Gospel: Mark 7:31-37
Again, Jesus set out: from the country of Tyre he passed through Sidon and, skirting the sea of Galilee, he came to the territory of Decapolis.
There, a deaf man, who also had difficulty in speaking, was brought to him. They asked Jesus to lay his hand upon him.
Jesus took him apart from the crowd, put his fingers into the man’s ears, and touched his tongue with spittle. Then, looking up to heaven,

Gospel: Mark 7:24-30
When Jesus left that place, he went to the border of the Tyrian country. There, he entered a house, and did not want anyone to know he was there;
but he could not remain hidden. A woman, whose small daughter had an evil spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet.
Now this woman was a pagan, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

Gospel: Mark 7:14-23
Jesus then called the people to him again and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and try to understand.
Nothing that enters a person from the outside can make that person unclean. It is what comes from within that makes a person unclean.
Let everyone who has ears listen.”

Gospel: Mark 7:1-13
One day, the Pharisees gathered around Jesus, and with them were some teachers of the law who had just come from Jerusalem.
They noticed that some of his disciples were eating their meal with unclean hands, that is, without washing them. Now the Pharisees,
and in fact all the Jews, never eat without washing their hands, for they follow the tradition received from their ancestors.

Gospel: Mark 6:53-56
Having crossed the lake, they came ashore at Gennesaret, where they tied up the boat. As soon as they landed, people recognized Jesus,
and ran to spread the news throughout the countryside. Wherever he was, they brought to him the sick lying on their mats; and wherever he went,
to villages, towns or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplace, and begged him to let them touch just the fringe of his cloak.
And all who touched him were cured.

Gospel: Matthew 5:13-16
You are the salt of the earth. But if salt has lost its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It has become useless.
It can only be thrown away and people will trample on it. You are the light of the world. A city built on a mountain cannot be hidden.
No one lights a lamp and covers it; instead, it is put on a lamp stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way,
your light must shine before others, so that they may see the good you do, and praise your Father in heaven.

Gospel: Mark 6:30-34
The apostles returned and reported to Jesus all they had done and taught. Then he said to them,
“Let us go off by ourselves into a remote place and have some rest.”
For there were so many people coming and going that the apostles had no time even to eat.
And they went away in the boat to a secluded area by themselves. But people saw them leaving,

Gospel: Mark 6:14-29
King Herod also heard about Jesus, because his name had become well-known. Some people said,
“John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
Others thought, “He is Elijah,” and others, “He is a prophet like the prophets of times past.”
When Herod was told of this, he thought, “I had John beheaded; yet, he has risen from the dead!”

Gospel: Mark 6:7-13
He called the Twelve to him, and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over evil spirits.
And he ordered them to take nothing for the journey, except a staff: no food, no bag, no money in their belts.
They were to wear sandals and were not to take an extra tunic. And he added, “In whatever house you are welcomed,
stay there until you leave the place. If any place doesn’t receive you, and the people refuse to listen to you,

Gospel: Mark 6:1-6
Leaving that place, Jesus returned to his own country, and his disciples followed him. When the Sabbath came,
he began to teach in the synagogue, and most of those who heard him were astonished.
But they said, “How did this come to him? What kind of wisdom has been given to him, that he also performs such miracles?
Who is he but the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? His sisters, too,

Gospel: Mark 5:21-43
Jesus then crossed to the other side of the lake; and while he was still on the shore, a large crowd gathered around him.
Jairus, an official of the synagogue, came up and, seeing Jesus, threw himself at his feet; and begged him earnestly,
“My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may get well and live.”
Jesus went with him, and many people followed, pressing around him.

Gospel: Mark 5:1-20
They arrived at the other side of the lake, in the region of the Ge rasenes.
No sooner did Jesus leave the boat than he was met by a man with evil spirits, who had come from the tombs.
The man lived among the tombs, and no one could re strain him, even with a chain.
He had often been bound with fetters and chains; but he would pull the chains apart and smash the fetters;
and no one had the strength to control him. Night and day he stayed among the tombs on the hillsides,

Gospel: Luke 2:22-40
When the day came for the purification according to the law of Moses, they brought the baby up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,
as it is written in the law of the Lord: Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to God. And they offered a sacrifice,
as ordered in the law of the Lord: a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.
There lived in Jerusalem, at this time, a very upright and devout man named Simeon; the Holy Spirit was in him.

On that same day, when evening had come, Jesus said to them, “Let’s go across to the other side of the lake.”
So they left the crowd, and took him along in the boat he had been sitting in, and other boats set out with him.
Then a storm gathered and it began to blow a gale. The waves spilled over into the boat, so that it was soon filled with water.
Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. They woke him up, and said, “Master, don’t you care if we drown?” And rising up,
Jesus rebuked the wind, and ordered the sea, “Quiet now! Be still!” The wind dropped, and there was a great calm.
