Almighty and everlasting God, increase in us the gifts of faith, hope, and charity; and,

that we may obtain what you promise, make us love what you command; through

Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for

ever and ever. Amen.

First Lesson, Job 42: 1-6, 10-17

Then Job answered the LORD:

“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. ‘Who is

this that hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have uttered what I did not

understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. ‘Hear, and I will speak; I

will question you, and you declare to me.’ I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,

but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes. And

the LORD restored the fortunes of Job when he had prayed for his friends; and the LORD

gave Job twice as much as he had before. Then there came to him all his brothers and

sisters and all who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house; they

showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the LORD had brought

upon him; and each of them gave him a piece of money and a gold ring. The LORD

blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand

sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand donkeys. He also

had seven sons and three daughters. He named the first Jemimah, the second Keziah, and

the third Kerenhappuch. In all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job’s

daughters; and their father gave an inheritance along with their brothers. After this Job

lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children, and his children’s children, four

generations. And Job died, old and full of days.

Then Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man

said to him, “My teacher, let me see again.” Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith

has made you well.” (Mark 10:46-52)

(Mark 10:46-52)

Psalm 34:1-8 Benediccam Dominum

1

I will bless the LORD at all/ times; *

his praise shall ever be in my/ mouth.

2

I will glory in the/ LORD; *

let the humble hear and re/joice.

3

Proclaim with me the greatness of the /LORD; *

let us exalt his Name to/gether.

4

I sought the LORD, and he/ answered me *

and delivered me out of all my /terror.

5

Look upon him and be /radiant, *

and let not your faces be a/shamed.

Second Lesson, Hebrews 7:23-28

The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from

continuing in office; but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever.

Consequently he is able for all time to save those who approach God through him, since he

always lives to make intercession for them. For it was fitting that we should have such a high

priest, holy, blameless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. Unlike

the other high priests, he has no need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and

then for those of the people; this he did once for all when he offered himself. For the law

appoints high priests those who are subject to weakness, but the word of the oath, which came

later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.

Gradual Hymn, 495 Hail thou once despised Jesus! In Babilone

6

I called in my affliction and the LORD /

heard me*

and saved me from all my /troubles.

7

The angel of the LORD encompasses those

Who/ fear him, *

and he will de/liver them.

8

Taste and see that the LORD is /good, *

happy are they who/ trust in him!

The Gospel, Mark10: 46-52

Jesus and his disciples came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving

Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadshide. When he heard

that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on

me!” Many sternly orderd him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, “Son of David, have

mercy on me!” Jesus stood still and said, “Call him here.” And they called the blind man, saying to

him, “Take heart; get up, he is calling you.” So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to

Jesus. Then Jesus said to him ”What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “My

teacher, let me see again.” Jesus said to him, ”Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he

regained his sight and followed him on the way.
