Hebrews 12:18-19, 21-24
18For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire, and darkness, and gloom, and a tempest,
19and the sound of a trumpet, and a voice whose words made the hearers entreat that no further messages be spoken to them.
21Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I tremble with fear.”
22But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering,
23and to the assembly of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to a judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks more graciously than the blood of Abel.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 48:2-4, 9-11
1Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the city of our God! His holy mountain,
2beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
3Within her citadels God has shown himself a sure defense.
8As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God, which God establishes for ever. Selah
9We have thought on thy steadfast love, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10As thy name, O God, so thy praise reaches to the ends of the earth. Thy right hand is filled with victory;
Gospel
Mark 6:7-13
7And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
8He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts;
9but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics.
10And he said to them, “Where you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place.
11And if any place will not receive you and they refuse to hear you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against them.”
12So they went out and preached that men should repent.
13And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.

Hosea 2:16, 17, 21-22
16“And in that day, says the LORD, you will call me, ‘My husband,’ and no longer will you call me, ‘My Baʹal.’
17For I will remove the names of the Baʹals from her mouth, and they shall be mentioned by name no more.
21“And in that day, says the LORD, I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth;
22and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel;
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 45:11-12, 14-17
10Hear, O daughter, consider, and incline your ear; forget your people and your father’s house;
11and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him;
13with all kinds of wealth. The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes;
14in many-colored robes she is led to the king, with her virgin companions, her escort, in her train.
15With joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king.
16Instead of your fathers shall be your sons; you will make them princes in all the earth.
Gospel
Luke 10:38-42
38Now as they went on their way, he entered a village; and a woman named Martha received him into her house.
39And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching.
40But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.”
41But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things;
42one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her.”
