Holy Gospel:


21 From that day Jesus began to make it clear to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem; he would suffer many things from the Jewish authorities, the chief priests and the teachers of the Law. He would be killed and be raised on the third day.

22 Then Peter took him aside and began to reproach him, “Never, Lord! No, this must never happen to you.” 23 But Jesus turned to him and said, “Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle in my path. You are thinking not as God does, but as people do.”


Second Reading:


1 I beg you, dearly beloved, by the mercy of God, to give yourselves as a living and holy sacrifice pleasing to God; that is the kind of worship for you, as sensible people.  

Don’t let yourselves be shaped by the world where you live, but rather be transformed through the renewal of your mind. You must discern the will of God: what is good, what pleases, what is perfect.


First Reading:

Yahweh, you have seduced me
and I let myself be seduced.
You have taken me by force and prevailed.
I have become a laughingstock all day long;
they all make fun of me,

8 for every time I speak
I have to shout, “Violence! Devastation!”
Yahweh’s word has brought me
insult and derision all day long.

So I decided to forget about him
and speak no more in his name.
But his word in my heart becomes like a fire
burning deep within my bones.
I try so hard to hold it in,
but I cannot do it.


Responsorial Psalm:

O God, you are my God, it is you I seek;
for you my body longs and my soul thirsts,
as a dry and weary land without water.

Thus have I gazed upon you in the sanctuary,
to see your power and your glory.

4 Your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.

5 I will bless you as long as I live,
lift up my hands and call on your name.

6 As with the richest food my soul will feast;
my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.

7 When I remember you on my bed
I think of you all through the night,

8 for you have been my help;
I sing in the shadow of your wings.

My soul clings to you,
your right hand upholds me.
