Optional Memorial of St. Jerome Emiliani; St. Josephine Bakhita, Virgin
Wickedness corrupts those who strike out against the righteous, for theirs is a life spent fearing the glory of the Lord. Many will suffer because of the ignorance of a few. Keep your faithful in your care during these difficult times Lord, for the forces of evil are legion, but your faithful are resolute. Amen.
Hebrews 13:1-8
Psalms 27:1, 3, 5, 8B-9ABC
Mark 6:14-29
