Seasonal Note

St Mark’s Gospel is the main one used in Year B.  But in Year B, between late July and the end of August, the Gospel is mostly from John 6, presenting Jesus as the Bread of Life.   If you are planning music for Sunday Masses may be helpful to plan these weeks as one season, spreading your known "Eucharist" themed hymns through the weeks.

Readings

First:  
1 Kings 2:10-12; 3:3-14 - David died, so his son Solomon sat on the throne.  The Lord appeared to his in a dream, asking "what I should give you."  Solomon replied "Give your servant , an understanding mind to govern your people, able to discern between good and evil"  ...If you will walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your life."
