he saw anything.
He looked up, and said,
“I see humans; that are as trees that I see walking.”
Again he laid his hands on his eyes.
He looked intently, and was restored,
and saw everyone clearly.
He sent him away to his house, saying,
“Do not enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”

Reading 1 – Revelation 3.1-6, 14-22
“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write:
“He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these things:
“I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which you were about to throw away,
for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God.
Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent.
If therefore you will not watch, I will come as a thief,
and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.
Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments.
They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments,
and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life,
and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God’s creation, says these things:
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;’
and do not know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments,
that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed;
and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.
As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.
He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne,
as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Gospel – Luke 19.1-10
Jesus entered Jericho to pass through.
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus,who was the chief tax collector, and he was rich.
And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was short.
So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him,
and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
And he made haste and came down and received him joyfully.
But when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He went to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.”
But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor,
and if I have taken anything from anyone falsely, I will give it back fourfold.
And Jesus said to him, “This day salvation has come to this house, for he also is a son of Abraham.”
For the Son of Human has come to seek and to save what was lost.

Reading 1 – Proverbs 3.27-34
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again; I will give it tomorrow”,
when you have it next to you.
Do not devise evil against your neighbor,
since he dwells securely by you.
Do not argue with a man without cause,
if he has done you no harm.
Do not envy the man of violence.
Choose none of his ways.
For the perverse is an abomination to the Lord,
but his friendship is with the upright.
The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
Surely he mocks the mockers,
but he gives grace to the humble.

Jesus said to the crowd:
“No one, when they have lit a lamp,
covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed,
instead they put it on a stand,
so that those who enter in may see the light.
For nothing is hidden, that will not be revealed,
nor secret, that will not be known and come to light.
Be careful therefore how you hear.
For whoever has, to them more will be given,
and whoever has not, even what they seem to have
will be taken away from them.”

Reading 1 – Deuteronomy 4.1-2, 6-8
Moses spoke to the people and said:
“Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances,
which I teach you to do; that you may live and go in
and possess the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, gives you.
You shall not add to the word which I command you,
nor shall you take away from it,
just keep the commandments of Lord your God which I command you.
Keep therefore and do them;
for this is your wisdom and your understanding
in the sight of the peoples,
who shall hear all these statutes, and say,
‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’
For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them,
as the Lord our God is to us whenever we call on him?
What great nation is there that has statutes and ordinances
as righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

Reading 2 – James 1.17-18, 21b-22, 27
Dearest brothers and sisters:
Every good gift and every perfect gift
is from above,
coming down from the Father of lights,
with whom can be no variation or shifting shadow.
Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth,
that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
Receive with humility the implanted word,
which is able to save your souls.
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
Pure religion, undefiled before our God and Father, is this:
to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction,
and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Gospel – Mark 7.1-8, 14-15, 21-23
Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes
gathered together around Jesus,
having come from Jerusalem.
When they saw some of his disciples
eating bread with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands,
they were offended.
For the Pharisees, and all the Jews,
do not eat unless they wash their hands and forearms,
holding to the tradition of the elders.
They do not eat when they come from the marketplace,
unless they bathe themselves,
and there are many other things,
which they have received that they hold to:
washing of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and beds.
The Pharisees and the scribes asked him,
“Why do your disciples not walk
according to the tradition of the elders,
but eat their bread with unclean hands?”
He answered them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites,
as it is written:
‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
In vain do they worship me,
teaching as doctrines the commandments of humans.'
“For you set aside the commandment of God,
and hold tightly to the tradition of humans."
Jesus called all the crowds to himself, and said to them,
“Hear me, all of you, and understand.
There is nothing from outside of the human,
that going into them can defile them;
but the things which proceed out of the human
are those that defile the human.
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
“From within, out of the hearts of humans,
proceed evil thoughts, unchastity,
murders, adulteries, thefts,
greed, wickedness, deceit,
lustful desires, and envious eyes,
blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
All these evil things come from within,
and defile the human.”
