Second Reading Ephesians 2:13-18
13But now, in Christ Jesus, you, who were in times past far away, have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14For he is our peace. He made the two into one, by dissolving the intermediate wall of separation, of opposition, by his flesh,
15emptying the law of commandments by decree, so that he might join these two, in himself, into one new man, making peace
16and reconciling both to God, in one body, through the cross, destroying this opposition in himself.
17And upon arriving, he evangelized peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near.
18For by him, we both have access, in the one Spirit, to the Father.

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.

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.
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.
