The lovers of your law have great peace, Lord.Though my foes and oppressors are countless, I have not swerved from your decrees.Truth is the sum of your word;all your just judgements are eternal.Though princes oppress me without cause,my heart reveres your word.The lovers of your law have great peace;no stumbling block for them.I await your salvation, O Lord;I fulfil your commands.I obey your precepts and decrees;all my ways are before you.R/. The lovers of your law have great peace, Lord.Alleluia, alleluia.If a man loves me, he will keep my word, says the Lord; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him.Alleluia.Gospel: Mark 12:35-37A reading from the Holy Gospel according to MarkAt that time: As Jesus taught in the temple, he said, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? David himself, inspired by the Holy Spirit, declared, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put your enemies under your feet.’ David himself calls him Lord; so how is he, his son?” And the great throng heard him gladly.The Gospel of the LordCommunion Antiphon: cf. Mt 16:24Whoever wishes to come after me, must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me, says the Lord.
