2 Samuel 6:12-15, 17-19
12And it was told King David, “The LORD has blessed the household of Oʹbed-eʹdom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Oʹbed-eʹdom to the city of David with rejoicing;
13and when those who bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.
14And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the horn.
17And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place, inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
18And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts,
19and distributed among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both men and women, to each a cake of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins. Then all the people departed, each to his house.

Gospel
Mark 3:31-35
31And his mother and his brethren came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him.
32And a crowd was sitting about him; and they said to him, “Your mother and your brethren are outside, asking for you.”
33And he replied, “Who are my mother and my brethren?”
34And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brethren!
35Whoever does the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

Wisdom 7:7-10, 15-16
7Therefore I prayed, and understanding was given me; I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.
8I preferred her to scepters and thrones, and I accounted wealth as nothing in comparison with her.
9Neither did I liken to her any priceless gem, because all gold is but a little sand in her sight, and silver will be accounted as clay before her.
10I loved her more than health and beauty, and I chose to have her rather than light, because her radiance never ceases.
15May God grant that I speak with judgment and have thoughts worthy of what I have received, for he is the guide even of wisdom and the corrector of the wise.
16For both we and our words are in his hand, as are all understanding and skill in crafts.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 119:9-14
9How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to thy word.
10With my whole heart I seek thee; let me not wander from thy commandments!
11I have laid up thy word in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12Blessed be thou, O LORD; teach me thy statutes!
13With my lips I declare all the ordinances of thy mouth.
14In the way of thy testimonies I delight as much as in all riches.
Gospel
Matthew 23:8-12
8But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren.
9And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
10Neither be called masters, for you have one master, the Christ.
11He who is greatest among you shall be your servant;
12whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
