Year II — optional: St. Norbert; Blessed Virgin Mary

Saturday of the Ninth Week in Ordinary Time — Mark 12:38-44

First Reading

2 Timothy 4:1-8

1I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom:

2Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.

3For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears:

4And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.

5But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy ministry. Be sober.

6For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand.

7I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.

8As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming. Make haste to come to me quickly.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 71:8-9, 14-15AB, 16-17, 22

8Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long.

9Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.

14But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise.

16I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.

17Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.

22For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel.

Gospel

Mark 12:38-44

38And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes, and to be saluted in the marketplace,

39And to sit in the first chairs, in the synagogues, and to have the highest places at suppers:

40Who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long prayer: these shall receive greater judgment.

41And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury, and many that were rich cast in much.

42And there came a certain poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.

43And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury.

44For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all she had, even her whole living.

The Gospel of the Lord.
