A dead dog, or a single flea!<br \/>\nThe LORD will be the judge; he will decide between me and you.<br \/>\nMay he see this, and take my part,<br \/>\nand grant me justice beyond your reach!&#8221;<br \/>\nWhen David finished saying these things to Saul, Saul answered,<br \/>\n&#8220;Is that your voice, my son David?&#8221;<br \/>\nAnd Saul wept aloud.<br \/>\nSaul then said to David: &#8220;You are in the right rather than I;<br \/>\nyou have treated me generously, while I have done you harm.<br \/>\nGreat is the generosity you showed me today,<br \/>\nwhen the LORD delivered me into your grasp<br \/>\nand you did not kill me.<br \/>\nFor if a man meets his enemy, does he send him away unharmed?<br \/>\nMay the LORD reward you generously for what you have done this day.<br \/>\nAnd now, I know that you shall surely be king<br \/>\nand that sovereignty over Israel shall come into your possession.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Gospel &#8211;\u00a0Mark 3<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Jesus went up the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted<br \/>\nand they came to him.<br \/>\nHe appointed Twelve, whom he also named Apostles,<br \/>\nthat they might be with him<br \/>\nand he might send them forth to preach<br \/>\nand to have authority to drive out demons:<br \/>\nHe appointed the Twelve:<br \/>\nSimon, whom he named Peter;<br \/>\nJames, son of Zebedee,<br \/>\nand John the brother of James, whom he named Boanerges,<br \/>\nthat is, sons of thunder;<br \/>\nAndrew, Philip, Bartholomew,<br \/>\nMatthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus;<br \/>\nThaddeus, Simon the Cananean,<br \/>\nand Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is the\u00a0Word of the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First Reading &#8211;\u00a01 Sm 24 Saul took three thousand picked men from all Israel and went in search of David and his men in the direction of the wild goat crags.
