First Reading Hebrews 3:7-14

7Because of this, it is just as the Holy Spirit says: “If today you hear his voice,
8harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, the very day of temptation, in the desert,
9where your fathers tested me, even though they had seen and examined my works for forty years.
10For this reason, I was enraged against this generation, and I said: They always wander astray in heart. For they have not known my ways.
11So it is as I swore in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest!”
12Be cautious, brothers, lest perhaps there may be, in any of you, an evil heart of unbelief, turning aside from the living God.
13Instead, exhort one another every day, while it is still called ‘today,’ so that none of you may become hardened through the falseness of sin.
14For we have been made participants in Christ. This is only so, if we firmly retain the beginning of his substance, even unto the end.

Gospel Mark 1:40-45

40And a leper came to him, begging him. And kneeling down, he said to him, “If you are willing, you are able to cleanse me.”
41Then Jesus, taking pity on him, reached out his hand. And touching him, he said to him: “I am willing. Be cleansed.”
42And after he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43And he admonished him, and he promptly sent him away.
44And he said to him: “See to it that you tell no one. But go and show yourself to the high priest, and offer for your cleansing that which Moses instructed, as a testimony for them.”
45But having departed, he began to preach and to disseminate the word, so that he was no longer able to openly enter a city, but had to remain outside, in deserted places. And they were gathered to him from every direction.

Citations as published in the USCCB liturgical calendar.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
