Saint Addal, Disciple of Jesus Christ - August 5, 180
First Reading: Deuteronomy 4 :32-40
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 77:12-13, 14-15, 16, 21
Gospel: Matthew 16:24-28
Holy Gospel:
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If you want to follow me, deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me. 25 For whoever chooses to save his life will lose it, but the one who loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 What will one gain by winning the whole world if he destroys himself? There is nothing you can give to recover your own self.
27 Know that the Son of Man will come in the Glory of his Father with the holy angels, and he will reward each one according to his deeds. 28 Truly, I tell you, there are some here who will not die before they see the Son of Man coming as king."
First Reading:
32 Ask of the times past. Inquire from the day when God created man on earth. Ask from one end of the world to the other: Has there ever been anything as extraordinary as this? 33 Has anything like this been heard of before? Has there ever been a people who remained alive after hearing as you did the voice of the living God from the midst of the fire?
34 Never has there been a God who went out to look for a people and take them out from among the other nations by the strength of trials and signs, by wonders and by war, with a firm hand and an outstretched arm. Never has there been any deed as tremendous as those done for you by Yahweh in Egypt, which you saw with your own eyes.
35 You saw this that you might know that Yahweh is God and that there is no other besides him. 36 He let you hear his voice from heaven that you might fear him; on earth he let you see his blazing fire and from the midst of the fire you heard his word. 37 Because of the love he had for your fathers, he chose their descendants after them, and he himself made you leave Egypt with his great power. 38 He expelled before you peoples more numerous and stronger than you, and he has made you occupy their land: today he has given this to you as an inheritance. 39 Therefore, try to be convinced that Yahweh is the only God of heaven and earth, and that there is no other.
40 Observe the laws and the commandments that I command you today, and everything will be well with you and your children after you. So you will live long in the land which Yahweh, your God, gives you forever.
Responsorial Psalm:
12 I remember the deeds of the Lord; I recall his marvels of old.
13 I meditate on all your work, and consider your mighty deeds.
14 Your way, O God, is most holy. Is there any god greater than you, our God?
15 You alone are the God who works wonders, who has made known his power to the nations.
16 With power you have redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
21 You led your people as a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
