30th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B
Mass Readings for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B
- First Reading – Jeremiah 31:7-9: The LORD promises to bring back the remnant of Israel from the north, comforting and guiding them as a father, ensuring a safe return for all, including the vulnerable.
- Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 126: The LORD restored Zion’s captives, filling us with joy. Nations recognized God’s deeds. We pray for renewed fortunes, knowing those who sow in tears will reap in joy, bringing in their harvest.
- Second Reading – Hebrews 5:1-6: High priests are chosen from among men to offer sacrifices for sins. Christ, called by God, is a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek, not by self-glorification.
- Gospel – Mark 10:46-52: Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, called out to Jesus for mercy. Despite being told to be quiet, he persisted. Jesus healed him, saying his faith had saved him. Bartimaeus then followed Jesus.
The 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B highlights God’s love and mercy. The readings show how God listens to our cries and heals our brokenness. Here are some themes for this Sunday: trusting in God’s plan.
