Entrance Anphon
All that you have done to us, O Lord,
you have done with true judgement,
for we have sinned against you
and not obeyed your commandments.
But give glory to your name
and deal with us according to the bounty of your mercy.
Collect
O God, who manifest your almighty power
above all by pardoning and showing mercy,
bestow, we pray, your grace abundantly upon us
and make those hastening to a ain your promises
heirs to the treasures of heaven.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
First reading
Numbers 11:25-29
The Lord came down in the Cloud. He spoke with Moses, but took
some of the spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders.
When the spirit came on them they prophesied, but not again.
Two men had stayed back in the camp; one was called Eldad and
the other Medad. The spirit came down on them; though they had
not gone to the Tent, their names were enrolled among the rest.
These began to prophesy in the camp. The young man ran to tell this
to Moses, ‘Look,’ he said ‘Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the
camp.’ Then said Joshua the son of Nun, who had served Moses
from his youth, ‘My Lord Moses, stop them!’ Moses answered him,
‘Are you jealous on my account? If only the whole people of the Lord
were prophets, and the Lord gave his Spirit to them all!’
Psalm
Psalm 18:8,10,12-14
The precepts of the Lord gladden the heart.
The law of the Lord is perfect,
it revives the soul.
The rule of the Lord is to be trusted,
it gives wisdom to the simple.
The precepts of the Lord gladden the heart.
The fear of the Lord is holy,
abiding for ever.
The decrees of the Lord are truth
and all of them just.
The precepts of the Lord gladden the heart.
So in them your servant finds instruc1on;
great reward is in their keeping.
But who can detect all his errors?
From hidden faults acquit me.
The precepts of the Lord gladden the heart.
From presump1on restrain your servant
and let it not rule me.
Then shall I be blameless,
clean from grave sin.
The precepts of the Lord gladden the heart.
Second reading
James 5:1-6
An answer for the rich. Start crying, weep for the miseries that are
coming to you. Your wealth is all ro5ng, your clothes are all eaten
up by moths. All your gold and your silver are corroding away, and
the same corrosion will be your own sentence, and eat into your
body. It was a burning fire that you stored up as your treasure for
the last days. Labourers mowed your fields, and you cheated them –
listen to the wages that you kept back, calling out; realise that the
cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. On
earth you have had a life of comfort and luxury; in the 1me of
slaughter you went on ea1ng to your heart’s content. It was you
who condemned the innocent and killed them; they offered you no
resistance.
Gospel
Mark 9:38-43,45,47-48
John said to Jesus, ‘Master, we saw a man who is not one of us
cas1ng out devils in your name; and because he was not one of us
we tried to stop him.’ But Jesus said, ‘You must not stop him: no one
who works a miracle in my name is likely to speak evil of me. Anyone
who is not against us is for us.
‘If anyone gives you a cup of water to drink just because you be-
long to Christ, then I tell you solemnly, he will most certainly not
lose his reward.
‘But anyone who is an obstacle to bring down one of these li le
ones who have faith, would be be er thrown into the sea with a
great millstone round his neck. And if your hand should cause you to
sin, cut it off; it is be er for you to enter into life crippled, than to
have two hands and go to hell, into the fire that cannot be put out.
And if your foot should cause you to sin, cut it off; it is be er for you
to enter into life lame, than to have two feet and be thrown into
hell. And if your eye should cause you to sin, tear it out; it is be er
for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than to have
two eyes and be thrown into hell where their worm does not die nor
their fire go out.’
Prayer over the Offerings
Grant us, O merciful God,
that this our offering may find acceptance with you
and that through it the wellspring of all blessing
may be laid open before us.
Through Christ our Lord.
Communion Anphon

Heavenly Father,
Look with kindness and mercy on all who fly from

Grant your protec%on to many people who like his
family saw no other op%on but to take a perilous
journey over land and sea in order to find a place of
safety and the hope a be(er life.
Look with pity on the many people who like them
are uprooted at this %me from their land and their
homes and who are uncertain of their future. May
the plight of many displaced people, through your
grace, s%r up hearts in every na%on to acts of
kindness and generosity so that strangers find
friends, those held cap%ve are set free and those
who are weak gain new strength.
Take also into your care the %ny child washed up on
the shore who didn’t reach a place of safety away
from the destruc%on of war and terror.
Take also into your care the many men, women and

exodus from their lands. Bless them with peace
that only you can give.
