GOSPEL READING

MARK 2:33-3:6

A READING FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK

(THE SON OF MAN IS MASTER EVEN OF THE SABBATH.)

[One sabbath day Jesus happened to be

taking a walk through the cornfields,

and his disciples began to pick ears of corn

as they went along.

And the Pharisees said to him,

“Look, why are you doing something on the sabbath day that is forbidden?”

And he replied,

“Have you never read what David did in his time of need

when he and his followers were hungry

– how he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest,

and ate the loaves of offering

which only the priests are allowed to eat,

and how he also gave some to the men with him?”

And he said to them,

“The sabbath was made for man,

not man for the sabbath;

so the Son of Man is master

even of the sabbath.”]

He went again into a synagogue,

and there was a man there who had a withered hand.

And they were watching him

to see if he would cure him on the sabbath day,

hoping for something to use against him.

He said to the man with the withered hand,

“Stand up out in the middle!”

Then he said to them,

“Is it against the law on the sabbath day

to do good, or to do evil;

to save life,. or to kill?”.

But they said nothing.

Then, grieved to find them so obstinate,

he looked angrily round at them,

and said to the man,

“Stretch out your hand.”

He stretched it out and his hand was better.

The Pharisees went out

and at once began to plot with the Herodians against him,

discussing how to destroy him.

The Gospel of the Lord.

R.) Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

THE CREED

LATIN

Credo in unum Deum,

Patrem omnipotentem,

factorem cæli et terræ,

visibilium omnium et invisibilium.

Et in unum Dominum Iesum Christum,

Filium Dei Unigenitum,

et ex Patre natum ante omnia sæcula.

Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine,

Deum verum de Deo vero,

genitum, non factum, consubstantialem Patri:

per quem omnia facta sunt.

Qui propter nos homines

et propter nostram salutem

descendit de cælis.

(ALL BOW)

Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto

ex Maria Virgine, et homo factus est.

Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato;

passus et sepultus est,

et resurrexit tertia die,

secundum Scripturas,

et ascendit in cælum,

sedet ad dexteram Patris.

Et iterum venturus est cum gloria,

iudicare vivos et mortuos,

cuius regni non erit finis.

Et in Spiritum Sanctum,

Dominum et vivificantem:

qui ex Patra Filioque procedit.

Qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur:

qui locutus est per prophetas.

Et unam, sanctam, catholicam

et apostolicam Ecclesiam.

Confiteor unum baptisma in rermissionem peccatorum.

Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum,

et vitam venturi sæculi.

Amen.

ENGLISH

I believe in one God,

the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, light from light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made,

consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

(ALL BOW)

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and Son is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one,

holy, catholic and apostolic church.

I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the world to come.

Amen.
