Readings of the Day
RB: Ch 5:14-19
Mass: Heb 7:1-3, 15-17; Resp Ps 110; Mk 3:1-6
Yours is princely power in the day of your birth, in holy splendor; before the daystar, like the dew, I have begotten you.
The last two days the Pharisees have been keeping a close eye on Jesus, questioning him: 'Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?'; 'Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?' Today, Jesus silences them with a question: 'Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?' Jesus looked at them; he was angry and grieved at their hardness of heart. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, heal us of our hardness of heart; help us to save life rather than to destroy it.
Stretch out your hand.
He stretched it out and his hand was restored.
ST MARIANNE COPE, ST VINCENT, PRAY FOR US.
I am leaving for the World Youth Day in Panama. I ask you to pray for this very beautiful and important event on the path of the Church.
