St. Paul VI, Pope (Optional Memorial)

First Reading

1 Peter 4:7-13

7The end of all things is at hand; therefore keep sane and sober for your prayers.

8Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.

9Practice hospitality ungrudgingly to one another.

10As each has received a gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace:

11whoever speaks, as one who utters oracles of God; whoever renders service, as one who renders it by the strength which God supplies; in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

12Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to prove you, as though something strange were happening to you.

13But rejoice in so far as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 96:10-13

10Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns! Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.”

11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it;

12let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy

13before the LORD, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth.

Gospel

Mark 11:11-26

11And he entered Jerusalem, and went into the temple; and when he had looked round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

12On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry.

13And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

14And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.

15And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons;

16and he would not allow any one to carry anything through the temple.

17And he taught, and said to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.”

18And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and sought a way to destroy him; for they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

19And when evening came they went out of the city.

20As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.

21And Peter remembered and said to him, “Master, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered.”

22And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.

23Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.

24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you receive it, and you will.

25And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against any one; so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”
