Weekday

First Reading

Hebrews 10:32-39

32But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings,

33sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.

34For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.

35Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

36For you have need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and receive what is promised.

37“For yet a little while, and the coming one shall come and shall not tarry;

38but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”

39But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 37:3-6, 23-24, 39-40

3Trust in the LORD, and do good; so you will dwell in the land, and enjoy security.

4Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.

6He will bring forth your vindication as the light, and your right as the noonday.

23The steps of a man are from the LORD, and he establishes him in whose way he delights;

24though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD is the stay of his hand.

39The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their refuge in the time of trouble.

40The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked, and saves them, because they take refuge in him.

Gospel

Mark 4:26-34

26And he said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed upon the ground,

27and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he knows not how.

28The earth produces of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

29But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it?

31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth;

32yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”

33With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it;

34he did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
