Titus 1:1-5

1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the acknowledging of the truth, which is according to godliness:

2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world:

3 But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour:

4 To Titus, my beloved son according to the common faith, grace and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Saviour.

5 For this cause I left thee in Crete: that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:

Psalms 96:1-10

1 (95-1) <A canticle for David himself, when the house was built after the captivity.> Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2 (95-2) Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name: shew forth his salvation from day to day.

3 (95-3) Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.

4 (95-4) For the Lord is great, and exceedingly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

5 (95-5) For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

6 (95-6) Praise and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty in his sanctuary.

7 (95-7) Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour:

8 (95-8) Bring to the Lord glory unto his name. Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts:

9 (95-9) Adore ye the Lord in his holy court. Let all the earth be moved at his presence.

10 (95-10) Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned. For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people with justice.

Psalms 119:105

105 (118-105) Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.

Mark 4:21-25

21 And he said to them: Doth a candle come in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest: neither was it made secret, but that it may come abroad.

23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

24 And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you.

25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken away from him.
