Daily Mass Readings for January 16, 2025: Gospel — Mc 1, 40-45

⁷ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks! ⁸ Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness. ⁹ There your fathers tested me and tried me, and they saw my works for forty years. 1 ⁰ Therefore, I became provoked at that generation and said, ‘Their hearts are always wandering, and they have not known my ways.’ 1 ¹ As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter my rest!’” 1 ² See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil, unbelieving heart that forsakes the living God. 1 ³ But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called “Today,” that none of you may become hardened by sin’s deception. 1 ⁴ For we have become partners with Christ, if in fact we hold our initial confidence firm until the end.
