1 Kings 12:26-32; 13:33-34
12
26And Jeroboʹam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom will turn back to the house of David;
27if this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, to Rehoboʹam king of Judah, and they will kill me and return to Rehoboʹam king of Judah.”
28So the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold. And he said to the people, “You have gone up to Jerusalem long enough. Behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
29And he set one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
30And this thing became a sin, for the people went to the one at Bethel and to the other as far as Dan.
31He also made houses on high places, and appointed priests from among all the people, who were not of the Levites.
32And Jeroboʹam appointed a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month like the feast that was in Judah, and he offered sacrifices upon the altar; so he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made. And he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.
13
33After this thing Jeroboʹam did not turn from his evil way, but made priests for the high places again from among all the people; any who would, he consecrated to be priests of the high places.
34And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboʹam, so as to cut it off and to destroy it from the face of the earth.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 106:6-7, 19-22
6Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider thy wonderful works; they did not remember the abundance of thy steadfast love, but rebelled against the Most High at the Red Sea.
19They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a molten image.
20They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass.
21They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
22wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red Sea.
Gospel
Mark 8:1-10
1In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him, and said to them,
2“I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat;
3and if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come a long way.”
4And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these men with bread here in the desert?”
5And he asked them, “How many loaves have you?” They said, “Seven.”
6And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd.
7And they had a few small fish; and having blessed them, he commanded that these also should be set before them.
8And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.
9And there were about four thousand people.
10And he sent them away; and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the district of Dalmanuʹtha.

Isaiah 66:10-14
10“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice with her in joy, all you who mourn over her;
11that you may suck and be satisfied with her consoling breasts; that you may drink deeply with delight from the abundance of her glory.”
12For thus says the LORD: “Behold, I will extend prosperity to her like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream; and you shall suck, you shall be carried upon her hip, and dandled upon her knees.
13As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice; your bones shall flourish like the grass; and it shall be known that the hand of the LORD is with his servants, and his indignation is against his enemies.
Responsorial Psalm
Judith 13:18-19
18And Uzziʹah said to her, “O daughter, you are blessed by the Most High God above all women on earth; and blessed be the Lord God, who created the heavens and the earth, who has guided you to strike the head of the leader of our enemies.
19Your hope will never depart from the hearts of men, as they remember the power of God.
Gospel
John 2:1-11
1On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;
2Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples.
3When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
4And Jesus said to her, “O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come.”
5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
7Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
8He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast.” So they took it.
9When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom
10and said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first; and when men have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.”
11This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
