First Reading Heb 12: 4-7.11-15
Brothers, in struggling against sin is not the point of bloodshed. You must not forget the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children: "My son, do not underestimate the discipline of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked by Him; for whom the Lord loves, and chastises the diakui- as a son. " If you accept chastening, then there God is treating you as sons. Where there are children who are not beaten by his father? Indeed, every chastening, when given,
does not bring joy, but sorrow. But then he produces the fruit of righteousness is trained by it. Therefore, strengthen the weak hands and the feeble knees. And make straight paths for your feet,
so lame do not sprain, but being cured. Pursue peace with all people, and pursue holiness,
for without holiness no man shall see the Lord. Take care that no one should keep away from the grace of God,
not to grow bitter root cause unrest and defile many.
Thus saith the Lord.
Psalm Ps 103: 1-2.13-14.17-18a
Long live the eternal mercy of the Lord upon the righteous.
* Praise the Lord, O my heart! Praise his holy name, all ye within me! Praise the Lord, O my soul, forget not all his benefits will!
* As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear God. For he knows of what we created. He is aware that we are dust.
* But Long live the eternal mercy of the Lord upon those who piety to Him, as the eternal Long live His goodness, so long as they stick to His covenant.

Gospel reading Mark 6: 1-6
On one occasion, Jesus arrived back in his hometown, being His disciples followed him. On the Sabbath, Jesus taught in the synagogue,
and a large congregation astonished to hear him. They said, "Where did he get all that? Hikmat what up again given to him? And miracles so, how can be held by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary?
Is not he the brother of James, Joses, Judas and Simon? And are not brothers his women here with us? "So they were disappointed and rejected Him. Then Jesus said to them," A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own country, among his relatives and in his house. " So Jesus did not hold any of the miracles there, except to heal a few sick people by laying his hands on them. then he went around the villages, teaching.

There's beer in the cafeteria star, a star of seven in the pharmacy, there is the Star of David in Israel. There is a one to four-star general in the military ranks. There is a five-star hotel in Senayan, there are starfish in Bunaken. If so, whether there was also a star in our hearts, like the stars that light up the three kings from the East (Kaspar, Baltasar and Melchior) to Bethlehem? Even now in Bethlehem (Church of the Nativity) where Jesus was first born is described by the shape of a star.
