First reading
Reading of the prophecy of Jonah (3,1-5.10):
In those days, the word of the Lord came to Jonah: “Get up and go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you.”
Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, as the Lord commanded. Nineveh was a big city, it took three days to explore it.
Jonah began to enter the city and walked for a day, proclaiming: "Within forty days Nineveh will be destroyed!"
The Ninevites believed in God; They proclaimed the fast and dressed in sackcloth, great and small.
And God saw his works, his conversion from evil life; God felt sorry for and repented of the catastrophe with which he had threatened Nineveh, and did not execute it.
Word of God
Psalm
Psalm 24:4-5ab.6-7bc.8-9
R/. Lord, teach me your ways
Lord, teach me your ways,
instruct me in your paths:
make him walk faithfully;
teach me, because you are my God and Savior. R/.
Remember, Lord, that your tenderness
and your mercy are eternal;
remember me with mercy,
for your goodness, Lord. R/.
The Lord is good and upright,
and teach the way to sinners;
makes the humble walk in righteousness,
He teaches his way to the humble. R/.
Second reading
Reading from the first letter of the apostle Saint Paul to the Corinthians (7:29-31):
I say this, brothers: the moment is urgent. The solution is that those who have women live as if they did not have one; those who cry, as if they did not cry; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy, as if they did not possess; those who negotiate in the world, as if they did not enjoy it: because the representation of this world ends.
Word of God
Gospel
Reading of the holy gospel according to Saint Mark (1,14-20):
When John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee to proclaim the Gospel of God.
It said: "The deadline has come, the kingdom of God is near: convert and believe in the Gospel."
As he passed by the Lake of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew, who were fishermen and were casting their flakes into the lake.
Jesus said to them, "Come with me and I will make you fishers of men."
They immediately left the nets and followed him. A little further on he saw James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John, who were in the boat mending the nets. He called them, they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the laborers and went with him.
