JEREMIAH 31:7-9
7 For Yahweh says this:
Shout with joy for Jacob! Hail the chief of nations! Proclaim! Praise! Shout,
'Yahweh has saved his people, the remnant of Israel!'
8 Watch, I shall bring
them back from the land of the north and gather them in from the far ends of
the earth. With them, the blind and the lame, women with child, women in
labour, all together: a mighty throng will return here!
9 In tears they will
return, in prayer I shall lead them. I shall guide them to streams of water, by
a smooth path where they will not stumble. For I am a father to Israel, and
Ephraim is my first-born son.

PSALMS 126:1-2, 2-3,
4-5, 6
1 [Song of Ascents]
When Yahweh brought back Zion's captives we lived in a dream;
2 then our mouths
filled with laughter, and our lips with song. Then the nations kept saying,
'What great deeds Yahweh has done for them!'
3 Yes, Yahweh did great
deeds for us, and we were overjoyed.
4 Bring back, Yahweh,
our people from captivity like torrents in the Negeb!
5 Those who sow in
tears sing as they reap.
6 He went off, went off
weeping, carrying the seed. He comes back, comes back singing, bringing in his
sheaves.
Second Reading
HEBREWS 5:1-6
1 Every high priest is
taken from among human beings and is appointed to act on their behalf in
relationships with God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins;
2 he can sympathise
with those who are ignorant or who have gone astray, because he too is subject
to the limitations of weakness.
3 That is why he has to
make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people.
4 No one takes this
honour on himself; it needs a call from God, as in Aaron's case.
5 And so it was not
Christ who gave himself the glory of becoming high priest, but the one who said
to him: You are my Son, today I have fathered you,
6 and in another text:
You are a priest for ever, of the order of Melchizedek.

Gospel Reading
MARK 10:46-52
46 They reached Jericho;
and as he left Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus -- that
is, the son of Timaeus -- a blind beggar, was sitting at the side of the road.
47 When he heard that it
was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout and cry out, 'Son of David, Jesus,
have pity on me.'
48 And many of them
scolded him and told him to keep quiet, but he only shouted all the louder,
'Son of David, have pity on me.'
49 Jesus stopped and
said, 'Call him here.' So they called the blind man over. 'Courage,' they said,
'get up; he is calling you.'
50 So throwing off his
cloak, he jumped up and went to Jesus.
51 Then Jesus spoke,
'What do you want me to do for you?' The blind man said to him, 'Rabbuni, let
me see again.'
52 Jesus said to him,
'Go; your faith has saved you.' And at once his sight returned and he followed
him along the road.
