First Reading: Hebrews 10: 19-25
19 Having therefore, brethren, a confidence in the entering into the holies by the blood of Christ;
20 A new and living way which he hath dedicated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
21 And a high priest over the house of God:
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with clean water.
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering (for he is faithful that hath promised),
24 And let us consider one another, to provoke unto charity and to good works:
25 Not forsaking our assembly, as some are accustomed; but comforting one another, and so much the more as you see the day approaching.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 24: 1-2, 3-4ab, 5-6
R. (6) Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
1 The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.
R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?
4ab The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain.
R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.
R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
Alleluia: Psalms 119: 105

105 A lamp to my feet is your word, a light to my path.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel: Mark 4: 21-25
21 And he said to them: Doth a candle come in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest: neither was it made secret, but that it may come abroad.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24 And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you.
25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken away from him.
