Saturday Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary
First Reading
Ephesians 1:15-23
15For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,
16I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,
18having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,
19and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power in us who believe, according to the working of his great might
20which he accomplished in Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
21far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come;
22and he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church,
23which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all in all.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 8:2-7
1O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is thy name in all the earth! Thou whose glory above the heavens is chanted
2by the mouth of babes and infants, thou hast founded a bulwark because of thy foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.
3When I look at thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast established;
4what is man that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that thou dost care for him?
5Yet thou hast made him little less than God, and dost crown him with glory and honor.
6Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet,
Gospel
Luke 12:8-12
8"And I tell you, every one who acknowledges me before men, the Son of man also will acknowledge before the angels of God;
9but he who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
10And every one who speaks a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you are to answer or what you are to say;
12for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say."
