Hebrews 10:19-25

19Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,
20by the new and living way which he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,
21and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
22let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
23Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful;
24and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
25not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 24:1-6

1The earth is the LORD’s and the fulness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein;
2for he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the rivers.
3Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place?
4He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false, and does not swear deceitfully.
5He will receive blessing from the LORD, and vindication from the God of his salvation.
6Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.   Selah

Gospel

Mark 4:21-25

21And he said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not on a stand?
22For there is nothing hid, except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret, except to come to light.
23If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24And he said to them, “Take heed what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you.
25For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”

Wisdom 7:7-10, 15-16

7Therefore I prayed, and understanding was given me; I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.
8I preferred her to scepters and thrones, and I accounted wealth as nothing in comparison with her.
9Neither did I liken to her any priceless gem, because all gold is but a little sand in her sight, and silver will be accounted as clay before her.
10I loved her more than health and beauty, and I chose to have her rather than light, because her radiance never ceases.
15May God grant that I speak with judgment and have thoughts worthy of what I have received, for he is the guide even of wisdom and the corrector of the wise.
16For both we and our words are in his hand, as are all understanding and skill in crafts.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 119:9-14

9How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to thy word.
10With my whole heart I seek thee; let me not wander from thy commandments!
11I have laid up thy word in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12Blessed be thou, O LORD; teach me thy statutes!
13With my lips I declare all the ordinances of thy mouth.
14In the way of thy testimonies I delight as much as in all riches.

Gospel

Matthew 23:8-12

8But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren.
9And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
10Neither be called masters, for you have one master, the Christ.
11He who is greatest among you shall be your servant;
12whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
