Reading 1 (Gn 2:18-24)
Reading 2 (Heb 2:9-11)
The LORD God said: "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a
suitable partner for him." So the LORD God formed out of the ground
various wild animals and various birds of the air, and he brought them to
the man to see what he would call them; whatever the man called each of
them would be its name. The man gave names to all the cattle, all the
birds of the air, and all wild animals; but none proved to be the suitable
partner for the man. So the LORD God cast a deep sleep on the man, and
while he was asleep, he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place
with flesh. The LORD God then built up into a woman the rib that he had
taken from the man. When he brought her to the man, the man said:
"This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall
be called 'woman, ' for out of 'her man' this one has been taken." That is
why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the
two of them become one flesh.
Brothers and sisters: He "for a little
while" was made "lower than the
angels, " that by the grace of God
he might taste death for everyone.
For it was fitting that he, for whom
and through whom all things exist,
in bringing many children to glory,
should make the leader to their
salvation perfect through suffering.
He who consecrates and those who
are being consecrated all have one
origin. Therefore, he is not
ashamed to call them 'brothers.'
Gospel (Mk 10:2-16)
The Pharisees approached Jesus and asked, "Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?" They were testing him.
He said to them in reply, "What did Moses command you?" They replied, "Moses permitted a husband to write a
bill of divorce and dismiss her." But Jesus told them, "Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this
commandment. But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall
leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two
but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." In the house the disciples
again questioned Jesus about this. He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits
adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery." And people
were bringing children to him that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this he
became indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God
belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not
enter it." Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them.
