Let him show, by means of good conversation, his work in the meekness of wisdom. - 14 But if you hold a bitter zeal, and if there is contention in your hearts, then do not boast and do not be liars against the truth. - 15 For this is not wisdom, descending from above, but rather it is earthly, beastly, and diabolical. - 16 For wherever envy and contention is, there too is inconstancy and every depraved work. - 17 But within the wisdom that is from above, certainly, chastity is first, and next peacefulness, meekness, openness, consenting to what is good, a plenitude of mercy and good fruits, not judging, without falseness. - 18 And so the fruit of justice is sown in peace by those who make peace. Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of James 3](https://blessbible.app/bible/james/3/) ### Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 19:8, 9, 10, 15 Read in the CPDV: [Psalm 19 (18 in the Vulgate)](https://blessbible.app/bible/psalms/18/) ### Alleluia: 2 Timothy 1:10 Read in the CPDV: [2 Timothy 1](https://blessbible.app/bible/2-timothy/1/) ### Gospel: Mark 9:14-29 - 13 And approaching his disciples, he saw a great crowd surrounding them, and the scribes were arguing with them. - 14 And soon all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear, and hurrying to him, they greeted him. - 15 And he questioned them, “What are you arguing about among yourselves?” - 16 And one from the crowd responded by saying: “Teacher, I have brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit. - 17 And whenever it takes hold of him, it throws him down, and he foams and gnashes with his teeth, and he becomes unconscious. And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they could not.” - 18 And answering them, he said: “O unbelieving generation, how long must I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him to me.” - 19 And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit disturbed him. And having been thrown to the ground, he rolled around foaming. - 20 And he questioned his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” But he said: “From infancy. - 21 And often it casts him into fire or into water, in order to destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, help us and take pity on us.” - 22 But Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe: all things are possible to one who believes.” - 23 And immediately the father of the boy, crying out with tears, said: “I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief.” - 24 And when Jesus saw the crowd rushing together, he admonished the unclean spirit, saying to him, “Deaf and mute spirit, I command you, leave him; and do not enter into him anymore.” - 25 And crying out, and convulsing him greatly, he departed from him. And he became like one who is dead, so much so that many said, “He is dead.” - 26 But Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose. - 27 And when he had entered into the house, his disciples questioned him privately, “Why were we unable to cast him out?” - 28 And he said to them, “This kind is able to be expelled by nothing other than prayer and fasting.” Catholic Public Domain Version · in the CPDV this is Mark 9:13–28 Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Mark 9](https://blessbible.app/bible/mark/9/) 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. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
