14th Week in Ordinary TimeIntroitReading IIPs 48 (47): 10-11Your merciful love, O God, we have received in the midst of your temple.Your praise, O God, like your name, reaches the ends of the earth; yourright hand is filled with saving justice.Gloria2 Cor 12:7-10Brothers and sisters: That I, Paul, might not become too elated,because of the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh wasgiven to me, an angel of Satan, to beat me, to keep me from being tooelated. Three times I begged the Lord about this, that it might leaveme, but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power ismade perfect in weakness.” I will rather boast most gladly of myweaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell withme. Therefore, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships,persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of Christ; for when I amweak, then I am strong.AlleluiaR. Alleluia, alleluia.Lk 4:18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,for he sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor.R. Alleluia, alleluia.GospelMk 6:1-6Jesus departed from there and came to his native place, accompaniedby his disciples. When the sabbath came he began to teach in thesynagogue, and many who heard him were astonished. They said,“Where did this man get all this? What kind of wisdom has beengiven him? What mighty deeds are wrought by his hands!Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James andJoses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?”And they took offense at him.Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in hisnative place and among his own kin and in his own house.” So hewas not able to perform any mighty deed there, apart from curing afew sick people by laying his hands on them. He was amazed at theirlack of faith.Reading IEz. 2:2-5As the LORD spoke to me, the spirit entered into meand set me on my feet,and I heard the one who was speaking say to me:Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites,rebels who have rebelled against me;they and their ancestors have revolted against me to this very day.Hard of face and obstinate of heartare they to whom I am sending you.But you shall say to them: Thus says the LORD GOD!And whether they heed or resist—for they are a rebellious house—they shall know that a prophet has been among them.Responsorial Psalm123:1-2, 2, 3-4R. (2cd) Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy.To you I lift up my eyeswho are enthroned in heaven —As the eyes of servantsare on the hands of their masters.R. Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy.As the eyes of a maidare on the hands of her mistress,So are our eyes on the LORD, our God,till he have pity on us.R. Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy.Have pity on us, O LORD, have pity on us,for we are more than sated with contempt;our souls are more than satedwith the mockery of the arrogant,with the contempt of the proud.R. Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy.

CredoI believe in one God,the Father almighty,maker of heaven and earth,of all things visible and invisible.I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,the Only Begotten Son of God,born of the Father before all ages.God from God, Light from Light,true God from true God,begotten, not made,consubstantial with the Father;through him all things were made.For us men and for our salvationhe came down from heaven,At the words that follow up to and including "and became man,"all bow.and by the Holy Spiritwas incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,he suffered death and was buried,and rose again on the third dayin accordance with the Scriptures.He ascended into heavenand is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again in gloryto judge the living and the deadand his kingdom will have no end.I believe in the Holy Spirit,the Lord, the giver of life,who proceeds from the Father and the Son,who with the Father and the Sonis adored and glorified,who has spoken through the prophets.I believe in one, holy,catholic and apostolic Church.I confess one baptismfor the forgiveness of sinsand I look forward to the resurrection of the deadand the life of the world to come.
