Weekday
First Reading
James 1:19-27
19Know this, my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
20for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.
21Therefore put away all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
23For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who observes his natural face in a mirror;
24for he observes himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.
25But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer that forgets but a doer that acts, he shall be blessed in his doing.
26If any one thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man's religion is vain.
27Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 15:2-5
2He who walks blamelessly, and does what is right, and speaks truth from his heart;
3who does not slander with his tongue, and does no evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor;
4in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
5who does not put out his money at interest, and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
Gospel
Mark 8:22-26
22And they came to Beth-sa'ida. And some people brought to him a blind man, and begged him to touch him.
23And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, "Do you see anything?"
24And he looked up and said, "I see men; but they look like trees, walking."
25Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and saw everything clearly.
26And he sent him away to his home, saying, "Do not even enter the village."
