READINGS
The readings for this weekend's Masses are shown below in English. They are available
in eleven other languages
including French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish by clicking on this
link.
First
Reading
Exodus
24:3-8
Moses
went and told the people all the commands of the Lord and all the ordinances.
In answer, all the people said with one voice, We will observe all the commands
that the Lord has decreed. Moses put all the commands of the Lord into writing,
and early next morning he built an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve
standing-stones for the twelve tribes of Israel. Then he directed certain young
Israelites to offer holocausts and to immolate bullocks to the Lord as communion
sacrifices. Half of the blood Moses took up and put into basins, the other half
he cast on the altar. And taking the Book of the Covenant he read it to the listening
people, and they said, We will observe all that the Lord has decreed; we will
obey. Then Moses took the blood and cast it towards the people. This he said is
the blood of the Covenant that the Lord has made with you, containing all these
rules.
Second Reading
Hebrews
9:11-15
Now Christ has come, as the high priest of all the blessings which
were to come. He has passed through the greater, the more perfect tent, which
is better than one made by men's hands because it is not of this created order;
and he has entered the sanctuary once and for all, taking with him not the blood
of goats and bull calves, but his own blood, having won an eternal redemption
for us. The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer are sprinkled on
those who have incurred defilement and they restore the holiness of their outward
lives; how much more effectively the blood of Christ, who offered himself as the
perfect sacrifice to God through the eternal Spirit, can purify our inner self
from dead actions so that we do our service to the living God. He brings a new
covenant, as the mediator, only so that the people who were called to an eternal
inheritance may actually receive what was promised: his death took place to cancel
the sins that infringed the earlier covenant.
Gospel
Mark
14:12-16.22-26
On
the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was sacrificed, his
disciples said to Jesus, "Where do you want us to go and make the preparations
for you to eat the Passover?" So he sent two of his disciples, saying to
them, "Go into the city and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water.
Follow him, and say to the owner of the house which he enters, "The Master
says: Where is my dining room in which I can eat the Passover with my disciples?"
He will show you a large upper room furnished with couches, all prepared. Make
the preparations for us there." The disciples set out and went to the city
and found everything as he had told them, and prepared the Passover. And as they
were eating he took some bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it
and gave it to them. "Take it," he said "this is my body."
Then he took a cup, and when he had returned thanks he gave it to them, and all
drank from it, and he said to them, "This is my blood, the blood of the covenant,
which is to be poured out for many. I tell you solemnly, I shall not drink any
more wine until the day I drink the new wine in the kingdom of God." After
psalms had been sung they left for the Mount of Olives.
