Prima lettura

Genesis 1:20-2:4a

God said, "Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky." God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. God said, "Let the earth produce living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind;" and it was so. God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good. God said, "Let's make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them. God said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food. To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;" and it was so. God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day. The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished. On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done. This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.

Salmo responsoriale

Psalm 8:4-5, 6-7, 8-9

what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him? For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor. You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet: All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field, the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Vangelo

Mark 7:1-13

ALLORA si raunarono appresso di lui i Farisei, ed alcuni degli Scribi, ch'eran venuti di Gerusalemme. E veduti alcuni de' discepoli di esso prender cibo con le mani contaminate, cioè, non lavate, ne fecer querela. Perciocchè i Farisei, anzi tutti i Giudei, non mangiano, se non si sono più volte lavate le mani, tenendo così la tradizion degli anziani. Ed anche, venendo d'in su la piazza, non mangiano, se non si son lavati tutto il corpo. Vi sono eziandio molte altre cose, che hanno ricevute da osservare: lavamenti di coppe, d'orciuoli, di vasellamenti di rame, e di lettiere. Poi i Farisei, e gli Scribi, lo domandarono, dicendo: Perchè non procedono i tuoi discepoli secondo la tradizione degli anziani, anzi prendon cibo senza lavarsi le mani? Ma egli, rispondendo, disse loro: Ben di voi, ipocriti, profetizzò Isaia, siccome è scritto: Questo popolo mi onora con le labbra, ma il cuor loro è lungi da me. Ma invano mi onorano, insegnando dottrine che son comandamenti d'uomini. Avendo lasciato il comandamento di Dio, voi tenete la tradizione degli uomini, i lavamenti degli orciuoli e delle coppe, e fate assai altre simili cose. Disse loro ancora: Bene annullate voi il comandamento di Dio, per osservar la vostra tradizione. Perciocchè Mosè ha detto: Onora tuo padre, e tua madre; e: Chi maledice padre, o madre, muoia di morte. Ma voi dite: Se un uomo dice a suo padre, od a sua madre: Tutto ciò, onde tu potresti esser sovvenuto da me, sia Corban (cioè offerta a Dio), voi non gli lasciate più far cosa alcuna per suo padre, o per sua madre; annullando così la parola di Dio con la vostra tradizione, la quale voi avete ordinata. E fate assai cose simili.
