Mark 4:35-41

​On that day, as evening drew on, Jesus said to his disciples:
“Let us cross to the other side.”
Leaving the crowd, they took Jesus with them in the boat just as he was.
And other boats were with him.
A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat,
   so that it was already filling up.
Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion.
They woke him and said to him,
   “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?”
He woke up,
   rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Quiet! Be still!”
The wind ceased and there was great calm.
Then he asked them, “Why are you terrified?
Do you not yet have faith?”
They were filled with great awe and said to one another,
   “Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?”

Mark 4:26-34

​Jesus said to the crowds:
“This is how it is with the Kingdom of God;
   it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land
   and would sleep and rise night and day
   and the seed would sprout and grow,
   he knows not how.
Of its own accord the land yields fruit,
   first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
And when the grain is ripe, he wields the sickle at once,
   for the harvest has come.”

He said,
   “To what shall we compare the Kingdom of God,
   or what parable can we use for it?
It is like a mustard seed that, when it is sown in the ground,
   is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth.
But once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants
   and puts forth large branches,
   so that the birds of the sky can dwell in its shade.”
With many such parables
   he spoke the word to them as they were able to understand it.
Without parables he did not speak to them,
   but to his own disciples he explained everything in private.

Mark 4:21-25
Memorial of Saint Thomas Aquinas, priest and doctor of the Church

Jesus said to his disciples,
“Is a lamp brought in to be placed under a bushel basket
   or under a bed,
   and not to be placed on a lampstand?
For there is nothing hidden except to be made visible;
   nothing is secret except to come to light.
Anyone who has ears to hear ought to hear.”
He also told them, “Take care what you hear.
The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you,
   and still more will be given to you.
To the one who has, more will be given;
   from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”

Mark 4:1-20
Optional Memorial of Saint Angela Merici, virgin

​On another occasion, Jesus began to teach by the sea.
A very large crowd gathered around him
   so that he got into a boat on the sea and sat down.
And the whole crowd was beside the sea on land.
And he taught them at length in parables,
   and in the course of his instruction he said to them,
   “Hear this! A sower went out to sow.
And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path,
   and the birds came and ate it up.
Other seed fell on rocky ground where it had little soil.
It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep.
And when the sun rose, it was scorched and it withered for lack of roots.
Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it and it produced no grain.
And some seed fell on rich soil and produced fruit.
It came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.”
He added, “Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.”

And when he was alone,
   those present along with the Twelve
   questioned him about the parables.
He answered them,
   “The mystery of the Kingdom of God has been granted to you.
But to those outside everything comes in parables, so that

   they may look and see but not perceive,
      and hear and listen but not understand,
   in order that they may not be converted and be forgiven.”


Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable?
Then how will you understand any of the parables?
The sower sows the word.
These are the ones on the path where the word is sown.
As soon as they hear, Satan comes at once
   and takes away the word sown in them.
And these are the ones sown on rocky ground who,
   when they hear the word, receive it at once with joy.
But they have no roots; they last only for a time.
Then when tribulation or persecution comes because of the word,
   they quickly fall away.
Those sown among thorns are another sort.
They are the people who hear the word,
   but worldly anxiety, the lure of riches,
   and the craving for other things intrude and choke the word,
   and it bears no fruit.
But those sown on rich soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it
   and bear fruit thirty and sixty and a hundredfold.”

Luke 10:1-9
Memorial of Saints Timothy and Titus, bishops

The Lord Jesus appointed seventy-two other disciples
   whom he sent ahead of him in pairs
   to every town and place he intended to visit.
He said to them,
   “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;
   so ask the master of the harvest
   to send out laborers for his harvest.
Go on your way;
   behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.
Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals;
   and greet no one along the way.
Into whatever house you enter, first say,
   ‘Peace to this household.’
If a peaceful person lives there,
   your peace will rest on him;
   but if not, it will return to you.
Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you,
   for the laborer deserves his pay.
Do not move about from one house to another.
Whatever town you enter and they welcome you,
   eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them,
‘The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.’”

Mark 16:15-18
Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul

Jesus appeared to the Eleven and said to them:
“Go into the whole world
   and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved;
   whoever does not believe will be condemned.
These signs will accompany those who believe:
   in my name they will drive out demons,
   they will speak new languages.
They will pick up serpents with their hands,
   and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them.
They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Mark 3:20-21
Memorial of Saint Marianne Cope, virgin

Jesus came with his disciples into the house.
Again the crowd gathered,
   making it impossible for them even to eat.
When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him,
   for they said, “He is out of his mind.”

Mark 3:13-19
Optional Memorial of Saint Vincent, deacon and martyr

Jesus went up the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted
   and they came to him.
He appointed Twelve, whom he also named Apostles,
   that they might be with him
   and he might send them forth to preach
   and to have authority to drive out demons:
He appointed the Twelve:
   Simon, whom he named Peter;
   James, son of Zebedee,
   and John the brother of James, whom he named Boanerges,
   that is, sons of thunder;
   Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew,
   Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus;
   Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean,
   and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.

Mark 3:7-12
Memorial of Saint Agnes, virgin and martyr

Jesus withdrew toward the sea with his disciples.
A large number of people followed from Galilee and from Judea.
Hearing what he was doing,
   a large number of people came to him also from Jerusalem,
   from Idumea, from beyond the Jordan,
   and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon.
He told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd,
   so that they would not crush him.
He had cured many and, as a result, those who had diseases
   were pressing upon him to touch him.
And whenever unclean spirits saw him they would fall down before him
   and shout, “You are the Son of God.”
He warned them sternly not to make him known.

Mark 3:1-6

​Jesus entered the synagogue.
There was a man there who had a withered hand.
They watched Jesus closely
   to see if he would cure him on the sabbath
   so that they might accuse him.
He said to the man with the withered hand,
   “Come up here before us.”
Then he said to the Pharisees,
   “Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil,
   to save life rather than to destroy it?”
But they remained silent.
Looking around at them with anger
   and grieved at their hardness of heart,
   Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.”
He stretched it out and his hand was restored.
The Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel
   with the Herodians against him to put him to death.
Preacher: Miguel Reyes
