FIRST
READING James 4:13-17
“What is your life? You ought to say, ‘If
the Lord wills”’
Beloved: Come now, you who say, “Today or
tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade
and get gain”; whereas you do not know about tomorrow. What is your life? For
you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you
ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and we shall do this or that.” As
it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. Whoever knows
what is right to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
The
word of the Lord.
RESPONSORIAL
PSALM Psalm 49:2-3, 6-7, 8-10, 11 (R. Matthew 5:3)
R. Blessed are the
poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Hear this, all you peoples,
give ear, all who dwell in the world,
people both high and low,
rich and poor alike! R
Why should I fear in evil days
the malice of the foes who surround me,
those who trust in their wealth,
and boast of the vastness of their riches.
R
No man can ransom a brother,
nor pay a price to God for his life.
How high is the price of his soul!
The ransom can never be enough!
No one can buy life unending,
nor avoid coming to the grave. R
Anyone sees that the wise will die;
the foolish will perish with the senseless,
and leave their wealth to others
ALLELUIA :
John 14:6
V. Alleluia. R. Alleluia.
y. I am the way, and
the truth, and the life, says the Lord; no one comes to the Father, but by me.
R. Alleluia.
GOSPEL Mark 9:38-40
“He that is not against us is for us.”
At that time:
John said to Jesus,
“Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons
in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us.” But Jesus
said, “Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be
able soon after to speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is for us.” The Gospel of the Lord
