Book of Sirach

Sir 4,12-22.
12 He who loves her loves life; those who seek her out win her favor.
13 He who holds her fast inherits glory; wherever he dwells, the LORD bestows blessings.
14 Those who serve her serve the Holy One; those who love her the LORD loves.
15 He who obeys her judges nations; he who hearkens to her dwells in her inmost chambers.
16 If one trusts her, he will possess her; his descendants too will inherit her.
17 She walks with him as a stranger, and at first she puts him to the test; Fear and dread she brings upon him and tries him with her discipline; With her precepts she puts him to the proof, until his heart is fully with her.
18 Then she comes back to bring him happiness and reveal her secrets to him.
19 But if he fails her, she will abandon him and deliver him into the hands of despoilers.
20 Use your time well; guard yourself from evil, and bring upon yourself no shame.
21 There is a sense of shame laden with guilt, and a shame that merits honor and respect.
22 Show no favoritism to your own discredit; let no one intimidate you to your own downfall.

Psalms

Ps 119(118),165.168.171.172.174.175.
165 Those who love your law have great peace,
And for them there is no stumbling block.
168 I keep your precepts and your decrees,
For all my ways are before you.
171 My lips pour forth your praise,
because you teach me your statutes.
172 May my tongue sing of your promise,
for all your commands are just.
174 I long for your salvation, O LORD,
and your law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live to praise you,
and may your ordinances help me.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark

Mark 9,38-40.
38 John said to Jesus, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us."
39 Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me.
40 For whoever is not against us is for us.
