Weekday

First Reading

James 2:14-24, 26

14What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?

15If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food,

16and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit?

17So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

18But some one will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith.

19You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder.

20Do you want to be shown, you foolish fellow, that faith apart from works is barren?

21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar?

22You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works,

23and the scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness”; and he was called the friend of God.

24You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

26For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 112:1-6

1Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments!

2His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3Wealth and riches are in his house; and his righteousness endures for ever.

4Light rises in the darkness for the upright; the LORD is gracious, merciful, and righteous.

5It is well with the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice.

6For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered for ever.

Gospel

Mark 8:34--9:1

34And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

35For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.

36For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?

37For what can a man give in return for his life?

38For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

1And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power.”
