First Reading
GENESIS 2:18-24
18 Yahweh God said, 'It
is not right that the man should be alone. I shall make him a helper.'
19 So from the soil
Yahweh God fashioned all the wild animals and all the birds of heaven. These he
brought to the man to see what he would call them; each one was to bear the
name the man would give it.
20 The man gave names to
all the cattle, all the birds of heaven and all the wild animals. But no helper
suitable for the man was found for him.
21 Then, Yahweh God made
the man fall into a deep sleep. And, while he was asleep, he took one of his
ribs and closed the flesh up again forthwith.
22 Yahweh God fashioned
the rib he had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her to the man.
23 And the man said:
This one at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh! She is to be called
Woman, because she was taken from Man.
24 This is why a man
leaves his father and mother and becomes attached to his wife, and they become
one flesh.

PSALMS 128:1-6
1 [Song of Ascents] How
blessed are all who fear Yahweh, who walk in his ways!
2 Your own labours will
yield you a living, happy and prosperous will you be.
3 Your wife a fruitful
vine in the inner places of your house. Your children round your table like
shoots of an olive tree.
4 Such are the
blessings that fall on those who fear Yahweh.
5 May Yahweh bless you
from Zion! May you see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life,
6 and live to see your
children's children! Peace to Israel!
Second Reading
HEBREWS 2:9-11
9 but we do see Jesus,
who was for a short while made less than the angels, now crowned with glory and
honour because he submitted to death; so that by God's grace his experience of
death should benefit all humanity.
10 It was fitting that
God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should, in bringing many sons
to glory, make perfect through suffering the leader of their salvation.
11 For consecrator and
consecrated are all of the same stock; that is why he is not ashamed to call
them brothers

Gospel Reading
MARK 10:2-16
2 Some Pharisees
approached him and asked, 'Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?' They
were putting him to the test.
3 He answered them,
'What did Moses command you?'
4 They replied, 'Moses
allowed us to draw up a writ of dismissal in cases of divorce.'
5 Then Jesus said to
them, 'It was because you were so hard hearted that he wrote this commandment
for you.
6 But from the
beginning of creation he made them male and female.
7 This is why a man
leaves his father and mother,
8 and the two become
one flesh. They are no longer two, therefore, but one flesh.
9 So then, what God has
united, human beings must not divide.'
10 Back in the house the
disciples questioned him again about this,
11 and he said to them,
'Whoever divorces his wife and marries another is guilty of adultery against
her.
12 And if a woman
divorces her husband and marries another she is guilty of adultery too.'
13 People were bringing
little children to him, for him to touch them. The disciples scolded them,
14 but when Jesus saw
this he was indignant and said to them, 'Let the little children come to me; do
not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.
15 In truth I tell you,
anyone who does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never
enter it.'
16 Then he embraced
them, laid his hands on them and gave them his blessing.
