Responsorial Psalm Psalm 18:2-3, 3-4, 47, 51
Read in the CPDV: Psalm 18 (17 in the Vulgate)
Second Reading Hebrews 7:23-28
23And certainly, so many of the others became priests because, due to death, they were prohibited from continuing.
24But this man, because he continues forever, has an everlasting priesthood.
25And for this reason, he is able, continuously, to save those who approach God through him, since he is ever alive to make intercession on our behalf.
26For it was fitting that we should have such a High Priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted higher than the heavens.
27And he has no need, daily, in the manner of other priests, to offer sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for those of the people. For he has done this once, by offering himself.
28For the law appoints men as priests, though they have infirmities. But, by the word of the oath that is after the law, the Son has been perfected for eternity.

Gospel Mark 12:28b-34
28And one of the scribes, who had heard them arguing, drew near to him. And seeing that he had answered them well, he questioned him as to which was the first commandment of all.
29And Jesus answered him: “For the first commandment of all is this: ‘Listen, O Israel. The Lord your God is one God.
30And you shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart, and from your whole soul, and from your whole mind, and from your whole strength. This is the first commandment.’
31But the second is similar to it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
32And the scribe said to him: Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth that there is one God, and there is no other beside him;
33and that he should be loved from the whole heart, and from the whole understanding, and from the whole soul, and from the whole strength. And to love one’s neighbor as one’s self is greater than all holocausts and sacrifices.”
34And Jesus, seeing that he had responded wisely, said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And after that, no one dared to question him.

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.
