Readings, Responsorial and Gospel

Reading 1 - JER 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. Responsorial Psalm PS 63:2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9 R. 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.

Reading 2 - ROM 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. Gospel - MT 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 be-hind 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 CROSS OF JESUS

The perception of a cross changed dramatically after Jesus’ crucifixion. Before that event, death on a cross was not only horrible, it was degrading. It was a penalty reserved only for the most wretched of criminals. The word “glory” would not have found its way into the same sentence containing the word “cross.” But all that changed with Jesus. Over time, believers began to ven-erate and honor the cross. They painted, sculpted, and carved images of it. Many lost their own lives for their association with it. Today our reverence for and relation-ship with the cross recalls little of the contempt original-ly associated with it. As it has been through the ages, it is our perception of the cross that determines how we follow Jesus. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Lecturas

Primera lectura - Jer 20, 7-9 Me sedujiste, Señor, y me dejé seducir; fuiste más fuerte que yo y me venciste. He sido el hazmerreír de todos; día tras día se burlan de mí. Desde que comencé a hablar, he tenido que anunciar a gritos violencia y destruc-ción. Por anunciar la palabra del Señor, me he convertido en objeto de oprobio y de burla todo el día. He llegado a decirme: “Ya no me acordaré del Señor ni hablaré más en su nombre”. Pero había en mí como un fue-go ardiente, encerrado en mis huesos; yo me esforzaba por contenerlo y no podía. Salmo Responsorial - Salmo 62, 2. 3-4. 5-6. 8-9 R. Señor, mi alma tiene sed de ti. Señor, tú eres mi Dios, a i te busco; de ti sedienta está mi alma. Señor, todo mi ser te añora como el suelo reseco añora el agua. R. Señor, mi alma tiene sed de ti. Para admirar tu gloria y ti poder, con este afán te busco en tu santuario. Pues mejor es tu amor que la existencia; siempre, Señor, te alabarán mis labios. R. Señor, mi alma tiene sed de ti. Podré así bendecirte mientras viva y levantar en oración mis manos. De lo mejor se saciará mi alma; te alabaré con jubilosos labios. R. Señor, mi alma tiene sed de ti. Porque fuiste mi auxilio, y a tu sombra, Señor, canto con gozo. A ti se adhiere mi alma y tu diestra me de seguro apoyo. R. Señor, mi alma tiene sed de ti. Segunda lectura - Rom 12, 1-2 Hermanos: Por la misericordia que Dios les ha manifestado, los exhorto a que se ofrezcan ustedes mismos como una ofrenda viva, santa y agradable a Dios, porque en esto consiste el verdadero culto. No se dejen transformar por los criterios de este mundo; sino dejen que una nueva manera de pensar los transforme internamente, para que sepan distinguir cuál es la voluntad de Dios, es decir, lo que es bueno, lo que le agrada, lo perfecto. Palabra de Dios. Evangelio - MT 16, 21-27 En aquel tiempo, comenzó Jesús a anunciar a sus discípulos que tenía que ir a Jerusalén para padecer allí mucho de parte de los ancianos, de los sumos sacerdotes y de los escribas; que tenía que ser condenado a muerte y resu-citar al tercer día. Pedro se lo llevó aparte y trató de disuadirlo, diciéndole: “No lo permita Dios, Señor; eso no te puede suceder a ti”. Pero Jesús se volvió a Pedro y le dijo: “¡Apártate de mí, Satanás, y no intentes hacerme tropezar en mi camino, porque tu modo de pensar no es el de Dios, sino el de los hombres!” Luego Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: “El que quiera venir conmigo, que renuncie a sí mismo, que tome su cruz y me siga. Pues el que quiera salvar su vida, la perderá; pero el que pierda su vida por mí, la encontrará. ¿De qué le sirve a uno ganar el mundo entero, si pierde su vida? ¿Y qué podrá dar uno a cambio para recobrarla? Porque el Hijo del hombre ha de venir rodeado de la gloria de su Padre, en compañía de sus ángeles, y entonces le dará a cada uno lo que merecen sus obras’’.

LA CRUZ DE JESÚS

La percepción de una cruz cambió dramáticamente después de la crucifixión de Jesús. Antes de ese suceso, la muerte en una cruz no era tan solo horrible, sino que era degradante. Era un castigo reservado únicamente para los más horrendos criminales. La palabra “gloria” no habría hallado su lugar en una oración que contuvie-ra la palabra “cruz”. Mas todo esto cambió con Jesús. Con el pasar del tiempo, los creyentes comenzaron a venerar y a honrar la Cruz. La pintaron, esculpieron, y tallaron imágenes de la misma. Muchos perdieron su vida por asociarse con ella. Hoy nuestra reverencia y relación con la cruz poco recuerda el desprecio al que originalmente estuvo asociada. Con el curso de los años, es nuestra percepción de la Cruz la que determina cómo seguimos a Jesús.
