SIRACH 6:5-17
5 A kindly turn of speech
attracts new friends, a courteous tongue invites many a friendly response.
6 Let your acquaintances
be many, but for advisers choose one out of a thousand.
7 If you want to make a
friend, take him on trial, and do not be in a hurry to trust him;
8 for one kind of friend
is so only when it suits him but will not stand by you in your day of trouble.
9 Another kind of friend
will fall out with you and to your dismay make your quarrel public,
10 and a third kind of
friend will share your table, but not stand by you in your day of trouble:
11 when you are doing well
he will be your second self, ordering your servants about;
12 but, if disaster
befalls you, he will recoil from you and keep out of your way.
13 Keep well clear of your
enemies, and be wary of your friends.
14 A loyal friend is a
powerful defence: whoever finds one has indeed found a treasure.
15 A loyal friend is
something beyond price, there is no measuring his worth.
16 A loyal friend is the
elixir of life, and those who fear the Lord will find one.
17 Whoever fears the Lord
makes true friends, for as a person is, so is his friend too.

PSALMS 119:12, 16, 18,
27, 34, 35
12 Blessed are you,
Yahweh, teach me your will!
16 I find my delight in
your will, I do not forget your words.
18 Open my eyes and I
shall fix my gaze on the wonders of your Law.
27 Show me the way of your
precepts, that I may reflect on your wonders.
34 Give me understanding
and I will observe your Law, and keep it wholeheartedly.
35 Guide me in the way of
your commandments, for my delight is there.
Gospel Reading
MARK 10:1-12
1 After leaving there, he
came into the territory of Judaea and Transjordan. And again crowds gathered
round him, and again he taught them, as his custom was.
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.'
