First Reading

Hebrews 9:2-3, 11-14

2For there was a tabernacle made the first, wherein were the candlesticks, and the table, and the setting forth of loaves, which is called the holy. 3And after the second veil, the tabernacle, which is called the holy of holies:

11But Christ, being come an high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, that is, not of this creation: 12Neither by the blood of goats, or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption. 13For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh: 14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God?

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 47:2-3, 6-7, 8-9

7Sing praises to our God, sing ye: sing praises to our king, sing ye.

8For God is the king of all the earth: sing ye wisely.

9God shall reign over the nations: God sitteth on his holy throne.

Gospel

Mark 3:20-21

20And they come to a house, and the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. 21And when his friends had heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him. For they said: He is become mad.
