Reading 1 – Wisdom 2.12, 17-20
For the wicked said:
Let us lie in wait for the just man,
because he is not like us, and he is contrary to our actions,
and upbraids us for transgressions of the law,
and accuses us of the sins of our way of life.
Let us see then if his words be true,
and let us test what shall happen to him,
and we shall know what his end shall be.
For if he be the true son of God, he will defend him
and will deliver him from the hands of his enemies.
Let us examine him by outrages and tortures,
that we may know his meekness and try his patience.
Let us condemn him to a most shameful death:
For by his own words, there will be a regard for him.
Responsorial – Psalm 54.3-4, 5, 6+8 Resp. 6b
R. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
Save me, God, by your name.
Vindicate me in your might.
Hear my prayer, O God.
Listen to the words of my mouth.
R. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
For strangers have risen up against me.
Violent men have sought after my soul.
They have not set God before them.
R. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
Behold, God is my helper.
The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you.
I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good.
R. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
Reading 2 – James 3.16-4.3
Beloved:
Where jealousy and selfish ambition are,
there is confusion and every evil deed.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, listening,
full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
The fruit of righteousness is planted in peace, for those who make peace.
Where do the wars and battles among you come from?
Do they not come from your desires that make war among your own body parts?
You want and do not have.
You kill and envy but cannot obtain.
You fight and wage war.
You do not have, because you do not ask.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask incorrectly, to spend it for your desires.
Gospel – Mark 9.30-37
Jesus and his disciples went away from there and passed through Galilee.
He did not want anyone to know it.
For he was teaching his disciples and said to them,
“The Son of Human is being handed over into the hands of humans,
and they will kill him,
and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
They did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them,
“What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way
about who was the greatest.
He sat down, and called the Twelve; and he said to them,
“If anyone wants to be first, they shall be last of all, and servant of all.”
He took an infant and stood him in their midst.
Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
“Whoever receives one such infant in my name,
receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.”

Reading 1 – Wisdom 1.13-15; 2.23-24
Because God did not make death;
Nor does he delight when the living perish:
For he created all things that they might have being:
And saving are the creations of the world
and there is not in them a poison of destruction,
nor has the underworld dominion upon earth,
for justice is undying.
For God created the human as an immortal,
and in the image of his own likeness he made him.
However, by the envy of the devil, death came into the world,
and the ones who taste it are those being part of that one.
Responsorial – Psalm 30.2, 4, 5-6, 11-12, 13 Resp. 2a
R. I will extol you, the Lord, for you have raised me up.
I will extol you, the Lord, for you have raised me up,
and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol.
You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
R. I will extol you, the Lord, for you have raised me up.
Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of his.
Give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger is but for a moment.
His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may last all night,
but joy comes in the morning.
R. I will extol you, the Lord, for you have raised me up.
Hear, Lord, and have mercy on me.
Lord, be my helper.
You have turned my mourning into dancing.
Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
R. I will extol you, the Lord, for you have raised me up.
Reading 2 – 2 Corinthians 8.7, 9, 13-15
Brothers and sisters:
As you abound in everything,
in faith, utterance, knowledge,
all earnestness, and in your love to us,
see that you also abound in this grace.
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that, though he was rich,
yet for your sakes he became poor,
that you through his poverty might become rich.
For this is not that others may be eased
and you distressed, but for equality.
Your abundance at this present time
supplies their lack,
that their abundance also
may become a supply for your lack;
that there may be equality.
As it is written,
“Who had much did not have too much,
and who had little did not lack.”
Gospel – Mark 5.21-43
When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side,
a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came.
Seeing him, he fell at his feet, and begged him much, saying,
“My little daughter is at the point of death.
Please come and lay your hands on her,
that she may be made healthy, and live.”
He went with him, and a great multitude followed him.
A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,
and had suffered many things by many physicians,
and had spent all that she had, and was no better,
but rather grew worse,
having heard the things concerning Jesus,
came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.
For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.”
Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up,
and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
Immediately, Jesus, perceiving in himself
that the power had gone out from him,
turned around in the crowd, and asked,
“Who touched my clothes?”
His disciples said to him,
“You see the multitude pressing against you,
and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
But the woman, fearing and trembling,
knowing what had been done to her,
came and fell down before him,
and told him all the truth.
He said to her,
“Daughter, your faith has made you well.
Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”
While he was still speaking,
people came from the synagogue ruler’s house saying,
“Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore?”
But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken,
immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue,
“Do not be afraid, only believe.”
He allowed no one to follow him,
except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
He came to the synagogue ruler’s house,
and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
When he had entered in, he said to them,
“Why do you make an uproar and weep?
The child is not dead, but is asleep.”
They ridiculed him.
But he, having put them all out,
took the father of the child,
her mother, and those who were with him,
and went in where the child was lying.
Taking the child by the hand, he said to her,
“Talitha koum!”
which translated means “Girl, I tell you, get up!”
Immediately the girl rose up and walked;
she was twelve years old.
They were amazed with great amazement.
He strictly ordered them that no one should know this,
and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.

Reading 1 – Wisdom 2.1a, 12-22
For the wicked said among themselves,
though thinking not aright:
Let us lie in wait for the just man,
because he is not like us,
and he is contrary to our actions,
and upbraids us for transgressions of the law,
and accuses us of the sins of our way of life.
He boasts that he has the knowledge of God,
and calls himself the son of God.
He has become a censure of our thoughts.
He is grievous unto us, even to behold:
for his life is not like other men's,
and his ways are very different.
We are considered by him to be triflers,
and he abstains from our ways as from filthiness,
and he prefers the final end of the just,
and glories that he has God for his father.
Let us see then if his words be true,
and let us test what shall happen to him,
and we shall know what his end shall be.
For if he be the true son of God,
he will defend him and will deliver him
from the hands of his enemies.
Let us examine him by outrages and tortures,
that we may know his meekness
and try his patience.
Let us condemn him to a most shameful death:
For by his own words, there will be a regard for him.
These things they thought,
but they were deceived:
for their own malice blinded them.
And they knew not the secrets of God,
nor hoped for the wages of justice,
nor considered the honor of holy souls.

The just cried, and the Lord heard them,

R. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted,
and he will save the humble of spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
R. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.
He protects all of his bones.
Not one of them is broken.
The LORD redeems the soul of his servants.
None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
R. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.
Gospel – John 7.1-2, 10, 25-30
Jesus was walking in Galilee,
for he would not walk in Judea,
because the Jews sought to kill him.
Now the feast of the Jews,
the Feast of Tabernacles, was at hand.
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast,
then he also went up,
not publicly but as it were in secret.
Some of the Jerusalemites said,
“Is this not he whom they seek to kill?
Behold, he speaks openly,
and they say nothing to him.
Can it be that the rulers indeed know
that this is truly the Christ?
However we know where this man comes from,
but when the Christ comes,
no one will know where he comes from.”
Jesus therefore cried out in the temple,
teaching and saying,
“You both know me,
and know where I am from.
But I have not come of myself,
but he who sent me is true,
whom you do not know.
I know him, because I am from him,
and he sent me.”
They sought therefore to take him;
but no one laid a hand on him,
because his hour had not yet come.

Reading 1 - Wisdom 2:23-3:9
For God created the human as an immortal,
and in the image of his own likeness he made him.
However, by the envy of the devil, death came into the world,
and the ones who taste it are those being part of that one.
But the souls of the just are in the hand of God,
and no torment shall touch them.
They seemed, in the sight of the foolish, to die.
Their departure was reckoned an abuse,
and their going away from us, an affliction,
but they are at peace.
And though in the sight of humans they suffered torments,
their hope is full of immortality.
In a few ways, afflicted;
in many ways, well-rewarded,
because God has tried them,
and found them worthy of himself.
As gold in the furnace he has proved them,
and as a sacrificial victim he has received them.
They will shine in their time, they will be respected.
They will fly to and fro like sparks in the weeds.
They shall judge nations and rule over people,
and their Lord shall reign forever.
Those who trust in him, shall understand the truth,
and the faithful in love shall rest in him,
since grace and peace are given to his elect.

when he comes in from the field, says to him, “Come here right now and sit down”?
Do you not say to him, “Prepare the meal, and put on your apron,
and serve me, while I eat and drink and afterward you may eat and drink”?
And you do not thank the slave because he did what you commanded, do you?
So you also, when you have done all that you are commanded, say,
“We are unprofitable slaves; what we have done, we were obligated to do.”
