The First Reading
A reading from the second Book of Samuel 7:18-19,24-29
After Nathan had spoken to him, King David went in and,
seated before the Lord, said: ‘Who am I, O Lord, and what is my House, that you have led me as far as this? Yet in your sight, O Lord, this is still not far enough, and you make your promises extend to the House of your servant for a far-distant future. You have constituted your people Israel to be your own people for ever; and you, Lord, have become their God. ‘Now, O Lord, always keep the promise you have made your servant and his House, and do as you have said. Your name will be exalted for ever and men will say, “The Lord of Hosts is God over Israel.” The House of your servant David will be made secure in your presence, since you yourself, Lord of Hosts, God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, “I will build you a House”; hence your servant has ventured to offer this prayer to you. Yes, Lord, you are God indeed, your words are true and you have made this fair promise to your servant. Be pleased, then, to bless the House of your servant, that it may continue for ever in your presence; for you, Lord, have spoken; and with your blessing the House of your servant will be for ever blessed.’

Gospel Acclamation
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit. A Reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark 4:21-25
Glory to you, O Lord. The Gospel
Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Would you bring in a lamp to put it under a tub or under the bed? Surely you will put it on the lamp-stand? For there is nothing hidden but it
must be disclosed, nothing kept secret except to be brought to light. If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen to this.’ He also said to them, ‘Take notice of what you are hearing. The amount you measure out is the amount you will be given – and more besides; for the man who has will be given more; from the man who has not, even what he has will be taken away.’

Prayer over The Offering
The Peace of the Lord be with you always.
And with your spirit.
Let us offer each other the sign of peace
We Share God’s Peace
God our Father, slow to anger,
abounding in mercy,
you find your way to us when we cannot find our way to you,
you are always faithful even when we are unfaithful.
Jesus Christ, you entered the house of sinners,
you sat at the table of the poor,
you accepted the Cross, your throne of mercy.
Holy Spirit, you pour your healing gifts over our
wounds, you anoint us to bring good news to the
poor, you send us out as missionaries of mercy.
God of Mercies, have mercy on us, so that where
sin abounds your grace may abound all the more,
and we shall become Merciful like you. Amen.
