I confess to almighty God and to you,
my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done
and in what I have failed to do,

through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;

Therefore I ask blessed Mary
ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints;
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Liturgy of the Word


1st Reading Jeremiah 20:7-9

You duped me, O LORD, and I
 let myself be duped;
you were too strong for me, and
 you triumphed.
All the day I am an object of
 laughter;
everyone mocks me.

Whenever I speak, I must cry out,
violence and outrage is my
 message;
the word of the LORD has
 brought me
derision and reproach all the day.

I say to myself, I will not mention
 him,
I will speak in his name no more.
But then it becomes like fire
 burning in my heart,
imprisoned in my bones;
I grow weary holding it in, I 
cannot endure it.
 

The Word of the Lord,

        ~Thanks be to God



Responsorial Psalm 
Psalm 63:2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9
R. (2b) My soul is thirsting for you,
 O Lord my God.
O God, you are my God whom I
 seek;
for you my flesh pines and my 
soul thirsts
like the earth, parched, lifeless and
 without water.
R. My soul is thirsting for you,
 O Lord my God.
Thus have I gazed toward you in
 the sanctuary
to see your power and your glory,
for your kindness is a greater
 good than life;
my lips shall glorify you.
R. My soul is thirsting for you, O
 Lord my God.
Thus will I bless you while I live;
lifting up my hands, I will call
 upon your name.
As with the riches of a banquet
 shall my soul be satisfied,
and with exultant lips my mouth
 shall praise you. 
R. My soul is thirsting for you,
 O Lord my God.
You are my help,
and in the shadow of your wings
 I shout for joy.
My soul clings fast to you;
your right hand upholds me.
R. My soul is thirsting for you,
 O Lord my God.
 
 

2nd Reading Romans 12:1-2
I urge you, brothers and sisters,
by the mercies of God,
to offer your bodies as a living
sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your
spiritual worship. Do not conform yourselves to this
age but be transformed by the renewal
of your mind, that you may discern what is the
will of God, what is good and pleasing and
perfect.
The Word of the Lord,

        ~Thanks be to God


Alleluia 

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

May the Father of our Lord

Jesus Christ enlighten the eyes of our

hearts, that we may know what is

the hope that belongs to our call.

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.



Gospel Matthew 16:21-27
Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and
suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests,
and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day
be raised. Then Peter took Jesus aside and
began to rebuke him, "God forbid, Lord! No such thing
shall ever happen to you." He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are
an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does,
but as human beings do." Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wishes to come after
me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his
life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my
sake will find it. What profit would there be for
one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange
for his life? For the Son of Man will come with
his angels in his Father's glory, and then he will repay all according
to his conduct."

The Gospel of the Lord,
      ~ Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ

Homily


Profession of Faith:

I believe in one God, the Father
almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all
ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten,
not made, consubstantial with the
Father;
through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. 
For our sake He was crucified under
Pontius Pilate, He suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is
seated
at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to
judge the living and the dead

and His kingdom will have no
end. 
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the
Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father
and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son
is adored
and glorified, who has spoken through the
prophets. 
I believe in one, holy, catholic
and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the
forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the
resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to
come. Amen.

1st Reading Isaiah 22:19-23

Thus says the LORD to Shebna, master of the 
palace:
"I will thrust you from your office
and pull you down from your station.
On that day I will summon my servant
Eliakim, son of Hilkiah;
I will clothe him with your robe,
and gird him with your sash,
and give over to him your authority.
He shall be a father to the inhabitants of 
Jerusalem,
and to the house of Judah.
I will place the key of the House of David on
 Eliakim's shoulder;
when he opens, no one shall shut,
when he shuts, no one shall open.
I will fix him like a peg in a sure spot,
to be a place of honor for his family." 
The Word of the Lord,

        ~Thanks be to God



Responsorial Psalm 
Psalm 138:1-2, 2-3, 6, 8
R.  Lord, your love is eternal; do not 
forsake the work of your hands.
I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with all my heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth; in the presence of the angels I will sing your praise; I will worship at your holy temple. R. Lord, your love is eternal; do not
forsake the work of your hands. I will give thanks to your name, because of your kindness and your truth: When I called, you answered me; you built up strength within me. R. Lord, your love is eternal; do not
forsake the work of your hands. The LORD is exalted, yet the lowly he sees, and the proud he knows from afar. Your kindness, O LORD, endures forever; forsake not the work of your hands. R. Lord, your love is eternal; do not
forsake the work of your hands.


 






2nd Reading Romans 11:33-36 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom
and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and
how unsearchable his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been his counselor? Or who has given the Lord anything that he may be repaid? For from him and through him and for
him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
The Word of the Lord,

        ~Thanks be to God

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

 You are Peter and upon this rock I will 

build my Church

and the gates of the netherworld shall
not prevail against it.
R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.


Gospel Matthew 16:13-20
  Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi and
he asked his disciples,
"Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" 
They replied, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah,
still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." 
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" 
Simon Peter said in reply,
"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 
Jesus said to him in reply,
"Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. 
For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you,
 but my heavenly Father. 
And so I say to you, you are Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my church,
and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail
 against it. 
I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. 
Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in
 heaven;
and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed
 in heaven." 
Then he strictly ordered his disciples
to tell no one that he was the Christ.
