Today the Church celebrates the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The assigned readings are Amos 7:12-15, Ephesians 1:3-14, and Mark 6:7-13. The Responsorial Psalm is Psalm 85 (Psalm 85:9-14).

Today’s Gospel reading is as follows:
Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits. He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick - no food, no sack, no money in their belts. They were, however, to wear sandals but not a second tunic. He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave. Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, leave there and shake the dust off your feet in testimony against them.”
So they went off and preached repentance. The Twelve drove out many demons, and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.
