First Letter of Peter 5:5b-14.
Likewise, you younger members, be subject to the
presbyters. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for:
"God opposes the proud but bestows favor on the humble."
So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Cast all
your worries upon him because he cares for you.
Be sober and
vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for (someone) to
devour.
Resist him, steadfast in faith, knowing that your
fellow believers throughout the world undergo the same sufferings.
The God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory through
Christ (Jesus) will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you after you have suffered
a little. To him be dominion forever. Amen.
I write you this
briefly through Silvanus, whom I consider a faithful brother, exhorting you and testifying that this
is the true grace of God. Remain firm in it.
The chosen
one at Babylon sends you greeting, as does Mark, my son. Greet one another with a loving kiss. Peace
to all of you who are in Christ.
Psalms 89(88):2-3.6-7.16-17.
The promises of the LORD I will sing forever,
proclaim your loyalty through all ages.
For you
said, "My love is established forever;
my loyalty will stand as long as the heavens.
The heavens praise your marvels, LORD,
your loyalty in the assembly of the holy ones.
Who in
the skies ranks with the LORD?
Who is like the LORD among the gods?
Happy
the people who know you, LORD,
who walk in the radiance of your face.
In your name they sing joyfully all the day;
at your victory they raise the festal shout.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 16:15-20.
Jesus appeared to the Eleven and
said to them: "Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not
believe will be condemned. These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive
out demons, they will speak new languages.
They will pick up
serpents (with their hands), and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will
lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
So then the
Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of
God.
But they went forth and preached everywhere, while
the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.)
