FIRST
READING: 1 Peter
1: 10 - 16
10
Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently
searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.
11
Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them
did signify: when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ,
and the glories that should follow:
12
To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you they
ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that
have preached the gospel to you, the Holy Ghost being sent down from
heaven, on whom the angels desire to look.
13
Wherefore having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust
perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of
Jesus Christ,
14
As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former
desires of your ignorance:
15
But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also
in all manner of conversation holy:
16
Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy.
PSALM:
Psalms 98:
1 - 4
1
Sing ye to the Lord anew canticle: because he hath done wonderful
things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is
holy.
2
The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice
in the sight of the Gentiles.
3
He hath remembered his mercy his truth toward the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4
Sing joyfully to God, all the earth; make melody, rejoice and sing.
GOSPEL:
Mark 10:
28 - 31
28
And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things, and
have followed thee.
29
Jesus answering, said: Amen I say to you, there is no man who hath
left house or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or
children, or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,
30
Who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time;
houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and
lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting.
31
But many that are first, shall be last: and the last, first.
