First Reading Hebrews 13:15-17, 20-21

15Therefore, through him, let us offer the sacrifice of continual praise to God, which is the fruit of lips confessing his name.
16But do not be willing to forget good works and fellowship. For God is deserving of such sacrifices.
17Obey your leaders and be subject to them. For they watch over you, as if to render an account of your souls. So then, may they do this with joy, and not with grief. Otherwise, it would not be as helpful to you.
Some verses are not read.
20Then may the God of peace, who led back from the dead that great Pastor of sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, with the blood of the eternal testament,
21equip you with all goodness, so that you may do his will. May he accomplish in you whatever is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory forever and ever. Amen.

Gospel Mark 6:30-34

30And the Apostles, returning to Jesus, reported to him everything that they had done and taught.
31And he said to them, “Go out alone, into a deserted place, and rest for a little while.” For there were so many who were coming and going, that they did not even have time to eat.
32And climbing into a boat, they went away to a deserted place alone.
33And they saw them going away, and many knew about it. And together they ran by foot from all the cities, and they arrived before them.
34And Jesus, going out, saw a great multitude. And he took pity on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

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.
