Of David
131:1 Yahweh, my heart has no lofty ambitions, my eyes do not look too high. I am not concerned with great affairs or marvels beyond my scope.
131:2 Enough for me to keep my soul tranquil and quiet like a child in its mother’s arms, as content as a child that has been weaned.
131:3 Israel, rely on Yahweh, now and for always!
Gospel : Mk 4, 21-25
Parable of the lamp
4:21 He also said to them, ‘Would you bring in a lamp to put it under a tub or under the bed? Surely you will put it on the lamp-stand?
4:22 For there is nothing hidden but it must be disclosed, nothing kept secret except to be brought to light.
4:23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen to this.’
Parable of the measure
4:24 He also said to them, ‘Take notice of what you are hearing. The amount you measure out is the amount you will be given – and more besides;
4:25 for the man who has will be given more; from the man who has not, even what he has will be taken away.’
