Reading I
1 Pt 1:10-16
Beloved: Concerning the salvation of your souls the prophets who
prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and
investigated it investigating the time and circumstances that the
Spirit of Christ within them indicated when it testified in advance
to the sufferings destined for Christ and the glories to follow
them. It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves
but you with regard to the things that have now been announced to
you by those who preached the Good News to you through the Holy
Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels longed to look.
Therefore, gird up the loins of your mind, live soberly, and set
your hopes completely on the grace to be brought to you at the
revelation of Jesus Christ. Like obedient children, do not act in
compliance with the desires of your former ignorance but, as he who
called you is holy, be holy yourselves in every aspect of your
conduct, for it is written, Be holy because I am holy.
Responsorial Psalm
98:1, 2-3ab, 3cd-4
R. (2a) The Lord has made known his salvation. Sing to the
LORD a new song, for he has done wondrous deeds; His right hand has
won victory for him, his holy arm. R. The Lord has made known his
salvation. The LORD has made his salvation known: in the sight
of the nations he has revealed his justice. He has remembered his
kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. R. The
Lord has made known his salvation. All the ends of the earth
have seen the salvation by our God. Sing joyfully to the LORD, all
you lands; break into song; sing praise. R. The Lord has made
known his salvation.
Gospel
Mk 10:28-31
Peter began to say to Jesus, “We have given up everything and
followed you.” Jesus said, “Amen, I say to you, there is no one who
has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or
children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel who
will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age:
houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands,
with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come. But many
that are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
