First Reading - Jer 23:1-6
“Woe to the shepherds who
mislead and scatter the flock
of my pasture,” says the Lord.
Therefore, thus says the Lord,
the God of Israel, against the
shepherds who shepherd my
people: “You have scattered
my sheep and driven them
away. You have not cared for
them, but I will take care to
punish your evil deeds.
I myself will gather the remnant of my flock from all the lands to which I have driven them and bring them back to their meadow; there they shall increase and multiply. I will appoint shepherds for them who will shepherd them so that they need no longer fear and tremble; and none shall be missing,” says the Lord.
“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “when I will raise up a righteous shoot to David; as king he shall reign and govern wisely, he shall do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah shall be saved, Israel shall dwell in security. This is the name they give him: ‘The Lord, our justice.’ ”

Responsorial Psalm - Ps 23
R –The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall
want!
* The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. In
verdant pastures he gives me
repose; beside restful waters
he leads me; he refreshes my
soul. R.
* He guides me in right
paths for his name’s sake. Even
though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at
my side with your rod and your
staff that give me courage. R.
* You spread the table before
me in the sight of my foes; you
anoint my head with oil; my
cup
overflows. R.
* Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of
my life; and I shall dwell in the
house of the Lord for years to
come. R.
Second Reading - Eph 2:13-18
Brothers and sisters:
In
Christ Jesus you, who once
were far off, have become
near by the blood of Christ.
For he is our peace, he
who made both one and broke
down the dividing wall of enmity, through his flesh, abolishing the law with its commandments and legal claims,
that he might create in himself
one new person in place of the
two, thus establishing peace,
and might reconcile both with
God, in one body, through
the cross, putting that enmity
to death by it. He came and
preached peace to you who
were far off and peace to those
who were near, for through
him we both have access in one
Spirit to the Father.
Gospel Acclamation
Alleluia! Alleluia!
“My sheep hear my voice,”
says the Lord;
“I know them, and they
follow me.”
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Gospel - Mk 6:30-34
The apostles gathered
together with Jesus and reported all they had done
and taught. He said to them,
“Come away by yourselves
to a deserted place and rest a
while.”
People were coming
and going in great numbers,
and they had no opportunity
even to eat. So they went off
in the boat by themselves to a
deserted place.
People saw them leaving and many came to know
about it. They hastened there
on foot from all the towns and
arrived at the place before
them. When he disembarked
and saw the vast crowd, his
heart was moved with pity
for them, for they were like
sheep without a shepherd; and
he began to teach them many
things.
