* PSALM 8 *
How wonderful is your name over all the earth, O Lord, our Lord!
PSALM 8:2-10Dómine, Dóminus noster,* quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra,
Extended Reading Isaiah 1:11-18
11 To what purpose do you offer me the multitude of your victims, saith the Lord? I am full, I desire not holocausts of rams, and fat of fatlings, and blood of calves, and lambs, and buck goats.
12 When you came to appear before me, who required these things at your hands, that you should walk in my courts?
13 Offer sacrifice no more in vain: incense is an abomination to me. The new moons, and the sabbaths, and other festivals I will not abide, your assemblies are wicked.
14 My soul hateth your new moons, and your solemnities: they are become troublesome to me, I am weary of bearing them.
15 And when you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away my eyes from you: and when you multiply prayer, I will not hear: for your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from my eyes: cease to do perversely,
17 Learn to do well: seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge for the fatherless, defend the widow.
18 And then come, and accuse me, saith the Lord: if your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as wool.

Short Responsory paraphrase
God will free me from the trap of predators.
And from their sharp words.
Responsorium breve ℣. Quoniam ipse liberavit me de laqueo venantium, ℟ et a verbo aspero. (Psalm 90:3 VUC)..
AntiphonFather, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat me as one of your paid servants.
Pater, peccávi in cælum et coram te, iam non sum dignus vocári fílius tuus, fac me sicut unum ex mercenáriis tuis.

GOSPEL OF MARK
Chapter 4
24 And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you shall give, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you.
25 For he that has, to him shall be given: and he that has not, that also which he has shall be taken away from him.
26 And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the earth,
27 And should sleep, and rise, night and day, and the seed should spring, and grow up while he does not know.
28 For the earth of itself brings forth fruit, first the blade, then the ear, afterwards the full corn in the ear.
29 And when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we compare it?
31 It is as a grain of mustard seed: which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth:
32 And when it is sown, it grows up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shoots out great branches, so that the birds of the air may dwell under the shadow thereof.
33 And with many such parables, he spoke to them the word, according as they were able to hear.
34 And without parable he did not speak unto them; but apart, he explained all things to his disciples
