First Reading
ZECHARIAH 12:10-11,
13:1
10 But over the House of
David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem I shall pour out a spirit of grace and
prayer, and they will look to me. They will mourn for the one whom they have
pierced as though for an only child, and weep for him as people weep for a first-born
child.
11 When that day comes,
the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning for Hadad Rimmon in
the Plain of Megiddo.
1 'When that day comes,
a fountain will be opened for the House of David and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, to wash sin and impurity away.
“The
Word of the Lord’
PSALMS 62:2-6, 8-9
2 he alone is my rock,
my safety, my stronghold so that I stand unshaken.
3 How much longer will
you set on a victim, all together, intent on murder, like a rampart already
leaning over, a wall already damaged?
4 Trickery is their
only plan, deception their only pleasure, with lies on their lips they
pronounce a blessing, with a curse in their hearts.Pause
5 Rest in God alone, my
soul! He is the source of my hope.
6 He alone is my rock,
my safety, my stronghold, so that I stand unwavering.
8 trust in him, you
people, at all times. Pour out your hearts to him, God is a refuge for us.Pause
9 Ordinary people are a
mere puff of wind, important people a delusion; set both on the scales
together, and they are lighter than a puff of wind.
Second Reading
GALATIANS 3:26-29
26 for all of you are
the children of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus,
27 since every one of
you that has been baptised has been clothed in Christ.
28 There can be neither
Jew nor Greek, there can be neither slave nor freeman, there can be neither
male nor female -- for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And simply by being
Christ's, you are that progeny of Abraham, the heirs named in the promise.

Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
LUKE 9:18-24
18 Now it happened that
he was praying alone, and his disciples came to him and he put this question to
them, 'Who do the crowds say I am?'
19 And they answered,
'Some say John the Baptist; others Elijah; others again one of the ancient prophets
come back to life.'
20 'But you,' he said to
them, 'who do you say I am?' It was Peter who spoke up. 'The Christ of God,' he
said.
21 But he gave them
strict orders and charged them not to say this to anyone.
22 He said, 'The Son of
man is destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and chief
priests and scribes and to be put to death, and to be raised up on the third
day.'
23 Then, speaking to
all, he said, 'If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce
himself and take up his cross every day and follow me.
24 Anyone who wants to
save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, will
save it.
