The Letter to the Hebrews 10: 19-25
10:19 | And so, brothers, have faith in the entrance into the Holy of Holies by the blood of Christ, |
10:20 | and in the new and living Way, which he has initiated for us by the veil, that is, by his flesh, |
10:21 | and in the Great Priest over the house of God. |
10:22 | So, let us draw near with a true heart, in the fullness of faith, having hearts cleansed from an evil conscience, and bodies absolved with clean water. |
10:23 | Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope, without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. |
10:24 | And let us be considerate of one another, so as to prompt ourselves to charity and to good works, |
10:25 | not deserting our assembly, as some are accustomed to do, but consoling one another, and even more so as you see that the day is approaching |
Gospel
The Holy Gospel According to 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.” |
