Psalm : Ps 80 (79)
R// Let your face shine, Lord, and we shall be saved.
Psalm
80:1 Shepherd of Israel, listen, you who lead Joseph like a flock; enthroned on the cherubs, shine
80:2 on Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh;[*a] rouse your strength, come to us and save us!
80:3 Yahweh Sabaoth, bring us back, let your face smile on us and we shall be safe.
80:4 Yahweh Sabaoth, how much longer will you smoulder at your people’s prayer?
80:5 Having fed us on the bread of tears, having made us drink them in such measure,
80:6 you now let our neighbours quarrel over us and our enemies deride us.
80:7 Yahweh Sabaoth, bring us back, let your face smile on us and we shall be safe.
80:8 There was a vine: you uprooted it from Egypt; to plant it, you drove out other nations,
80:9 you cleared a space where it could grow, it took root and filled the whole country.
80:10 It covered the mountains with its shade, the cedars of God with its branches,
80:11 its tendrils extended to the sea, its offshoots all the way to the river.[*b]
80:12 Why have you destroyed its fences? Now anyone can go and steal its grapes,
80:13 the forest boar can ravage it and wild animals eat it.
80:14 Please, Yahweh Sabaoth, relent! Look down from heaven, look at this vine, visit it,
80:15 protect what your own right hand has planted.
80:16 They threw it on the fire like dung, but one look of reproof from you and they will be doomed.
80:17 May your hand protect the man at your right, the son of man who has been authorised by you.
80:18 We shall never turn from you again; our life renewed, we shall invoke your name.
80:19 Yahweh Sabaoth, bring us back, let your face smile on us and we shall be safe.
Gospel : Mk 3, 20-21
His relatives are concerned about Jesus
3:20 He went home again, and once more such a crowd collected that they could not even have a meal.
3:21 When his relatives heard of this, they set out to take charge of him, convinced he was out of his mind.
