제1독서
히브리서. 8,6-13
형제 여러분, 6 이제 그리스도께서는 더 훌륭한 직무를 맡으셨습니다.
더 나은 약속을 바탕으로 세워진 더 나은 계약의 중개자이시기 때문입니다.
7 저 첫째 계약에 결함이 없었다면, 다른 계약을 찾을 까닭이 없었을 것입니다.
8 그런데 하느님께서는 그들의 결함을 꾸짖으시며 이렇게 말씀하십니다.
“보라, 그날이 온다. ─ 주님께서 말씀하신다. ─
그때에 나는 이스라엘 집안과 유다 집안과 새 계약을 맺으리라.
9 그것은 내가 그 조상들의 손을 잡고 이집트 땅에서 이끌고 나올 때에
그들과 맺었던 계약과는 다르다.
그들이 내 계약을 지키지 않아 나도 그들을 돌보지 않았다.
─ 주님께서 말씀하신다. ─
10 그 시대가 지난 뒤에 내가 이스라엘 집안과 맺어 줄 계약은 이러하다.
─ 주님께서 말씀하신다. ─
나는 그들의 생각 속에 내 법을 넣어 주고 그들의 마음에 그 법을 새겨 주리라.
그리하여 나는 그들의 하느님이 되고 그들은 나의 백성이 되리라.
11 그때에는 아무도 자기 이웃에게,
아무도 제 형제에게 ‘주님을 알아라.’ 하고 가르치지 않으리라.
그들이 낮은 사람부터 높은 사람까지 모두 나를 알게 될 것이기 때문이다.
12 나는 그들의 불의를 너그럽게 보아주고 그들의 죄를 더 이상 기억하지 않으리라.”
13 하느님께서는 “새 계약”이라는 말씀을 하심으로써
첫째 계약을 낡은 것으로 만드셨습니다. 낡고 오래된 것은 곧 사라집니다.
복음
마르코. 3,13-19
그때에 13 예수님께서 산에 올라가시어,
당신께서 원하시는 이들을 가까이 부르시니 그들이 그분께 나아왔다.
14 그분께서는 열둘을 세우시고 그들을 사도라 이름하셨다.
그들을 당신과 함께 지내게 하시고, 그들을 파견하시어 복음을 선포하게 하시며,
15 마귀들을 쫓아내는 권한을 가지게 하시려는 것이었다.
16 이렇게 예수님께서 열둘을 세우셨는데, 그들은 베드로라는 이름을 붙여 주신 시몬,
17 ‘천둥의 아들들’이라는 뜻으로 보아네르게스라는 이름을 붙여 주신
제베대오의 아들 야고보와 그의 동생 요한,
18 그리고 안드레아, 필립보, 바르톨로메오, 마태오, 토마스, 알패오의 아들 야고보,
타대오, 열혈당원 시몬, 19 또 예수님을 팔아넘긴 유다 이스카리옷이다.

Brothers and sisters:
Now our high priest has obtained so much more excellent a ministry
as he is mediator of a better covenant,
enacted on better promises.
For if that first covenant had been faultless,
no place would have been sought for a second one.
But he finds fault with them and says:
Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will conclude a new covenant with the house of
Israel and the house of Judah.
It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers
the day I took them by the hand to lead
them forth from the land of Egypt;
for they did not stand by my covenant
and I ignored them, says the Lord.
But this is the covenant I will establish with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their minds
and I will write them upon their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
And they shall not teach, each one his fellow citizen and kin, saying,
“Know the Lord,”
for all shall know me, from least to greatest.
For I will forgive their evildoing
and remember their sins no more.
When he speaks of a “new” covenant,
he declares the first one obsolete.
And what has become obsolete
and has grown old is close to disappearing.
Responsorial Psalm
R. (11a) Kindness and truth shall meet.
Show us, O LORD, your mercy,
and grant us your salvation.
Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him,
glory dwelling in our land.
R. Kindness and truth shall meet.
Kindness and truth shall meet;
justice and peace shall kiss.
Truth shall spring out of the earth,
and justice shall look down from heaven.
R. Kindness and truth shall meet.
The LORD himself will give his benefits;
our land shall yield its increase.
Justice shall walk before him,
and salvation, along the way of his steps.
R. Kindness and truth shall meet.
Gospel
Jesus went up the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted
and they came to him.
He appointed Twelve, whom he also named Apostles,
that they might be with him
and he might send them forth to preach
and to have authority to drive out demons:
He appointed the Twelve:
Simon, whom he named Peter;
James, son of Zebedee,
and John the brother of James, whom he named Boanerges,
that is, sons of thunder;
Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew,
Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus;
Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean,
and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.

….Jesus went up the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted
and they came to him.
He appointed Twelve, whom he also named Apostles,
that they might be with him
and he might send them forth to preach
and to have authority to drive out demons….
I try and imagine spending time with the Apostles and all they experienced. They did not hesitate to follow Jesus and although they displayed doubt, had periods of anger and betrayal they also grew in their faith, love and holiness for Jesus, each other and to all whom they encountered. Although we do not have the Apostles of yesterday are we not all called to be disciples? To share and be teachers of the word. To pray and spend devoted time with our Lord Jesus. Praying the examen, quiet reflection. Focused meditation is as important to a daily routine as is work, family and recreation time. These devotional times provide an opportunity to remember how Jesus loves us and invites us to remember and bask in the warmth of this love.
“Love one another as I have loved you” (John 13: 34-35). Jesus loves us in a way we do not understand and commands us to love one another. We must be responsive to this command so we can have the type of relationship with Jesus that serves a greater purpose. If we are not responsive, we must ask why? What are the barriers and challenges to openly loving Jesus and one another? Remember the commandment “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31) and ask Jesus to remove these barriers.

THE COST OF DISUNITY
“They were likewise to have authority to expel demons.” —Mark 3:15
Jesus created His Church and gave it the power to expel demons (Mk 3:15). We are authorized to be the Church Militant and drive out the demons of abortion. A battle rages fiercely in the USA over the future of legalized abortion in the various states, dividing the nation sharply.
This coming week will feature a time of prayer for Christian unity. The teaching of the Catholic Church on abortion is united in truth; however, the Church’s members are not united, much less all the members of Christian denominations. We have a civil war going on in our hearts (Jas 4:1; Jer 17:9). If the New Covenant were truly written on our hearts (Heb 8:10), we wouldn’t be so splintered and divided. If we followed God’s New Covenant and lived as His royal and united people (Heb 8:10; cf Jer 31:33), we wouldn’t so readily allow millions of babies in the womb to be murdered.
“Today, if you should hear His voice, harden not your hearts” (Heb 3:7-8; Ps 95:7-8). Repent! “Open wide your hearts” (2 Cor 6:13). Let the Holy Spirit work on your heart as He wishes (see Rm 5:5).
Prayer: “My heart is ready, God, my heart is ready” (Ps 57:7, JB).
Promise: “I will forgive their evildoing, and their sins I will remember no more.” —Heb 8:12
Praise: Pope St. Fabian promoted missionary work and condemned heresy, even to the point of giving his life.

What is God's call on your life? When Jesus embarked on his mission he chose twelve men for the task of preaching the kingdom of God and healing the sick in the power of that kingdom. In the choice of the twelve, we see a characteristic feature of God's work: Jesus chose very ordinary people. They were non-professionals, who had no wealth or position. They were chosen from the common people who did ordinary things, had no special education, and no social advantages. Jesus wanted ordinary people who could take an assignment and do it extraordinarily well. He chose these men, not for what they were, but for what they would be capable of becoming under his direction and power.
Jesus calls you to serve him - will you say yes today and tomorrow?
When the Lord calls us to serve, we must not shrug back because we think that we have little or nothing to offer. The Lord takes what ordinary people, like us, can offer and uses it for greatness in his kingdom. Do you make your life an offering to the Lord and allow him to use you as he sees fit?
Lord Jesus, fill me with gratitude and generosity for all you have done for me. Take my life and all that I have as an offering of love for you, who are my All.
Psalm 85:8-13
8 Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints, to those who turn to him in their hearts.
9.Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other.
11 Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky.
12 Yes, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
13 Righteousness will go before him, and make his footsteps a way.
Daily Quote from the Early Church Fathers: The renaming of Matthew by Jesus, by Bede the Venerable, 672-735 A.D.
"We must not pass over the fact that Matthew had two names, for he was also called Levi, and that name too bears witness to the grace granted to him. Levi means 'added' (or 'a joining') or 'taken up,' signifying that he was 'taken up' through being chosen by the Lord, and 'added' to the number of the apostolic band. Mark and Luke generously chose to use this name alone, so as to not make glaringly conspicuous his former way of life, for he was now their companion in the work of the Gospel (Mark 2:14, Luke 5:27). In setting down the list of the twelve apostles, they simply called him Matthew, not mentioning Levi (Mark 3:18, Luke 6:15). Matthew himself, on the other hand (in accord with what is written, 'The just man is the first accuser of himself; his friend came and searched him out' - Proverbs 18:17), calls himself by his ordinary name when telling of being called from his tax-collector's place, but adds pointedly 'the publican' (Matthew 10:3) - 'Thomas,' he says, 'and Matthew the publican.' In this way he offers to publicans and sinners greater confidence in securing their salvation." (excerpt from HOMILIES ON THE GOSPELS 1.21)
