First Reading

Second Timothy 1: 1-8


Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God

for the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

to Timothy, my dear child:

grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father

and Christ Jesus our Lord.

I am grateful to God,

whom I worship with a clear conscience as my ancestors did,

as I remember you constantly in my prayers, night and day.

I yearn to see you again, recalling your tears,

so that I may be filled with joy, 

as I recall your sincere faith

that first lived in your grandmother Lois

and in your mother Eunice

and that I am confident lives also in you.

For this reason, I remind you to stir into flame

the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands.

For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice

but rather of power and love and self-control.

So do not be ashamed of your testimony to our Lord,

nor of me, a prisoner for his sake;

but bear your share of hardship for the Gospel

with the strength that comes from God.


The Word of god

Thanks be to god

 


Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 96:1-2a, 2b-3, 7-8a, 10


Proclaim God’s marvelous deeds to all the nations.


Sing to the LORD a new song;

sing to the LORD, all you lands.

Sing to the LORD; bless his name.


Proclaim God’s marvelous deeds to all the nations.


Announce his salvation, day after day.

Tell his glory among the nations;

among all peoples, his wondrous deeds.


Proclaim God’s marvelous deeds to all the nations.


Give to the LORD, you families of nations,

give to the LORD glory and praise;

give to the LORD the glory due his name!


Proclaim God’s marvelous deeds to all the nations.


Say among the nations: The LORD is king.

He has made the world firm, not to be moved;

he governs the peoples with equity.


Proclaim God’s marvelous deeds to all the nations.

Gospel

Mark 3:22-30


The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said of Jesus, 

“He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and

“By the prince of demons he drives out demons.”

Summoning them, he began to speak to them in parables, 

“How can Satan drive out Satan?

If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

And if a house is divided against itself, 

that house will not be able to stand.

And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, 

he cannot stand; 

that is the end of him.

But no one can enter a strong man’s house to plunder his property 

unless he first ties up the strong man.

Then he can plunder his house. 

Amen, I say to you, all sins and all blasphemies 

that people utter will be forgiven them.

But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit 

will never have forgiveness, 

but is guilty of an everlasting sin.”

For they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.” 


The Gospel of the Lord

Praise you lord Jesus Christ
