Thus
says the LORD:
I
will pour out on the house of David
and on
the inhabitants of Jerusalem
a spirit
of grace and petition;
and they
shall look on him whom they have pierced,
and they
shall mourn for him as one mourns for an only son,
and they
shall grieve over him as one grieves over a firstborn.
On
that day the mourning in Jerusalem shall be as great
as the
mourning of Hadadrimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
On
that day there shall be open to the house of David
and to
the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
a fountain to purify from sin and uncleanness.
Responsorial Psalm
R.
(2b) My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my
God.
O
God, you are my God whom I seek;
for you my
flesh pines and my soul thirsts
like the
earth, parched, lifeless and without water.
R.
My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
Thus
have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary
to see
your power and your glory,
For
your kindness is a greater good than life;
my lips
shall glorify you.
R.
My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
Thus
will I bless you while I live;
lifting
up my hands, I will call upon your name.
As
with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied,
and with
exultant lips my mouth shall praise you.
R.
My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
You
are my help,
and in
the shadow of your wings I shout for joy.
My
soul clings fast to you;
your
right hand upholds me.
R. My
soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
Reading 2
Brothers
and sisters:
Through
faith you are all children of God in Christ Jesus.
For
all of you who were baptized into Christ
have
clothed yourselves with Christ.
There
is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is
neither slave nor free person,
there is
not male and female;
for you
are all one in Christ Jesus.
And
if you belong to Christ,
then you
are Abraham’s descendant,
heirs according to the promise.
Gospel
Once
when Jesus was praying in solitude,
and the
disciples were with him,
he asked
them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
They
said in reply, “John the Baptist;
others,
Elijah;
still
others, ‘One of the ancient prophets has arisen.’”
Then
he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Peter
said in reply, “The Christ of God.”
He
rebuked them
and
directed them not to tell this to anyone.
He
said, “The Son of Man must suffer greatly
and be
rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
and be
killed and on the third day be raised.”
Then
he said to all,
“If
anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself
and take
up his cross daily and follow me.
For
whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.”
