First Reading 1 Peter 5:5b-14

5Similarly, young persons, be subject to the elders. And infuse all humility among one another, for God resists the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace.
6And so, be humbled under the powerful hand of God, so that he may exalt you in the time of visitation.
7Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you.
8Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour.
9Resist him by being strong in faith, being aware that the same passions afflict those who are your brothers in the world.
10But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself perfect, confirm, and establish us, after a brief time of suffering.
11To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
12I have written briefly, through Sylvanus, whom I consider to be a faithful brother to you, begging and testifying that this is the true grace of God, in which you have been established.
13The Church which is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you, as does my son, Mark.
14Greet one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Gospel Mark 16:15-20

15And he said to them: “Go forth to the whole world and preach the Gospel to every creature.
16Whoever will have believed and been baptized will be saved. Yet truly, whoever will not have believed will be condemned.
17Now these signs will accompany those who believe. In my name, they shall cast out demons. They will speak in new languages.
18They will take up serpents, and, if they drink anything deadly, it will not harm them. They shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they will be well.”
19And indeed, the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and he sits at the right hand of God.
20Then they, setting out, preached everywhere, with the Lord cooperating and confirming the word by the accompanying signs.

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.
