But if he were to draw himself back, he would not please my soul.” - 39 So then, we are not sons who are drawn away to perdition, but we are sons of faith toward the securing of the soul. Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Hebrews 10](https://blessbible.app/bible/hebrews/10/) ### Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 37:3-4, 5-6, 23-24, 39-40 Read in the CPDV: [Psalm 37 (36 in the Vulgate)](https://blessbible.app/bible/psalms/36/) ### Alleluia: See Matthew 11:25 Read in the CPDV: [Matthew 11](https://blessbible.app/bible/matthew/11/) ### Gospel: Mark 4:26-34 - 26 And he said: “The kingdom of God is like this: it is as if a man were to cast seed on the land. - 27 And he sleeps and he arises, night and day. And the seed germinates and grows, though he does not know it. - 28 For the earth bears fruit readily: first the plant, then the ear, next the full grain in the ear. - 29 And when the fruit has been produced, immediately he sends out the sickle, because the harvest has arrived.” - 30 And he said: “To what should we compare the kingdom of God? Or to what parable should we compare it? - 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed which, when it has been sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds which are in the earth. - 32 And when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all the plants, and it produces great branches, so much so that the birds of the air are able to live under its shadow.” - 33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as much as they were able to hear. - 34 But he did not speak to them without a parable. Yet separately, he explained all things to his disciples.

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?
