Today’s Responsorial Psalm 18:31, 47 and 50, 51…

R. (see 47b) Blessed be God my salvation!
God’s way is unerring,
the promise of the LORD is fire-tried; he is a shield
to all who take refuge in him.
R. Blessed be God my salvation!

The LORD live! And blessed be my Rock!
Extolled be God my savior.Therefore will I proclaim you, O LORD, among the nations,
and I will sing praise to your name.
R. Blessed be God my salvation!

You who gave great victories to your king
and showed kindness to your anointed,
to David and his posterity forever.
R. Blessed be God my salvation!

Reading I Sirach 47:2-11

Like the choice fat of the sacred offerings, so was David in Israel.He made sport of lions as though they were kids, and of bears, like lambs of the flock.As a youth he slew the giant and wiped out the people’s disgrace,When his hand let fly the slingstone that crushed the pride of Goliath.Since he called upon the Most High God, who gave strength to his right armTo defeat the skilled warrior and raise up the might of his people,Therefore the women sang his praises, and ascribed to him tens of thousands and praised him when they blessed the Lord.When he assumed the royal crown, he battled and subdued the enemy on every side.He destroyed the hostile Philistines and shattered their power till our own day.With his every deed he offered thanks to God Most High, in words of praise.With his whole being he loved his Maker and daily had his praises sung; He set singers before the altar and by their voices he made sweet melodies,He added beauty to the feasts and solemnized the seasons of each yearSo that when the Holy Name was praised, before daybreak the sanctuary would resound.The Lord forgave him his sins and exalted his strength forever;He conferred on him the rights of royalty and established his throne in Israel.

Gospel Mark 6:14-29

King Herod heard about Jesus, for his fame had become widespread,and people were saying,“John the Baptist has been raised from the dead;that is why mighty powers are at work in him.”Others were saying, “He is Elijah”;still others, “He is a prophet like any of the prophets.”But when Herod learned of it, he said,“It is John whom I beheaded. He has been raised up.”Herod was the one who had John arrested and bound in prisonon account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, whom he had married.John had said to Herod,“It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”Herodias harbored a grudge against himand wanted to kill him but was unable to do so.Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man,and kept him in custody.When he heard him speak he was very much perplexed,yet he liked to listen to him.Herodias had an opportunity one day when Herod, on his birthday,gave a banquet for his courtiers, his military officers,and the leading men of Galilee.His own daughter came in and performed a dancethat delighted Herod and his guests.The king said to the girl,“Ask of me whatever you wish and I will grant it to you.” He even swore many things to her,“I will grant you whatever you ask of me,even to half of my kingdom.”She went out and said to her mother,“What shall I ask for?”Her mother replied, “The head of John the Baptist.”The girl hurried back to the king’s presence and made her request,“I want you to give me at once on a platterthe head of John the Baptist.”The king was deeply distressed,but because of his oaths and the guestshe did not wish to break his word to her.So he promptly dispatched an executionerwith orders to bring back his head.He went off and beheaded him in the prison.He brought in the head on a platterand gave it to the girl.The girl in turn gave it to her mother.When his disciples heard about it,they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.

Formed: The Glory of the Psalter

In the Book of Sirach, we hear that David made sport with lions, slew enemies, and built up Israel. These successes were made possible because of the king’s relationship with God. Psalms of praise and thanksgiving were often on David’s lips. Today, let us make these Psalms our own.

Daily Catholic Wisdom…

He who desires to be patient must be humble, because one cannot long support the labors and adversities of life without the humility which makes us gentle and patient.
St. Francis de Sales

My prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, Holy Spirit within me.
I pray the hymns and Psalms of David in praise and thanksgiving to You. For You walk with me, mine and theirs. Having blessed us beyond measure. Protecting us each day. So I sing praise, and pray without ceasing that You continue to walk with us, protect us and bless us. The world is a mess with everyone making up their own truth, but I know You are truth. And only in You can me, mine and theirs find it. Guide us to Your truth.
Not our will, but Yours Lord God.
Jesus, Mary, I love You, save souls.
In Jesus name I pray.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Apostles (Nicene) Creed

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,
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 the 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.

Lords Prayer

Amen.

Amen.

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, make me holy. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, fill me with love. Water from Christ’s side, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. Good Jesus, hear me.

Through all eternity.
Amen.
