First Reading
Hebrews 8:6-13
6But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry which is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.
7For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second.
8For he finds fault with them when he says: "The days will come, says the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israeland with the house of Judah;
9not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the handto lead them out of the land of Egypt;for they did not continue in my covenant, and so I paid no heed to them, says the Lord.
10This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord:I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
11And they shall not teach every one his fellowor every one his brother, saying, `Know the Lord, 'for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
12For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more."
13In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 85:8, 10-14
7Show us thy steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
9Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other.
11Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky.
12Yea, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
13Righteousness will go before him, and make his footsteps a way.
Gospel
Mark 3:13-19
13And he went up on the mountain, and called to him those whom he desired; and they came to him.
14And he appointed twelve, to be with him, and to be sent out to preach
15and have authority to cast out demons:
16Simon whom he surnamed Peter;
17James the son of Zeb'edee and John the brother of James, whom he surnamed Bo-aner'ges, that is, sons of thunder;
18Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean,
19and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. Then he went home;
