Titus 1: 1- 5

1:1 Paul, a servant of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in accord with the faith of God’s elect and in acknowledgment of the truth which is accompanied by piety,
1:2 in the hope of the eternal life that God, who does not lie, promised before the ages of time,
1:3 which, at the proper time, he has manifested by his Word, in the preaching that has been entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior;
1:4 to Titus, beloved son according to the common faith. Grace and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Savior.
1:5 For this reason, I left you behind in Crete: so that those things which are lacking, you would correct, and so that you would ordain, throughout the communities, priests, (just as I also ordained you)

Mark 4: 21- 25

4:21 And he said to them: “Would someone enter with a lamp in order to place it under a basket or under a bed? Would it not be placed upon a lampstand?
4:22 For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. Neither was anything done in secret, except that it may be made public.
4:23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
4:24 And he said to them: “Consider what you hear. With whatever measure you have measured out, it shall be measured back to you, and more shall be added to you.
4:25 For whoever has, to him it shall be given. And whoever has not, from him even what he has shall be taken away.”
