The Triumph of the Holy Cross
First Reading: Numbers 21: 4-9
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 78: 1-2, 34-35, 36-37, 38
Holy Gospel: John 3: 13-17
Holy Gospel:
13 No one has ever gone up to heaven except the one who came from heaven, the Son of Man.
14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 so that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
16 Yes, God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but may have eternal life. 17 God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world; instead, through him the world is to be saved.
First Reading:
4 From Mount Hor they set out by the Red Sea road to go around the land of Edom. The people were discouraged by the journey 5 and began to complain against God and Moses, “Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is neither bread nor water here and we are disgusted with this tasteless manna.”
6 Yahweh then sent fiery serpents against them. They bit the people and many of the Israelites died. 7 Then the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, speaking against Yahweh and against you. Plead with Yahweh to take the serpents away.”
Moses pleaded for the people 8 and Yahweh said to him, “Make a fiery serpent and set it on a standard; whoever has been bitten and then looks at it shall live.”
9 So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a standard. Whenever a man was bitten, he looked towards the bronze serpent and he lived.
Responsorial Psalm:
Do not forget the works of the Lord!
Give heed, O my people, to my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth!
2 I will speak in parables, I will talk of old mysteries
34 When he slew them, they repented and sought him earnestly.
35 They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High, their redeemer.
36 But they flattered him with their mouths, they lied to him with their tongues, 37 while their hearts were unfaithful; they were untrue to his covenant.
38 Even then, in his compassion, he forgave their offenses and did not destroy them.
Many a time he restrained his anger and did not fully stir up his wrath.
