Today I have begotten you.” - 6 And similarly, he says in another place: “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” - 7 It is Christ who, in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offered prayers and supplications to the One who was able to save him from death, and who was heard because of his reverence. - 8 And although, certainly, he is the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things that he suffered. - 9 And having reached his consummation, he was made, for all who are obedient to him, the cause of eternal salvation, - 10 having been called by God to be the High Priest, according to the order of Melchizedek. Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Hebrews 5](https://blessbible.app/bible/hebrews/5/) ### Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 110:1, 2, 3, 4 Read in the CPDV: [Psalm 110 (109 in the Vulgate)](https://blessbible.app/bible/psalms/109/) ### Alleluia: Hebrews 4:12 Read in the CPDV: [Hebrews 4](https://blessbible.app/bible/hebrews/4/) ### Gospel: Mark 2:18-22 - 18 And the disciples of John, and the Pharisees, were fasting. And they arrived and said to him, “Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” - 19 And Jesus said to them: “How can the sons of the wedding fast while the groom is still with them? During whatever time they have the groom with them, they are not able to fast. - 20 But the days will arrive when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they shall fast, in those days. - 21 No one sews a patch of new cloth onto an old garment. Otherwise, the new addition pulls away from the old, and the tear becomes worse. - 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the wineskins, and the wine will pour out, and the wineskins will be lost. Instead, new wine must be put into new wineskins.” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Mark 2](https://blessbible.app/bible/mark/2/) 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. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
