BROTHERS, WE WILL RETURN TO HEALTH, IT IS NOT OUR WILL TO GO. GOD'S WILL BE DONE, WHO WILL CALL US AT THE RIGHT TIME.

We look forward to new heavens and a new earth. Reading of the Second Letter of Saint Peter 3,12-15a.17-18 Dearest ones, 12 You eagerly await the coming of the Day of God, when the burning skies will melt, and the elements, consumed by fire, will merge? 13 What do we hope for, according to his promise, They are new heavens and a new earth, where justice will dwell. 14 Dearest ones, living in this hope, strive so that he finds you in a pure and spotless life in peace. 15a Also consider it as salvation the longsuffering of our Lord. 17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this in advance, beware, so that it doesn't happen that, led by the deceit of these wicked, you lose your own firmness. 18 Rather seek to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory, from now until the day of eternity. Amen. Word of the Lord. Responsorial Psalm Ps 89(90),2.3-4.10.14.16 (R. 1) A. O Lord, you have always been a refuge for us! two Long before mountains were made † or the earth and the world were formed, * forever and ever you are God. A. 3 You return all mortals to dust, * when you say: "Return to the dust, children of Adam!" 4 For a thousand years are like yesterday to you, * like a vigil of a night that passed. A. 10 Our life can last seventy years, * the strongest may reach eighty; most of it is illusion and suffering: * They pass quickly and so do we. A. 14 Satisfy us in the morning with your love, * and we will rejoice with joy all day long! 16 Show your work to your servants, * and reveal your glory to their children! A. Acclamation to the Gospel Cf. Eph 1,17-18 R. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. V. May the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ give us knowledge the Spirit, so that you may know hope reserved for you, as an inheritance! GOSPEL Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's. Proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Mark 12,13-17 In that time, 13 the authorities sent some Pharisees and some supporters of Herod, to catch Jesus in some word. 14 When they arrived, they said to Jesus: "Master, we know that you are true, and you don't give preference to anyone. Indeed, you do not look at the appearance of man, but you teach, in truth, the way of God. Tell us: Is it lawful or not to pay taxes to Caesar? Should we pay or not?” 15 Jesus saw their hypocrisy and responded: "Why do you tempt me? Bring me a coin so I can see it." 16 They took the coin, and Jesus asked: "Whose figure and inscription what are on that coin?" They answered: "Caesar's". 17 Then Jesus said: "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God what is God's." And they were in awe of Jesus. Word of Salvation.
