A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew:

Whoever wishes to come after me

must deny himself.

Jesus began to make it clear to his

disciples that he was destined to go to Jerusalem and

suffer grievously at the hands of the elders and chief

priests and scribes, to be put to death and to be

raised up on the third day. Then, taking him aside, Pe-

ter started to remonstrate with him. ‘Heaven preserve

you, Lord,’ he said. ‘This must not happen to you.’ But

he turned and said to Peter, ‘Get behind me, Satan!

You are an obstacle in my path, because the way you

think is not God’s way but man’s.’

Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If anyone wants to

be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and

take up his cross and follow me. For anyone who wants

to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his

life for my sake will find it. What, then, will a man gain

if he wins the whole world and ruins his life? Or what

has a man to offer in exchange for his life?

‘For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his

Father with his angels, and, when he does, he will re-

ward each one according to his behaviour.’

The Gospel of the Lord

Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
