    First Reading

    Reading Ecclesiasticus 26: 1–4. 13–16

    Like the sun rising is the beauty of a good wife in a well-kept house.

    A reading from the book of Ecclesiasticus.

    Happy the husband of a really good wife;

    the number of his days will be doubled.

    A perfect wife is the joy of her husband,

    he will live out the years of his life in peace.

    A good wife is the best of portions,

    reserved for those who fear the Lord;

    rich or poor, they will be glad of heart;

    cheerful of face, whatever the season. The grace of a wife will charm her husband,

    her accomplishments will make him stronger.

    A silent wife is a gift from the Lord,

    no price can be put on a well-trained character.

    A modest wife is a boon twice over,

    a chaste character cannot be weighed on scales.

    Like the sun rising over the mountains of the Lord

    is the beauty of a good wife in a well-kept house.


    Responsorial Psalm

    Psalm 127(128): 1–2. 3. 4–5. cf. 1 or 4

    O blessed are those who fear the Lord!

    or

    Indeed thus shall be blessed

    the man who fears the Lord.

    O blessed are those who fear the Lord

    and walk in his ways!

    By the labour of your hands you shall eat.

    You will be happy and prosper.

    Your wife will be like a fruitful vine

    in the heart of your house;

    your children like shoots of the olive,

    around your table.

    Indeed thus shall be blessed

    the man who fears the Lord.

    May the Lord bless you from Zion

    all the days of your life!


    A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Ephesians.

    Ephesians 5: 21-23,25-32 reading from the letter of St Paul to the Ephesians.

    Give way to each other in obedience to Christ. Wives must regard their husbands as they regard the
    Lord, since as Christ is the head of the Church and saves the whole, so is a husband the head of his
    wife.

    Husbands should love their wives just as Christ loved the Church

    and sacrificed himself for her

    to make her holy.

    He made her clean by washing her in water with a form of words, so that when he took her to
    himself she would be glorious,

    with no speck or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and faultless.

    In the same way, husbands must love their wives

    as they love their own bodies;

    for a man to love his wife is for him to love himself

    A man never hates his own body, but he feeds it and looks after it;

    and that is the way Christ treats the Church, because it is his body — and we are its living parts.

    For this reason, a man must leave his father and mother

    and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one body.

    This mystery has many implications;

    but I am saying it applies to Christ and the Church.

    The Word of the Lord

    Gospel Acclamation 1 John 4: 16

    Alleluia, alleluia!

    Anyone who lives in love

    lives in God,

    and God lives in him.

    Alleluia
    Gospel Mark 10: 6–9

    They are no longer two, but one body.

    A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark.

    Jesus said,

    ‘From the beginning of creation God made them male and female.

    This is why a man must leave father and mother,

    and the two become one body.

    They are no longer two, therefore, but one body.

    So then, what God has united, man must not divide.’

    The Gospel of the Lord.
