The Gospel

The Holy Gospel is written in the fifteenth chapter of the

Gospel according to Saint Mark beginning at the 12th verse.

Glory be to thee, O Lord.

Jesus came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. On the

sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him

were astounded. They said, "Where did this man get all this? What is this

wisdom that has been given to him? What deeds of power are being done

by his hands! Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of

James and Joseph and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with

us?" And they took offence at him. Then Jesus said to them, "Prophets are

not without honour, except in their hometown, and among their own kin,

and in their own house." And he could do no deed of power there, except

that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them. And he was

amazed at their unbelief. Then he went about among the villages teaching.

He called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave

them authority over the unclean spirits. He ordered them to take nothing

for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts;

but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics. He said to them,

"Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place. If any

place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you, as you leave, shake

off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them." So they went

out and proclaimed that all should repent. They cast out many demons,

and anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them. (Mark 6:1-13)

The Gospel of Christ.

Praise be to thee, O Christ.

A Reading from the Second Letter of Paul to the Corinthians

I know a person in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the

third heaven - whether in the body or out of the body I do not know; God

knows. And I know that such a person - whether in the body or out of the

body I do not know; God knows was caught up into Paradise and heard

things that are not to be told, that no mortal is permitted to repeat. On

behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast,

except of my weaknesses. But if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I

will be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think

better of me than what is seen in me or heard from me, even considering

the exceptional character of the revelations. Therefore, to keep me from

being too elated, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to

torment me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I appealed to

the Lord about this, that it would leave me, but he said to me, "My grace is

sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." So, I will boast

all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may

dwell in me. Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships,

persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am

weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:2-10)

Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.

Thanks be to God.

A Reading From the Book of Ezekiel

He said to me: O mortal, stand up on your feet, and I will speak with you.

And when he spoke to me, a spirit entered into me and set me on my feet;

and I heard him speaking to me. He said to me, Mortal, I am sending you

to the people of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me;

they and their ancestors have transgressed against me to this very day. The

descendants are impudent and stubborn. I am sending you to them, and

you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God. ’Whether they hear or

refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house), they shall know that there

has been a prophet among them. (Ezekiel 2:1-5)

Hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

Thanks be to God.
