Second Reading 1 Corinthians 7:29-31

  • 29And so, this is what I say, brothers: The time is short. What remains of it is such that: those who have wives should be as if they had none;

  • 30and those who weep, as though they were not weeping; and those who rejoice, as if they were not rejoicing; and those who buy, as if they possessed nothing;

  • 31and those who use the things of this world, as if they were not using them. For the figure of this world is passing away.

Gospel Mark 1:14-20

  • 14Then, after John was handed over, Jesus went into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God,

  • 15and saying: “For the time has been fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the Gospel.”

  • 16And passing by the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew, casting nets into the sea, for they were fishermen.

  • 17And Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

  • 18And at once abandoning their nets, they followed him.

  • 19And continuing on a little ways from there, he saw James of Zebedee and his brother John, and they were mending their nets in a boat.

  • 20And immediately he called them. And leaving behind their father Zebedee in the boat with his hired hands, they followed him.

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.
