Memorial of Saint Boniface, Bishop and Martyr

Gospel: Mark 12:1-12
1 He began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
2 When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 Again he sent another; and they killed him; and many others, beating some, and killing some.
6 Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
7 But those farmers said amongst themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
8 They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Haven't you even read this Scripture:
'The stone which the builders rejected,
the same was made the head of the corner.
11 This was from the Lord,
it is marvellous in our eyes'?"☆
12 They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him, and went away.
☆12:11: Psalm 118:22-23

Tobit 1:3; 2:1b-8
1：3 I Tobit walked in the ways of truth and righteousness all the days of my life, and I did many alms deeds to my brethren and my nation, who went with me into the land of the Assyrians, to Nineveh.
2：1b in the feast of Pentecost, which is the holy feast of the seven weeks, there was a good dinner prepared me, and I sat down to eat.
2 And I saw abundance of meat, and I said to my son, Go and bring what poor man soever you shall find of our brethren, who is mindful of the Lord; and behold, I wait for you.
3 And he came, and said, Father, one of our race is strangled, and is cast out in the marketplace.
4 And before I had tasted anything, I sprang up, and took him up into a chamber until the sun was set.
5 And I returned, and washed myself, and ate my bread in heaviness,
6 and remembered the prophecy of Amos, as he said,
☆Your feasts shall be turned into mourning,
And all your mirth into lamentation.
7 And I wept: and when the sun was set, I went and made a grave, and buried him.
8 And my neighbours mocked me, and said, He is no longer afraid to be put to death for this matter: and yet he fled away: and, behold, he buries the dead again.
☆2:6: Amos viii. 10.
