  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Hebrews 10:32-39

  32But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings,33sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.34For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.35Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.36For you have need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and receive what is promised.37"For yet a little while, and the coming one shall come and shall not tarry;38but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."39But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 37:3-6, 23-24, 39-40

  3Trust in the LORD, and do good; so you will dwell in the land, and enjoy security. 4Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. 6He will bring forth your vindication as the light, and your right as the noonday. 23The steps of a man are from the LORD, and he establishes him in whose way he delights; 24though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD is the stay of his hand. 39The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their refuge in the time of trouble. 40The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked, and saves them, because they take refuge in him.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Mark 4:26-34

  26And he said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed upon the ground, 27and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he knows not how. 28The earth produces of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come." 30And he said, "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? 31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; 32yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade." 33With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it; 34he did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

• THURSDAY THIRD WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME 2025:

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Heb 10:19-25

  Brothers and sisters:
  Since through the Blood of Jesus
  we have confidence of entrance into the sanctuary
  by the new and living way he opened for us through the veil,
  that is, his flesh,
  and since we have “a great priest over the house of God,”
  let us approach with a sincere heart and in absolute trust,
  with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience
  and our bodies washed in pure water.
  Let us hold unwaveringly to our confession that gives us hope,
  for he who made the promise is trustworthy.
  We must consider how to rouse one another to love and good works.
  We should not stay away from our assembly,
  as is the custom of some, but encourage one another,
  and this all the more as you see the day drawing near.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  PS 24:1-2, 3-4ab, 5-6

  R. (see 6)  Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
  The LORD’s are the earth and its fullness;
  the world and those who dwell in it.
  For he founded it upon the seas
  and established it upon the rivers.
  R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
  Who can ascend the mountain of the LORD?
  or who may stand in his holy place?
  He whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean,
  who desires not what is vain.
  R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
  He shall receive a blessing from the LORD,
  a reward from God his savior.
  Such is the race that seeks for him,
  that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.
  R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  mk 4:21-25

  Jesus said to his disciples,
  “Is a lamp brought in to be placed under a bushel basket
  or under a bed,
  and not to be placed on a lampstand?
  For there is nothing hidden except to be made visible;
  nothing is secret except to come to light.
  Anyone who has ears to hear ought to hear.”
  He also told them, “Take care what you hear.
  The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you,
  and still more will be given to you.
  To the one who has, more will be given;
  from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
