First Reading - Jer 31:7-9
Thus says the Lord: “Shout with joy for Jacob, exult at the head of the nations; proclaim your praise and say: The Lord has delivered his people, the remnant of Israel. Behold, I will bring them back from the land of the north; I will gather them from the ends of the world, with the blind and the lame in their midst, the mothers and those with child.
They shall return as an immense throng. They departed in tears, but I will console them and guide them; I will lead them to brooks of water, on a level road, so that none shall stumble.
For I am a father to Israel, Ephraim is my first-born.”
Responsorial Psalm - Ps 125
R –The Lord has done great
things for us; we are filled
with joy!
* When the Lord brought
back the captives of Zion, we
were like men dreaming. Then
our mouth was filled with
laughter, and our tongue with
rejoicing. R.
* Then they said among the
nations, “The Lord has done
great things for them.” The
Lord has done great things for
us; we are glad indeed. R.
* Restore our fortunes, O
Lord, like the torrents in the
southern desert. Those that
sow in tears shall reap rejoicing. R.
* Although they go forth
weeping, carrying the seed
to be sown, they shall come
back rejoicing, carrying their
sheaves. R.
Second Reading - Heb 5:1-6
Brothers and sisters:
Every high priest is taken
from among men and made
their representative before
God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal
patiently with the ignorant and
erring, for he himself is beset
by weakness and so, for this
reason, must make sin offerings for himself as well as for
the people.
No one takes this honor
upon himself but only when
called by God, just as Aaron
was. In the same way, it was
not Christ who glorified himself in becoming high priest; but rather the One who said to
him: “You are my son: this day
I have begotten you.” Just as he
says in another place: “You are
a priest forever, according to
the order of Melchizedek.”

Gospel - Mk 10:46-52
As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a
sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a
blind man, the son of Timaeus,
sat by the roadside begging.
On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to
cry out and say, “Jesus, son of
David, have pity on me!” Many
rebuked him, telling him to be
silent. But he kept calling out
all the more, “Son of David,
have pity on me!”
Jesus stopped and said,
“Call him.” So they called
the blind man, saying to him,
“Take courage; get up, Jesus is
calling you.” Bartimaeus threw
aside his cloak, sprang up, and
came to Jesus. Jesus said to him
in reply, “What do you want
me to do for you?” The blind
man replied to him, “Master,
I want to see.” Jesus told him,
“Go your way; your faith has
saved you.” Immediately the
man received his sight and followed Jesus on the way.
