THE GOSPEL
Mark 3:20-35Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.
Jesus,
is it what
you came to do?
Make us your family?
We are all your sisters and brothers
as we do the will of your
Father.
We know him
because we know you.
Give us the grace
to love him, and
the desire
to do
the will
of Our Father.
THE FIRST READING
Genesis 3:9-15
The woman whom you put here with me—she gave me fruit from the tree, and so I ate it.
We ate from the garden,
and we do it now.
We still sin.
Thank you Jesus,
for coming to be with us in this
no-longer-garden-
of-paradise.
Because you are here,
we are still in a
holy place.
THE SECOND READING
2 Corinthians 4:13—5:1
For this momentary light affliction is producing for us an
eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.
Christ, please call us.
Send us your love and your grace.
Help us to look
with the eyes of our hearts,
beyond what
we can see
to that which is
unseen.
It is enough for us.
