“My house will be called a house of

prayer for all nations. Have faith in God ” 

A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To Mark (11, 11-25) 

After his arrival amidst the cheers of the crowd,

Jesus entered Jerusalem, into the Temple.

He looked over all things

and, as it was already evening,

he went out to go to Bethany with the Twelve.

The next day, when they left Bethany,

he was hungry.

Seeing a fig tree from afar which had leaves,

he went to see if he would find anything there;

but, on approaching, he found only leaves,

for it was not the season for figs.

Then he said to the fig tree:

"Let no one ever eat your fruit again!" "

And his disciples course. 

They arrived in Jerusalem.

Entering the Temple, Jesus began to expel

those who sold and those who bought in the Temple.

He knocked down the counters of the money changers

and the seats of the dove merchants,

and he would not let anyone carry anything

through the Temple.

He was teaching, and he

was telling the people: "Does not the Scripture say:

My house shall be called the

house of prayer for all the nations?"

But you, you have made a cave of bandits. "

Hearing this, the chief priests and the scribes

sought how do perish.

Indeed, they were afraid of him,

for the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.

And when evening fell,

Jesus and his disciples went out of the city. 

The next morning, as

they passed, they saw the fig tree which was withered to the roots.

Peter, remembering what had happened,

said to Jesus:

“Rabbi, look:

the fig tree you cursed has withered away. "

Then Jesus, speaking, said to them:

" Have faith in God.

Amen, I say to you:

whoever will say to this mountain:

"Get away from there,

and go and throw yourself into the sea",

if he does not doubt in his heart,

but if he believes that what he says will happen,

it will be granted!

Therefore, I say to you:

whatever you ask for in prayer,

believe that you have obtained it,

and it will be granted to you.

And when you stand in prayer,

if you have something against someone,

forgive,

so that your Father who is in heaven

will also forgive you your faults. "
