First Reading – Sirach 51:12CD-20

^12CD I thank the LORD and I praise him; I bless the name of the LORD.

¹³ When I was young and innocent, I sought wisdom openly in my prayer

¹⁴ I prayed for her before the temple, and I will seek her until the end,

¹⁵ and she flourished as a grape soon ripe. My heart delighted in her, My feet kept to the level path because from earliest youth I was familiar with her.

¹⁶ In the short time I paid heed, I met with great instruction.

¹⁷ Since in this way I have profited, I will give my teacher grateful praise.

¹⁸ I became resolutely devoted to her the good I persistently strove for.

¹⁹ My soul was tormented in seeking her, My hand opened her gate and I came to know her secrets.

²⁰ I directed my soul to her, and in cleanness I attained to her.

Gospel Reading for May 29 2027 – Mark 11:27-33

²⁷ Jesus and his disciples returned once more to Jerusalem. As he was walking in the temple area, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders approached him

²⁸ and said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things? Or who gave you this authority to do them?”

²⁹ Jesus said to them, “I shall ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

³⁰ Was John’s baptism of heavenly or of human origin? Answer me.”

³¹ They discussed this among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘Of heavenly origin,’ he will say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’

³² But shall we say, ‘Of human origin’?” they feared the crowd, for they all thought John really was a prophet.

³³ So they said to Jesus in reply, “We do not know.” Then Jesus said to them, “Neither shall I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
