First Reading
The Book of Isaiah (Is 53: 10-11)
If he gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a long life.
The LORD was pleased
to crush him in infirmity.
If he gives his life as an offering for sin,
he shall see his descendants in a long life,
and the will of the LORD shall be accomplished through him.
Because of his affliction
he shall see the light in fullness
of days;
through his suffering, my servant shall justify many,
and their guilt he shall bear.
— The word of the Lord.
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 33: 4-5, 18-19, 20, 22
Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
Upright is the word of the LORD,
and all his works are trustworthy.
He loves justice and right;
of the kindness of the LORD the earth is full.
See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him,
upon those who hope for his kindness,
To deliver them from death
and preserve them in spite of famine.
Our soul waits for the LORD,
who is our help and our shield.
May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us
who have put our hope in you.
Second Reading
Letter to the Hebrews (Heb 4: 14-16)
Let us confidently approach the throne of grace.
Brothers and sisters:
Since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens,
Jesus, the Son of God,
let us hold fast to our confession.
For we do not have a high priest
who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses,
but one who has similarly been tested in every way,
yet without sin.
So let us confidently approach the throne of grace
to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help.
— The word of the Lord.

Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark (Mk 10: 35-45)
The Son of Man came to give his life as a ransom for many.
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to him,
“Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.”
He replied,
“What do you wish me to do for you?”
They answered him,
“Grant that in your glory
we may sit one at your right and the other at your left.”
Jesus said to them,
“You do not know what you are asking.
Can you drink the cup that I drink
or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”
They said to him,
“We can.”
Jesus said to them,
“The cup that I drink, you will drink,
and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized;
but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give
but is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
When the ten heard this, they became indignant at James and John.
Jesus summoned them and said to them,
“You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles
lord it over them,
and their great ones make their authority over them felt.
But it shall not be so among you.
Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant;
whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all.
For the Son of Man did not come to be served
but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

28th Sunday of the Year - B : Wealth can prevent you from entering heaven; I will call you friends, says the Lord, because I have told you all that I have heard from my Father. Wisdom and knowledge are not born of man, they are gifts from God, which is why he gives them to all who ask him, especially those who cling to him in prayer. Wisdom and knowledge are the opposite of pride and arrogance, selfishness and attachment to riches. The special nature of wisdom is that it is eternal and immortal...

Before the election of the mayor and councillors, all citizens who are entitled to vote must know their choices. Patriotism is a choice, and the proof is in the choice of foreigners who have the will to develop this country. A good motto to remember is: Progress - Peace - Respect. You don't have to wait until you're in a high position to show patriotism, nor do you have to choose one area. mba ho vanona’ programme in collaboration with General Désiré Ramakavelo.

First Reading
Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians (Eph 1: 15-23)
God gave the Christ as head over all things to the Church, which is his Body.
Brothers and sisters:
Hearing of your faith in the Lord Jesus
and of your love for all the holy ones,
I do not cease giving thanks for you,
remembering you in my prayers,
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation
resulting in knowledge of him.
May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened,
that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call,
what are the riches of glory
in his inheritance among the holy ones,
and what is the surpassing greatness of his power
for us who believe,
in accord with the exercise of his great might,
which he worked in Christ,
raising him from the dead
and seating him at his right hand in the heavens,
far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion,
and every name that is named
not only in this age but also in the one to come.
And he put all things beneath his feet
and gave him as head over all things to the Church,
which is his Body,
the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.
— The word of the Lord.
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 8: 2-3ab, 4-5, 6-7
You have given your Son rule over the works of your hands.
O LORD, our LORD,
how glorious is your name over all the earth!
You have exalted your majesty above the heavens.
Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings
you have fashioned praise because of your foes.
When I behold your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars which you set in place—
What is man that you should be mindful of him,
or the son of man that you should care for him?
You have made him little less than the angels,
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him rule over the works of your hands,
putting all things under his feet.
Gospel
Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke (Lk 12: 8-12)
The Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say.
Jesus said to his disciples:
“I tell you,
everyone who acknowledges me before others
the Son of Man will acknowledge before the angels of God.
But whoever denies me before others
will be denied before the angels of God.Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven,
but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit
will not be forgiven.
When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities,
do not worry about how or what your defense will be
or about what you are to say.
For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say.”
— The Gospel of the Lord.
