1st Reading – Isaiah 42:1-7

¹ Behold my servant: I will uphold him. My elect: my soul delighteth in him. I have given my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

² He shall not cry, nor have respect to person: neither shall his voice be heard abroad.

³ The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

⁴ He shall not be sad nor troublesome till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law.

⁵ Thus saith the Lord God that created the heavens and stretched them out: that established the earth and the things that spring out of it: that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereon.

⁶ I, the Lord have called you in justice, and taken you by the hand, and preserved you. And I have given you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles:

⁷ That you might open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 27:1, 2, 3, 13-14

R. (1a) The Lord is my light and my salvation.

¹ The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the protector of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.

² Whilst the wicked draw near against me
to eat my flesh,
My enemies that trouble me
have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.

³ If armies in camp should stand together against me
my heart shall not fear;
If a battle should rise up against me,
in this will I be confident.
R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.

¹³ I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living
¹⁴ Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let your heart take courage, and wait for the Lord.
R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Verse Before The Gospel

Hail to you, our King;
you alone are compassionate with our faults.

Gospel – John 12:1-11

¹ Jesus therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life.

² And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him.

³ Mary, therefore, took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

⁴ Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:

⁵ “Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?”

⁶ Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.

⁷ Jesus, therefore, said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.

⁸ You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.”

⁹ A great multitude of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

¹⁰ But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also,

¹¹ Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away, and believed in Jesus.
