2 Samuel 12:1-7, 10-17

1And the LORD sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, “There were two men in a certain city, the one rich and the other poor.
2The rich man had very many flocks and herds;
3but the poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought. And he brought it up, and it grew up with him and with his children; it used to eat of his morsel, and drink from his cup, and lie in his bosom, and it was like a daughter to him.
4Now there came a traveler to the rich man, and he was unwilling to take one of his own flock or herd to prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him, but he took the poor man’s lamb, and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”
5Then David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die;
6and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.”
7Nathan said to David, “You are the man. Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul;
10Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriʹah the Hittite to be your wife.’
11Thus says the LORD, ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
12For you did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’ ”
13David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” And Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die.
14Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly scorned the LORD, the child that is born to you shall die.”
15Then Nathan went to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriʹah’s wife bore to David, and it became sick.
16David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.
17And the elders of his house stood beside him, to raise him from the ground; but he would not, nor did he eat food with them.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 51:12-17

10Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.
11Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me.
12Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
13Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners will return to thee.
14Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of thy deliverance.
15O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.

Gospel

Mark 4:35-41

35On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.”
36And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, just as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
37And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling.
38But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care if we perish?”
39And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you no faith?”
41And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?”

Philippians 4:4-9

4Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.
5Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand.
6Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
7And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
9What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of peace will be with you.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 103:1-4, 8-9, 13-14, 17-18

1Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
3who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
4who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
8The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger for ever.
13As a father pities his children, so the LORD pities those who fear him.
14For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.
17But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children,
18to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.

Gospel

Matthew 18:1-5

1At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them,
3and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me;
