DESCRIPTION:Readings at Mass\n\nFirst reading\nJeremiah 20:7-9\n‘The wor
 d of the Lord has become for me a reproach.’\n\nO LORD\, you have deceiv
 ed me\, and I was deceived\; you are stronger than I\, and you have prevai
 led. I have become a laughing-stock all the day\; everyone mocks me. For w
 henever I speak\, I cry out\, I shout\, ‘Violence and destruction!’ Fo
 r the word of the LORD has become for me a reproach and derision all day l
 ong. If I say\, ‘I will not mention him\, or speak any more in his name
 ’\, there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones\,
  and I am weary with holding it in\, and I cannot.\n\nResponsorial Psalm\n
 Psalm 63(62):2. 3-4. 5-6. 8-9. ℟2b\n\nFor you my soul is thirsting\, O L
 ord\, my God.\n\nO God\, you are my God\; at dawn I seek you\;\nfor you my
  soul is thirsting.\nFor you my flesh is pining\,\nlike a dry\, weary land
  without water.  \n\nFor you my soul is thirsting\, O Lord\, my God.\n\nI 
 have come before you in the sanctuary\,\nto behold your strength and your 
 glory.\nYour loving mercy is better than life\;\nmy lips will speak your p
 raise. \n\nFor you my soul is thirsting\, O Lord\, my God.\n\nI will bless
  you all my life\;\nin your name I will lift up my hands.\nMy soul shall b
 e filled as with a banquet\;\nwith joyful lips\, my mouth shall praise you
 . \n\nFor you my soul is thirsting\, O Lord\, my God.\n\nFor you have been
  my strength\;\nin the shadow of your wings I rejoice.\nMy soul clings fas
 t to you\;\nyour right hand upholds me. \n\nFor you my soul is thirsting\,
  O Lord\, my God.\n\nSecond reading\nRomans 12:1-2\n‘Present your bodies
  as a living sacrifice.’\n\nI appeal to you\, brothers and sisters\, by 
 the mercies of God\, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice\, holy a
 nd acceptable to God\, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conforme
 d to this world\, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind\, that by
  testing you may discern what is the will of God\, what is good and accept
 able and perfect.\n\nGospel Acclamation\nCf. Ephesians 1:17-18\n\nAlleluia
 \, alleluia.\nMay the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ\,\nenlighten the eye
 s of our hearts\,\nso that we may know the hope to which he has called us.
 \nAlleluia.\n\nGospel\nMatthew 16:21-27\n‘If anyone would come after me\
 , let him deny himself.’\n\nAt that time: Jesus began to show his discip
 les that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders an
 d chief priests and scribes\, and be killed\, and on the third day be rais
 ed. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him\, saying\, ‘Far be 
 it from you\, Lord! This shall never happen to you.’ But he turned and s
 aid to Peter\, ‘Get behind me\, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For yo
 u are not setting your mind on the things of God\, but on the things of ma
 n.’\n    Then Jesus told his disciples\, ‘If anyone would come after m
 e\, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever 
 would save his life will lose it\, but whoever loses his life for my sake 
 will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world an
 d forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? For 
 the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father
 \, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.’
