Gospel : Mark 9:41-50

41 For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ's, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.

42 "Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.

43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,

44 'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'

45 If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched?

46 'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'

47 If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God's Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire,

48 'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'

49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.

50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

Sirarch 5:1-8 +

1 Do not rely on your wealth,
or say, "I have the power."

2 Do not rely on your strength
in following the desires of your heart.

3 Do not say, "Who can prevail against me?"
for the LORD will exact punishment.

4 Do not say, "I have sinned, yet what has happened to me?"
for the LORD is slow to anger!

5 Do not be so confident of forgiveness
that you add sin upon sin.

6 Do not say, "His mercy is great;
my many sins he will forgive."
For mercy and anger alike are with him;
his wrath comes to rest on the wicked.

7 Do not delay turning back to the LORD,
do not put it off day after day.
For suddenly his wrath will come forth;
at the time of vengeance, you will perish.

8 Do not rely on deceitful wealth,
for it will be no help on the day of wrath.
