Daily Mass Readings – 21 May 2016 – Saturday

Ordinary Weekday/ optional memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary/ Christopher Magallanes, priest, & companions, martyrs
First Reading: James 5: 13-20

13 Is any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he cheerful in mind? Let him sing.

14 Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man: and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16 Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.

17 Elias was a man passible like unto us: and with prayer he prayed that it might not rain upon the earth, and it rained not for three years and six months.

18 And he prayed again: and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

19 My brethren, if any of you err from the truth, and one convert him:

20 He must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way, shall save his soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 141: 1-2, 3 and 8

1 I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.

2 Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.

3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.

8 But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.

Gospel: Mark 10: 13-16

13 And they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that brought them.

14 Whom when Jesus saw, he was much displeased, and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.

15 Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.

16 And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.
