Liturgical Colour: Red. Year: A(II).

First reading: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31

‘God chose what is weak in the world.’

Consider your calling, brothers and sisters: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption; so that, as it is written, ‘Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.’

Responsorial Psalm: Ps 33(32):12-13. 18-19. 20-21. ℟12b

Blessed the people the Lord has chosen as his heritage.
Blessed the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he has chosen as his heritage.
From the heavens the Lord looks forth;
he sees the whole human race.
Blessed the people the Lord has chosen as his heritage.
Yes, the Lord’s eyes are on those who fear him,
who hope in his merciful love,
to rescue their soul from death,
to keep them alive in famine.
Blessed the people the Lord has chosen as his heritage.
Our soul is waiting for the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
In him do our hearts find joy.
We trust in his holy name.
Blessed the people the Lord has chosen as his heritage.

Gospel Acclamation: Matthew 5:10

Alleluia, alleluia.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Alleluia.

Gospel: Mark 6:17-29

‘I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.’

At that time: Herod had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because he had married her. For John had been saying to Herod, ‘It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.’ And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not, for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he heard him gladly.
  But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. For when Herodias’s daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl, ‘Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.’ And he vowed to her, ‘Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.’ And she went out and said to her mother, ‘For what should I ask?’ And she said, ‘The head of John the Baptist.’ And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, ‘I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.’ And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her. And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s head. He went and beheaded him in the prison and brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.

First reading: Jeremiah 1:4, 17-19

‘Say to them everything that I command you. Do not be dismayed by them.’

In those days: The word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘Dress yourself for work; arise, and say to them everything that I command you. Do not be dismayed by them, lest I dismay you before them. And I, behold, I make you this day a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land. They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you, declares the Lord, to deliver you.’

Responsorial Psalm: Ps 71(70):1-2. 3-4a. 5-6b. 15ab, 17. ℟ cf. 15ab

My mouth will tell of your salvation, O Lord.
In you, O Lord, I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
In your uprightness, rescue me, free me;
incline your ear to me and save me.
My mouth will tell of your salvation, O Lord.
Be my rock, my constant refuge,
a mighty stronghold to save me,
for you are my rock, my stronghold.
My God, free me from the hand of the wicked.
My mouth will tell of your salvation, O Lord.
It is you, O Lord, who are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
On you I have leaned from my birth;
from my mother’s womb, you have drawn me forth.
My mouth will tell of your salvation, O Lord.
My mouth will tell of your justice,
and all the day long of your salvation.
O God, you have taught me from my youth,
and I proclaim your wonders still.
My mouth will tell of your salvation, O Lord.

Gospel Acclamation: Matthew 5:10
