Year of Saint Joseph
Blessed Virgin Mary
Readings of the Day
RB: Ch 3:1-6 Summoning the Brothers for Counsel
Mass: Got 4:12-16; Resp Ps 19; Mk 2:13-17
Your words, Lord, are spirit and life.
HAIL, HOLY MOTHER, WHO GAVE BIRTH TO THE KING WHO RULES HEAVEN AND EARTH FOR EVER.
(Entrance Antiphon, Mass)
There are some things I am thankful for now that we are back in Ordinary Time. One is Saturdays dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Another is the Collect used for today's Mass, a fitting one for a day dedicated to Mary, and when Jesus says: Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners (Mk 2:17).
Grant, Lord God, that we, your servants,
may rejoice in unfailing health of mind and body,
and, through the glorious intercession of Blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
may we be set free from present sorrow
and come to enjoy eternal happiness.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity
of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
(Collect, Mass)
MARY, HEALTH OF THE SICK,
PRAY FOR US.
JOSEPH, HOPE OF THE SICK,
PRAY FOR US.
