Gloria – Creed
First Reading
Ezekiel 2:2-5
2And when he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me upon my feet; and I heard him speaking to me.
3And he said to me, "Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to a nation of rebels, who have rebelled against me; they and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day.
4The people also are impudent and stubborn: I send you to them; and you shall say to them, `Thus says the Lord GOD.'
5And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that there has been a prophet among them.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 123:1-4
1To thee I lift up my eyes, O thou who art enthroned in the heavens!
2Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he have mercy upon us.
3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.
4Too long our soul has been sated with the scorn of those who are at ease, the contempt of the proud.
Second Reading
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
7And to keep me from being too elated by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated.
8Three times I besought the Lord about this, that it should leave me;
9but he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
Gospel
Mark 6:1-6
1He went away from there and came to his own country; and his disciples followed him.
2And on the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; and many who heard him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get all this? What is the wisdom given to him? What mighty works are wrought by his hands!
3Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.
4And Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."
5And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands upon a few sick people and healed them.
6And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching.
