Daily Mass Readings for June 09, 2024: Gospel — Mc 3, 20-35

⁹ But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 1 ⁰ The man replied, “I heard you moving about in the orchard, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.” 1 ¹ And the Lord God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” 1 ² The man said, “The woman whom you gave me, she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it.” 1 ³ So the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman replied, “The serpent tricked me, and I ate.” 1 ⁴ The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all the cattle and all the living creatures of the field! On your belly you will crawl and dust you will eat all the days of your life. 1 ⁵ And I will put hostility between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring; he will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.”

1 ³ But since we have the same spirit of faith as that shown in what has been written, “I believed; therefore I spoke,” we also believe, therefore we also speak. 1 ⁴ We do so because we know that the one who raised up Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus and will bring us with you into his presence. 1 ⁵ For all these things are for your sake, so that the grace that is including more and more people may cause thanksgiving to increase to the glory of God. 1 ⁶ Therefore we do not despair, but even if our physical body is wearing away, our inner person is being renewed day by day. 1 ⁷ For our momentary, light suffering is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison 1 ⁸ because we are not looking at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen. For what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal. 5 :¹ For we know that if our earthly house, the tent we live in, is dismantled, we have a building from God, a house not built by human hands, that is eternal in the heavens.
