    The Twenty-First

    Sunday a(er Pentecost


    Year B
    Daily Readings for Sunday
    October 13, 2024

    Prayer
    Deacon: Let us pray.
    God of all who are cast down,
    you call us to seek good
    and to meet oppression with jus9ce.
    Teach us to find salva9on
    in the emptying of ourselves for the sake of those in need,
    so that goodness may prevail
    and your kingdom come in Jesus Christ. Amen.

    Lector: Please be seated.

    First Reading
    Lector: A reading from the Book of Amos.

    Amos 5:6-7, 10-15


    Turn from injus,ce to the poor

    Seek the Lord and live,


    or he will break out against the house of Joseph like fire,
    and it will devour Bethel, with no one to quench it.
    Ah, you that turn jus9ce to wormwood,
    and bring righteousness to the ground!
    They hate the one who reproves in the gate,
    and they abhor the one who speaks the truth.
    Therefore because you trample on the poor
    and take from them levies of grain,
    you have built houses of hewn stone,
    but you shall not live in them;
    you have planted pleasant vineyards,
    but you shall not drink their wine.
    For I know how many are your transgressions,
    and how great are your sins—
    you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe,
    and push aside the needy in the gate.
    Therefore the prudent will keep silent in such a 9me;
    for it is an evil 9me.
    Seek good and not evil,
    that you may live;
    and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you,
    just as you have said.
    Hate evil and love good,
    and establish jus9ce in the gate;
    it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts,
    will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

    Lector: The Word of the Lord.


    All: Thanks be to God.
    Responsorial Psalm
    Psalm 90:12-17
    Teach us to number our days

    So teach us to count our days


    that we may gain a wise heart.
    Turn, O Lord! How long?
    Have compassion on your servants!
    Sa9sfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
    so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
    Make us glad as many days as you have afflicted us,
    and as many years as we have seen evil.
    Let your work be manifest to your servants,
    and your glorious power to their children.
    Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
    and prosper for us the work of our hands—
    O prosper the work of our hands!
    Second Reading
    Lector: A reading from the second le?er of Paul to the Corinthians.

    2 Corinthians 13:1-13
    Further Warning

    This is the third 9me I am coming to you. “Any charge must be sustained by the
    evidence of two or three witnesses.” I warned those who sinned previously and all
    the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second
    visit, that if I come again, I will not be lenient—since you desire proof that Christ is
    speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful in you. For he was
    crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we are weak in him, but in
    dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God.

    Examine yourselves to see whether you are living in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you
    not realize that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless, indeed, you fail to meet the test! I
    hope you will find out that we have not failed. But we pray to God that you may not
    do anything wrong—not that we may appear to have met the test, but that you may
    do what is right, though we may seem to have failed. For we cannot do anything
    against the truth, but only for the truth. For we rejoice when we are weak and you
    are strong. This is what we pray for, that you may become perfect. So I write these
    things while I am away from you, so that when I come, I may not have to be severe in
    using the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing
    down.

    Final Gree,ngs and Benedic,on

    Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree
    with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet
    one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you.

    The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy
    Spirit be with all of you.

    Lector: The Word of the Lord.


    All: Thanks be to God.
    Gospel Reading
    Lector: Please rise as we read the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
    Deacon: Hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.
    All: Glory to you, O Lord.

    Mark 10:17-31
    Teaching on wealth and reward

    As he was seWng out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked
    him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “Why
    do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments:
    ‘You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not
    bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your father and mother.’” He said to
    him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him
    and said, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor,
    and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” When he heard this, he
    was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions.

    Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who
    have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” And the disciples were perplexed at these
    words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of
    God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who
    is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” They were greatly astounded and said to one
    another, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is
    impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.”

    Peter began to say to him, “Look, we have le^ everything and followed you.” Jesus
    said, “Truly I tell you, there is no one who has le^ house or brothers or sisters or
    mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news,
    who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age—houses, brothers and sisters,
    mothers and children, and fields, with persecu9ons—and in the age to come eternal
    life. But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”

    Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord.


    All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
