July 14, 2024 — Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time — May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ enlighten the eyes of our hearts, that we may know what is the hope that belongs to our call — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark (Mk 6: 7-13)

Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two
and gave them authority over unclean spirits.
He instructed them to take nothing for the journey
but a walking stick —
no food, no sack, no money in their belts.
They were, however, to wear sandals
but not a second tunic.
He said to them,

“Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave.
Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you,
leave there and shake the dust off your feet
in testimony against them.”

So they went off and preached repentance.
The Twelve drove out many demons,
and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.
