Saint Justin, Martyr

Memorial — philosopher and apologist of the early Church

Saint Justin, Martyr — Mark 12:1-12

First Reading

2 Peter 1:2-7

2Grace to you and peace be accomplished in the knowledge of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord:

3As all things of his divine power which appertain to life and godliness, are given us, through the knowledge of him who hath called us by his own proper glory and virtue.

4By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world.

5And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue; and in virtue, knowledge;

6And in knowledge, abstinence; and in abstinence, patience; and in patience, godliness;

7And in godliness, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 91:1-2, 14-15b, 15c-16

1The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.

2He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.

14Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.

15He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.

16I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.

Gospel

Mark 12:1-12

1And he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it, and dug a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it to husbandmen; and went into a far country.

2And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive of the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Who having laid hands on him, beat him, and sent him away empty.

4And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and used him reproachfully.

5And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many others, of whom some they beat, and others they killed.

6Therefore having yet one son, most dear to him; he also sent him unto them last of all, saying: They will reverence my son.

7But the husbandmen said one to another: This is the heir; come let us kill him; and the inheritance shall be ours.

8And laying hold on him, they killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

9What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen; and will give the vineyard to others.

10And have you not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:

11By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes.

12And they sought to lay hands on him, but they feared the people. For they knew that he spoke this parable to them. And leaving him, they went their way.
