Friday of the Seventh Week in Ordinary Time

Gospel : Mark 10:1-12
1 He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.
2 Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"
3 He answered, "What did Moses command you?"
4 They said, "Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her."
5 But Jesus said to them, "For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.
6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.
7 For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,
8 and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."
10 In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.
11 He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
12 If a woman herself divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."

Sirach 6:5-17 +
5
Pleasant speech multiplies friends,
and gracious lips, friendly greetings.
6
Let those who are friendly to you be many,
but one in a thousand your confidant.
7
When you gain friends, gain them through testing,
and do not be quick to trust them.
8
For there are friends when it suits them,
but they will not be around in time of trouble.
9
Another is a friend who turns into an enemy,
and tells of the quarrel to your disgrace.
10
Others are friends, table companions,
but they cannot be found in time of affliction.
11
When things go well, they are your other self,
and lord it over your servants.
12
If disaster comes upon you, they turn against you
and hide themselves.
13
Stay away from your enemies,
and be on guard with your friends.
14
Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter;
whoever finds one finds a treasure.
15
Faithful friends are beyond price,
no amount can balance their worth.
16
Faithful friends are life-saving medicine;
those who fear God will find them.
17
Those who fear the Lord enjoy stable friendship,
for as they are, so will their neighbors be.
