First Letter of Peter 1:10-16.
Concerning this salvation, 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."
Psalms 98(97):1.2-3ab.3cd-4.
Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done wondrous deeds;
His right hand has won victory for him,
his holy arm.
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.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the
salvation by our God.
the salvation by our God.
Sing joyfully to the
LORD, all you lands;
break into song; sing praise.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 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."
