Jeremiah 31:7-9. The prophet celebrates the end of the Babylonian Exile. God will bring the people back “from the ends of the world” because “I am a father to Israel.”

Psalm of the Day: Ps (125) 126
This communal lament recalls God’s mighty deeds of the past, especially the restoration of the people from the Exile, and it calls on God to act once more on behalf of the nation in the current crisis.

Suggested Common Psalms

Ps (62) 63: My Soul Is Thirsting for You
Ps (90) 91: Be with Me, Lord, When I Am in Trouble

Hebrews 5:1-6. Continuing to reflect on the image of the high priest in the Temple as a way to interpret Jesus’ mission, the author of Hebrews points out that high priests did not choose themselves; they were called by God. Jesus was called the same way.

Mark 10:46-52. Bartimaeus calls out for help with the persistence of faith. It is this persistent faith that brings him healing and leads him to discipleship: “Immediately he received his sight and followed [Jesus] on the way.”
