    Memorial of Saints Timothy and Titus, bishops

    Lectionary: 520/316

    Reading 1 2 tm 1:1-8

    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.
    I yearn to see you again, recalling your tears,
    so that I may be filled with joy,
    as I recall your sincere faith
    that first lived in your grandmother Lois
    and in your mother Eunice
    and that I am confident lives also in you.

    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.

    or Ti 1:1-5

    Paul, a slave of God and Apostle of Jesus Christ
    for the sake of the faith of God’s chosen ones
    and the recognition of religious truth,
    in the hope of eternal life
    that God, who does not lie, promised before time began,
    who indeed at the proper time revealed his word
    in the proclamation with which I was entrusted
    by the command of God our savior,
    to Titus, my true child in our common faith:
    grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our savior.

    For this reason I left you in Crete
    so that you might set right what remains to be done
    and appoint presbyters in every town, as I directed you.

    Responsorial Psalm Ps 96:1-2a, 2b-3, 7-8a, 10

    Sing to the LORD; bless his name.

    Announce his salvation, day after day.

    Give to the LORD, you families of nations,

    Gospel Mk 3:20-21

    Jesus came with his disciples into the house.
    Again the crowd gathered,
    making it impossible for them even to eat.
    When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him,
    for they said, "He is out of his mind."
