Sixth Sunday of
Ordinary Time – Year B
5:00 pm Novena to Our Lady
5:30 pm Sunset Mass in English
First Reading
LEVITICUS 13:1-2,
44-46
1 Yahweh said to Moses
and Aaron,
2 'If a swelling or
scab or spot appears on someone's skin, which could develop into a contagious
skin-disease, that person must then be taken to the priest, either Aaron or one
of his sons.
44 the person has such a
disease: he is unclean. The priest will declare him unclean; he has a
contagious skin-disease of the head.
45 'Anyone with a
contagious skin-disease will wear torn clothing and disordered hair; and will
cover the upper lip and shout, "Unclean, unclean."
46 As long as the
disease lasts, such a person will be unclean and, being unclean, will live
alone and live outside the camp.

PSALMS 32:1-2, 5, 11
1
[Of David Poem] How blessed are those
whose offence is forgiven, whose sin blotted out.
2 How blessed are those to whom Yahweh imputes
no guilt, whose spirit harbours no deceit.
5 I made my sin known to you, did not conceal
my guilt. I said, 'I shall confess my offence to Yahweh.' And you, for your
part, took away my guilt, forgave my sin.Pause
6 That is why each of your faithful ones prays
to you in time of distress. Even if great floods overflow, they will never
reach your faithful.
7 You are a refuge for me, you guard me in
trouble, with songs of deliverance you surround me.Pause
8 I shall instruct you and teach you the way to
go; I shall not take my eyes off you.
9 Be not like a horse or a mule; that does not
understand bridle or bit; if you advance to master them, there is no means of
bringing them near.
10 Countless troubles are in store for the
wicked, but one who trusts in Yahweh is enfolded in his faithful love.
11 Rejoice in Yahweh, exult all you upright,
shout for joy, you honest of heart.
Second Reading
First Corinthians
10:31--11:1
31 Whatever you eat,
then, or drink, and whatever else you do, do it all for the glory of God.
1 Take me as your
pattern, just as I take Christ for mine.

Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
MARK 1:40-45
40 A man suffering from
a virulent skin-disease came to him and pleaded on his knees saying, 'If you
are willing, you can cleanse me.'
41 Feeling sorry for
him, Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him and said to him, 'I am willing.
Be cleansed.'
42 And at once the
skin-disease left him and he was cleansed.
43 And at once Jesus sternly
sent him away and said to him,
44 'Mind you tell no one
anything, but go and show yourself to the priest, and make the offering for
your cleansing prescribed by Moses as evidence to them.'
45 The man went away,
but then started freely proclaiming and telling the story everywhere, so that
Jesus could no longer go openly into any town, but stayed outside in deserted
places. Even so, people from all around kept coming to him.
