PSALM 62 REFRAIN: Take refuge in God, all you people. For God alone my soul in silence waits; truly, my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold, so that I shall not be shaken. R In God is my safety and my honour; God is my strong rock and my refuge. Put your trust in him always, O people, pour out your hearts before him, for God is our refuge. R Those of high degree are but a fleeting breath, even those of low estate cannot be trusted. On the scales they are lighter than a breath, all of them together. R Put no trust in extortion; in robbery take no empty pride; though wealth increase, set not your heart upon it. R God has spoken once, twice have I heard it, that power belongs to God. Steadfast love is yours, O Lord, for you repay everyone according to his deeds.R 2nd Reading: 1 CORINTHIANS 7:29-31 Reader: Jim Walsh A READING FROM THE FIRST LETTER OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS The Word of the Lord People: Thanks be to God Gradual Hymn: CP#273 Sing of Andrew, John’s Disciple GOSPEL: MARK 1:14-20 THE HOLY GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO MARK Response: Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ. Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news." As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his
brother Andrew casting a net into the sea - for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you fish for people." And immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him. THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST People: Praise to you Lord Christ.
