Saturday of the Ninth Week in Ordinary Time

Reading 1
2 Timothy 4:1-8

Beloved:
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus,
who will judge the living and the dead,
and by his appearing and his kingly power:
proclaim the word;
be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient;
convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching.
For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine
but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity,
will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth
and will be diverted to myths.
But you, be self-possessed in all circumstances;
put up with hardship;
perform the work of an evangelist;
fulfill your ministry.For I am already being poured out like a libation,
and the time of my departure is at hand.
I have competed well;
I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.
From now on the crown of righteousness awaits me,
which the Lord, the just judge,
will award to me on that day, and not only to me,
but to all who have longed for his appearance.

The word of God.

Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 71:8-9, 14-15AB, 16-17, 22

R. (see 15ab) I will sing of your salvation.
My mouth shall be filled with your praise,
with your glory day by day.
Cast me not off in my old age;
as my strength fails, forsake me not.
R. I will sing of your salvation.
But I will always hope
and praise you ever more and more.
My mouth shall declare your justice,
day by day your salvation.
R. I will sing of your salvation.
I will treat of the mighty works of the Lord;
O God, I will tell of your singular justice.
O God, you have taught me from my youth,
and till the present I proclaim your wondrous deeds.
R. I will sing of your salvation.
So will I give you thanks with music on the lyre,
for your faithfulness, O my God!
I will sing your praises with the harp,
O Holy One of Israel!
R. I will sing of your salvation.

Gospel
Mark 12:38-44

In the course of his teaching Jesus said,
“Beware of the scribes, who like to go around in long robes
and accept greetings in the marketplaces,
seats of honor in synagogues,
and places of honor at banquets.
They devour the houses of widows and, as a pretext,
recite lengthy prayers.
They will receive a very severe condemnation.”He sat down opposite the treasury
and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury.
Many rich people put in large sums.
A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents.
Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them,
“Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more
than all the other contributors to the treasury.
For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth,
but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had,
her whole livelihood.”

SOMO LA KWANZA
2 TIMOTHEO 4:1—8

Ifanye kazi ya uinjilishaji... Bwana atanizawadia taji la utakatifu.

Somo katika barua ya pili ya Mtakatifu Paulo kwa Timotheo

Mwanangu mpendwa: Ninakusihi sana mbele ya Mungu na Kristo Yesu atakayekuja kuwahukumu wazima na wafu, na kwa ujio wake na ufalme wake: litangaze neno kwa haraka, ndani ya msimu na hata nje ya msimu, sisitiza, hakikisha onya, himiza kwa uvumilivu wote na elimu. Maana wakati utakuja ambapo wa watashindwa kustahimili mafundisho ya kweli, watajikusanya makundi makundi kwa walimu walio kadiri ya tamaa zao na kuwasha masikio yao. Basi, watakataa kusikiliza maneno ya kweli, wataelekea hadithi za uongo. Wewe, lakini, uwe macho katika mambo yote, vumilia mateso, fanya kazi ya mhubiri Injili, timiza wajibu wako. Kwa maana mimi nipo katika kutolewa sadaka, na wakati wa kufa kwangu umekaribia. Nimepigana vita vyema, nimemaliza safari, nimeihifadhi imani. Inayobakia ndiyo taji la uadilifu atakalonipa Bwana, hakimu wa haki, siku ile, lakini si mimi peke yangu, ila na wale wote wanaotarajia ujio wake.

Wakati ule: Yesu, alipokuwa akifundisha hekaluni, aliwaambia watu wote, "Jihadharini na Waandishi, wapenda kuvaa kanzu ndefu wanapotembea, kusalimiwa masokoni, katika masinagogi,na kukaa katika viti vya heshima karamuni. Hula riziki ya wajane, wakajisingizia kuwa watu wa sala nyingi. Hukumu yao itakuwa kali sana." Aliketi kulielekea sanduku la hazina, akiwaangalia watu wakitia fedha katika sanduku. Matajiri wengi walitia fedha nyingi. Akajmwanamke, mjane, fukara, akatia sarafu mbili, kiasi cha nusu shilingi. Hapo Yesu aliwaita wafuasi wake, akawaambia, "Amin, nawaambieni, huyu mjane fukara ametia zaidi kuliko wote waliotia kitu katika sanduku la hazina. Kwa maana hao wote walitia iliyowazidi, bali huyu, katika ufukara wake ametia yote aliyokuwa nayo, ndiyo riziki yake yote.

Readings for the Memorial of Saint Boniface, Bishop and Martyr

Reading 1
2 Timothy 3:10-17

You have followed my teaching, way of life,
purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions,
and sufferings, such as happened to me
in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra,
persecutions that I endured.
Yet from all these things the Lord delivered me.
In fact, all who want to live religiously in Christ Jesus
will be persecuted.
But wicked people and charlatans will go from bad to worse,
deceivers and deceived.
But you, remain faithful to what you have learned and believed,
because you know from whom you learned it,
and that from infancy you have known the sacred Scriptures,
which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation
through faith in Christ Jesus.
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching,
for refutation, for correction,
and for training in righteousness,
so that one who belongs to God may be competent,
equipped for every good work.

The Word of God.

R. O Lord, great peace have they who love your law.
Permanence is your word’s chief trait;
each of your just ordinances is everlasting.
R. O Lord, great peace have they who love your law.
Princes persecute me without cause
but my heart stands in awe of your word.
R. O Lord, great peace have they who love your law.
Those who love your law have great peace,
and for them there is no stumbling block.
R. O Lord, great peace have they who love your law.

Gospel
Mark 12:35-37

As Jesus was teaching in the temple area he said,
“How do the scribes claim that the Christ is the son of David?
David himself, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said:
The Lord said to my lord,
‘Sit at my right hand
until I place your enemies under your feet.’
David himself calls him ‘lord’;
so how is he his son?”
The great crowd heard this with delight.

Neno la Mungu halifungwi. K**a tulikufa naye, tutaishi pamoja naye.

Somo katika barua ya pili ya Mtakatifu Paulo kwa Timotheo

Mwanangu: Kumbuka ya kuwa Yesu Kristo wa ukoo wa Daudí amefufuka katika wafu kadiri ya Injili yangu. Kwa ajili yake navumilia mateso, hata nikifungwa minyororo k**a mvunja sheria. Neno la Mungu halikufungwa. Kwa hiyo navumilia yote kwa ajili ya wateule, ili nao wapate wokovu katika Kristo Yesu, ndio utukufu wa milele. Neno hili linasadikika: Tukifa pamoja na Kristo, tutaishi pia pamoja naye. Tukivumilia pamoja naye, tutatawala pamoja naye. Tukimkana yeye atatukana. Hata tukiacha kumwamini, yeye ni mwaminifu daima, kwani hawezi kujikana mwenyewe. Uwakumbushe watu, tena uwaonye mbele ya Mungu wasigombanie maneno.

Wakati ule: Mmojawapo wa Waandishi, alimwuliza [Yesu], “Amri ipi ni ya kwanza katika amri zote?" Yesu akamjibu, "Ya.kwanza ndiyo hii: Sikiliza, ee Israeli! Bwana Mungu wetu ni Bwana mmoja tu! Nawe mpende Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote, na kwa roho yako yote, na kwa akili zako zote, na kwa nguvu zako zote. Na ya pili ndiyo hii: Mpende mwenzako k**a unavyojipenda mwenyewe.' Hakuna amri nyingine iliyo kubwa kuliko hizi." Yule mwandishi akamwambia, "Vyema, mwalimu, uliyosema ni kweli. Yeye ni mmoja, wala hakuna mwingine ila yeye. Na kumpenda yeye kwa moyo wako wote, na kwa akili yako yote, na kwa nguvụ zako zote, na kumpenda jirani k**a unavyojipenda mwenyewe' ni muhimu kuliko sadaka za kuteketeza na dhabihu zote pia." Yesu alipoona jinsi alivyojibu kwa hekima, alimwambia, Wewe haupo mbali na ufalme wa Mungu." Toka hapo hakuthubutu tena mtu kumhoji.

2Tim. 1:1-3, 6-12

Paulo, mtume wa Kristo Yesu, kwa mapenzi ya Mungu; kwa ajili ya ahadi ya uzima ulio katika Kristo Yesu; kwa Timotheo, mwanangu mpendwa. Neema na iwe kwako, na rehema, na amani, zitokazo kwa Mungu Baba na kwa Kristo Yesu Bwana wetu.

Namshukuru Mungu, nimwabuduye kwa dhamiri safi tangu zamani za wazee wangu, k**a vile nikukumbukavyo wewe daima, katika kuomba kwangu usiku na mchana.

Kwa sababu hiyo nakukumbusha, uichochee karama ya Mungu, iliyo ndani yako kwa kuwekewa mikono yangu. Maana Mungu hakutupa roho ya woga, bali ya nguvu na ya upendo na ya moyo wa kiasi. Basi usiuonee haya ushuhuda wa Bwana wetu, wala usinionee haya mimi mfungwa wake, bali uvumilie mabaya pamoja nami kwa ajili ya Injili, kwa kadiri ya nguvu ya Mungu; ambaye alituokoa akatuita kwa mwito mtakatifu, si kwa kadiri ya matendo yetu sisi, bali kwa kadiri ya makusudi yake yeye na neema yake. Neema hiyo tulipewa katika Kristo Yesu tangu milele, na sasa inadhihirishwa kwa kufunuliwa kwake Mwokozi wetu Kristo Yesu; aliyebatili mauti, na kuufunua uzima na kutokuharibika, kwa ile Injili; ambayo kwa ajili ya hiyo naliwekwa niwe mhubiri na mtume na mwalimu.

Kwa sababu hiyo nimepatikana na mateso haya, wala sitahari; kwa maana namjua yeye niliyemwamini, na kusadiki ya kwamba aweza kukilinda kile nilichokiweka amana kwake hata siku ile.

Masadukayo, watu wasemao ya kwamba hakuna kiyama, walimwendea Yesu, wakamwuliza na kusema, Mwalimu, Musa alituandikia ya kwamba ndugu ya mtu akifa, akamwacha mkewe wala hana mtoto, ndugu yake amtwae yule mkewe akampatie ndugu yake mzao. Basi kulikuwa na ndugu saba; wa kwanza akatwaa mke, akafa, asiache mzao. Wa pili naye akamtwaa akafa, wala yeye hakuacha mzao. Na wa tatu kadhalika; hata na wote saba, wasiache mzao. Mwisho wa wote yule mwanamke akafa naye. Basi, katika kiyama atakuwa mke wa yupi katika hao? Maana wote saba walikuwa naye.

Yesu akajibu, akawaambia, Je! hampotei kwa sababu hii, kwa kuwa hamyajui maandiko wala uweza wa Mungu? Kwa maana watakapofufuka katika wafu, hawaoi wala hawaolewi, bali huwa k**a malaika walioko mbinguni. Na kwa habari ya wafu ya kwamba wafufuliwa, hamjasoma katika kitabu cha Musa, Sura ya Kijiti, jinsi Mungu alivyomwambia, akisema, Mimi ni Mungu wa Ibrahi- mu, na Mungu wa Isaka, na Mungu wa Yakobo? Yeye si Mungu wa wafu, bali wa walio hai. Hivyo mwapotea sana.

2 Timothy 2:8-15

Beloved:
Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David:
such is my Gospel, for which I am suffering,
even to the point of chains, like a criminal.
But the word of God is not chained.
Therefore, I bear with everything for the sake of those who are chosen,
so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus,
together with eternal glory.
This saying is trustworthy:

If we have died with him
we shall also live with him;
if we persevere
we shall also reign with him.
But if we deny him
he will deny us.
If we are unfaithful
he remains faithful,
for he cannot deny himself.

Remind people of these things
and charge them before God to stop disputing about words.
This serves no useful purpose since it harms those who listen.
Be eager to present yourself as acceptable to God,
a workman who causes no disgrace,
imparting the word of truth without deviation.

The word of God.


Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 25:4-5ab, 8-9, 10 and 14

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your mind,
and with all your strength.
The second is this:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
There is no other commandment greater than these."
The scribe said to him, "Well said, teacher.
You are right in saying,
He is One and there is no other than he.
And to love him with all your heart,
with all your understanding,
with all your strength,
and to love your neighbor as yourself
is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."
And when Jesus saw that he answered with understanding,
he said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God."
And no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Memorial of Saint Charles Lwanga and Companions, Martyrs

Reading 1
2 Timothy 1:1-3, 6-12

Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God
for the promise of life in Christ Jesus,
to Timothy, my dear child:
grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father
and Christ Jesus our Lord.

I am grateful to God,
whom I worship with a clear conscience as my ancestors did,
as I remember you constantly in my prayers, night and day.

For this reason, I remind you to stir into flame
the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands.
For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice
but rather of power and love and self-control.
So do not be ashamed of your testimony to our Lord,
nor of me, a prisoner for his sake;
but bear your share of hardship for the Gospel
with the strength that comes from God.

He saved us and called us to a holy life,
not according to our works
but according to his own design
and the grace bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before time began,
but now made manifest
through the appearance of our savior Christ Jesus,
who destroyed death and brought life and immortality
to light through the Gospel,
for which I was appointed preacher and Apostle and teacher.
On this account I am suffering these things;
but I am not ashamed,
for I know him in whom I have believed
and am confident that he is able to guard
what has been entrusted to me until that day.

The word of God


Responsorial Psalm

Gospel
Mark 12:18-27

Some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection,
came to Jesus and put this question to him, saying,
"Teacher, Moses wrote for us,
If someone's brother dies, leaving a wife but no child,
his brother must take the wife
and raise up descendants for his brother.
Now there were seven brothers.
The first married a woman and died, leaving no descendants.
So the second brother married her and died, leaving no descendants,
and the third likewise.
And the seven left no descendants.
Last of all the woman also died.
At the resurrection when they arise whose wife will she be?
For all seven had been married to her."
Jesus said to them, "Are you not misled
because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
When they rise from the dead,
they neither marry nor are given in marriage,
but they are like the angels in heaven.
As for the dead being raised,
have you not read in the Book of Moses,
in the passage about the bush, how God told him,
I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob?
He is not God of the dead but of the living.
You are greatly misled."

You turn man back to dust,
saying, “Return, O children of men.”
For a thousand years in your sight
are as yesterday, now that it is past,
or as a watch of the night.
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Seventy is the sum of our years,
or eighty, if we are strong,
And most of them are fruitless toil,
for they pass quickly and we drift away.
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Fill us at daybreak with your kindness,
that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days.
Let your work be seen by your servants
and your glory by their children.
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.

Alleluia
Ephesians 1:17-18
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
enlighten the eyes of our hearts,
that we may know what is the hope
that belongs to his call.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel
Mark 12:13-17

Some Pharisees and Herodians were sent
to Jesus to ensnare him in his speech.
They came and said to him,
“Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man
and that you are not concerned with anyone’s opinion.
You do not regard a person’s status
but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?
Should we pay or should we not pay?”
Knowing their hypocrisy he said to them,
“Why are you testing me?
Bring me a denarius to look at.”
They brought one to him and he said to them,
“Whose image and inscription is this?”
They replied to him, “Caesar’s.”
So Jesus said to them,
“Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar
and to God what belongs to God.”
They were utterly amazed at him.

Memorial of Saint Justin, Martyr

Reading 1
2 Peter 1:2-7

Beloved:
May grace and peace be yours in abundance
through knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

His divine power has bestowed on us
everything that makes for life and devotion,
through the knowledge of him
who called us by his own glory and power.
Through these, he has bestowed on us
the precious and very great promises,
so that through them you may come to share in the divine nature,
after escaping from the corruption that is in the world
because of evil desire.
For this very reason,
make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue,
virtue with knowledge, knowledge with self-control,
self-control with endurance, endurance with devotion,
devotion with mutual affection, mutual affection with love.


Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 91:1-2, 14-15b, 15c-16

R. (see 2b) In you, my God, I place my trust.
You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
Say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
R. In you, my God, I place my trust.
Because he clings to me, I will deliver him;
I will set him on high because he acknowledges my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in distress.
R. In you, my God, I place my trust.
I will deliver him and glorify him;
with length of days I will gratify him
and will show him my salvation.
R. In you, my God, I place my trust.


Alleluia
See Revelation 1:5ab
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Jesus Christ, you are the faithful witness,
the firstborn of the dead;
you have loved us and freed us from our sins by your Blood.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.


Gospel
Mark 12:1-12

Jesus began to speak to the chief priests, the scribes,
and the elders in parables.
"A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it,
dug a wine press, and built a tower.
Then he leased it to tenant farmers and left on a journey.
At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants
to obtain from them some of the produce of the vineyard.
But they seized him, beat him,
and sent him away empty-handed.
Again he sent them another servant.
And that one they beat over the head and treated shamefully.
He sent yet another whom they killed.
So, too, many others; some they beat, others they killed.
He had one other to send, a beloved son.
He sent him to them last of all, thinking, 'They will respect my son.'
But those tenants said to one another, 'This is the heir.
Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
So they seized him and killed him,
and threw him out of the vineyard.
What then will the owner of the vineyard do?
He will come, put the tenants to death,
and give the vineyard to others.
Have you not read this Scripture passage:

The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
by the Lord has this been done,
and it is wonderful in our eyes?"

They were seeking to arrest him, but they feared the crowd,
for they realized that he had addressed the parable to them.
So they left him and went away.
