Total Consecration – Day 2
First Reading
Genesis 11:1-9
1Now the whole earth had one language and few words.
2And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar.
4Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built.
6And the LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
7Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
8So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
9Therefore its name was called Ba'bel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 33:10-15
10The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nought; he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
13The LORD looks down from heaven, he sees all the sons of men;
14from where he sits enthroned he looks forth on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15he who fashions the hearts of them all, and observes all their deeds.
Gospel
Mark 8:34--9:1
8
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."
9
1And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power."
