Date: September 3, 2017

New American Bible readings

First reading (Jeremiah 20: 7–9)
A reading from the book of the prophet Jeremiah.
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.

Second reading (Romans 12: 1–2)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
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 (Matthew 16: 21–27)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
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."

Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible readings

First Reading (Jeremiah 20: 7–9)
A reading from the book of the prophet Jeremiah.
Lord, you have seduced me and I let myself be seduced. You have taken me by force and prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day long; they all make fun of me, for every time I speak I have to shout, "Violence! Devastation!" The Lord's word has brought me insult and derision all day long. So I decided to forget about him and speak no more in his name. But his word in my heart becomes like a fire burning deep within my bones. I try so hard to hold it in, but I cannot do it.

Second Reading (Romans 12: 1–2)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
I beg you, dearly beloved, by the mercy of God, to give yourselves as a living and holy sacrifice pleasing to God: such is the worship of a rational being. Do not let yourselves be shaped by the world where you live, but rather be transformed through the renewal of your mind. You must discern the will of God: what is good, what pleases, and what is perfect.

Gospel (Matthew 16: 21–27)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
 
From that day Jesus began to make it clear to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem; he would suffer many things from the Jewish authorities, the chief priests and the teachers of the Law. He would be killed and be raised on the third day. Then Peter took him aside and began to reproach him, "Never, Lord! No, this must never happen to you." But Jesus turned to him and stated, "Get behind me, Satan! You would have me stumble. You are their king not as God does, but as people do." Then Jesus stated to his disciples, "If you want to follow me, deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me. For whoever chooses to save his life will lose it, but the one who loses his life for my sake will find it. What will one gain by winning the whole world if he destroys himself? There is nothing you can give to recover your own self. Know that the Son of Man will come in the Glory of his Father with the holy angels, and he will reward each one according to his deeds. Truly, I tell you, there are some here who will not die before they see the Son of Man coming as king."

  1. Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 63) (Verses 2–6 and 8–9)
    The response is: My soul is thirsting for You, O Lord my God.

    O God, you are my God, it is you I seek; for you my body longs and my soul thirsts, as a dry and weary land without water.

    Thus have I gazed upon you in the sanctuary, to see your power and your glory. Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.

    I will bless you as long as I live, lift up my hands and call on your name. As with the richest food my soul will feast; my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.

    For you have been my help; I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you, your right hand upholds me.

  2. Primera Lectura (Jeremías 20: 7–9)
    Una lectura del profeta Jeremías.
    Me has seducido, Yahvé, y me dejé seducir por ti. Me tomaste a la fuerza y saliste ganando. Todo el día soy el blanco de sus burlas, toda la gente se ríe de mí. Pues me pongo a hablar, y son amenazas, no les anuncio más que violencias y saqueos. La palabra de Yahvé me acarrea cada día humillaciones e insultos. Por eso, decidí no recordar más a Yahvé, ni hablar más en su nombre, pero sentía en mí algo así como un fuego ardiente aprisionado en mis huesos, y aunque yo trataba de apagarlo, no podía.

    Salmo responsorial (Salmo 63) (Versículos 2–6 y 8–9)
    La respuesta es: Mi alma está sedienta de ti, O Señor Dios mío.
    • Oh Dios, tú eres mi Dios, yo te busco ardientemente; mi alma tiene sed de ti, por ti suspira mi carne como tierra sedienta, reseca y sin agua.
    • Sí, yo te contemplé en el Santuario para ver tu poder y tu gloria. Porque tu amor vale más que la vida, mis labios te alabarán.
    • Así te bendeciré mientras viva y alzaré mis manos en tu Nombre. Mi alma quedará saciada como con un manjar delicioso, y mi boca te alabará con júbilo en los labios.
    • Veo que has sido mi ayuda y soy feliz a la sombra de tus alas. Mi alma está unida a ti, tu mano me sostiene.

    Segunda Lectura (Romanos 12: 1–2)
    Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los romanos.
    Por lo tanto, hermanos, yo les exhorto por la misericordia de Dios a ofrecerse ustedes mismos como una víctima viva, santa y agradable a Dios: este es el culto espiritual que deben ofrecer. No tomen como modelo a este mundo. Por el contrario, transfórmense interiormente renovando su mentalidad, a fin de que puedan discernir cuál es la voluntad de Dios: lo que es bueno, lo que le agrada, lo perfecto.

    Evangelio (Mateo 16: 21–27)
    Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Mateo.
    A partir de ese día, Jesucristo comenzó a manifestar a sus discípulos que él debía ir a Jerusalén y que las autoridades judías, los sumos sacerdotes y los maestros de la Ley lo iban a hacer sufrir mucho, que incluso debía ser ejecutado y que resucitaría al tercer día. Pedro lo llevó aparte y se puso a reprenderlo: “¡Dios no lo permita, Señor! Nunca te sucederán tales cosas.” Pero Jesús se volvió y le dijo: “¡Retírate y ponte detrás de mí, Satanás! Quieres hacerme tropezar. Tus ambiciones no son las de Dios, sino las de los hombres.” Entonces dijo Jesús a sus discípulos: “El que quiera seguirme, que renuncie a sí mismo, cargue con su cruz y me siga. Pues el que quiera asegurar su vida la perderá, pero el que sacrifique su vida por causa mía, la hallará. ¿De qué le serviría a uno ganar el mundo entero si se destruye a sí mismo? ¿Qué dará para rescatarse a sí mismo? Sepan que el Hijo del Hombre vendrá con la gloria de su Padre, rodeado de sus ángeles, y entonces recompensará a cada uno según su conducta.”

  4. Unang pagbabasa (Jeremias 20: 7–9)
    Ang pagbabasa sa aklat ni propeta Jeremias.
    Yahweh, ako'y iyong hinikayat, at naniwala naman ako. Higit kang malakas kaysa akin kaya ikaw ay nagwagi. Pinagkatuwaan ako ng lahat; at maghapon nila akong pinagtatawanan. Tuwing ako'y magsasalita at sisigaw ng “Karahasan! Pagkawasak!” Pinagtatawanan nila ako't hinahamak, sapagkat ipinapahayag ko ang iyong salita. Ngunit kung sabihin kong, “Kalilimutan ko na si Yahweh at hindi na ako magsasalita para sa kanyang pangalan,” para namang apoy na naglalagablab sa aking kalooban ang iyong mga salita, apoy na nakakulong sa aking mga buto. Sinikap kong tiisin ito, ngunit hindi ko na kayang pigilin pa.

    Salmong pagtugon (Salmo 63) (Bersikulo 1–5 at 7–8)
    Ang tugon ay: Ang uhaw kong kaluluwa, O Diyos.
    • O Diyos, ikaw ang aking Diyos na lagi kong hinahanap; ang uhaw kong kaluluwa'y tanging ikaw nga ang hangad; para akong tuyong lupa na tubig ang siyang lunas.
    • Hayaan mong sa santuwaryo ika'y aking mapagmasdan, at ang likas mong kaluwalhatian at kapangyarihan. Ang wagas na pag-ibig mo'y mainam pa kaysa buhay, kaya pupurihin kita, O Diyos, at pararangalan.
    • Habang ako'y nabubuhay, ako'y magpapasalamat, at ako ay dadalangin na kamay ko'y nakataas. Itong aking kaluluwa'y tunay na masisiyahan, magagalak na umawit ng papuring iaalay.
    • Ikaw ang sa aki'y tumutulong sa tuwina, kaya sa iyong pagkupkop ligaya kong awitan ka. Itong aking kaluluwa'y sa iyo lang nananalig, kaligtasan ko'y tiyak, dahil sa iyo'y nakasandig.

    Pangalawang pagbabasa (Roma 12: 1–2)
    Ang pagbabasa sa sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Roma.
    Kaya nga, mga kapatid, alang-alang sa masaganang habag ng Diyos sa atin, ako'y nakikiusap sa inyo na ialay ninyo ang inyong sarili bilang isang handog na buháy, banal at kalugud-lugod sa Diyos. Ito ang karapat-dapat na pagsamba ninyo sa Diyos. Huwag kayong makiayon sa takbo ng mundong ito. Sa halip, hayaan ninyong baguhin ng Diyos ang inyong pag-iisip upang maunawaan ninyo ang kanyang kalooban. Sa gayon, magagawa ninyo kung ano ang mabuti, kalugud-lugod at ganap na kalooban ng Diyos.

    Ebanghelyo (Mateo 16: 21–27)
    Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Mateo.
    Mula noon ay ipinaalam na ni Jesus sa kanyang mga alagad ang mangyayari sa kanya. Sinabi niya, “Dapat akong magtungo sa Jerusalem at magdanas ng maraming hirap sa kamay ng mga pinuno ng bayan, mga punong pari at mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Ako'y papatayin, ngunit sa ikatlong araw ako'y muling mabubuhay.” Dinala siya ni Pedro sa isang tabi at pinagsabihan, “Panginoon, huwag nawang itulot ng Diyos! Kailanma'y hindi iyan mangyayari sa inyo.” Ngunit hinarap siya ni Jesus at sinabihan, “Lumayo ka, Satanas! Hadlang ka sa aking landas. Ang iniisip mo'y hindi sa Diyos kundi sa tao.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanyang mga alagad, “Sinumang nagnanais sumunod sa akin ay kailangang itakwil ang kanyang sarili, pasanin ang kanyang krus, at sumunod sa akin. Ang naghahangad na magligtas ng kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito; ngunit ang mawalan ng kanyang buhay alang-alang sa akin ay magkakamit nito. Sapagkat ano ba ang mapapala ng isang tao makamtan man niya ang buong daigdig, ngunit mapapahamak naman ang kanyang sarili? Ano ang maibibigay ng isang tao kapalit ng kanyang buhay? Sapagkat darating ang Anak ng Tao na kasama ang kanyang mga anghel, at taglay ang dakilang kapangyarihan ng kanyang Ama. Sa panahong iyo'y gagantimpalaan niya ang bawat tao ayon sa ginawa nito.”

  5. Bacaan pertama (Yeremia 20: 7–9)
    Pembacaan dari kitab nabi Yeremia.
    Engkau telah membujuk aku, ya TUHAN, dan aku telah membiarkan diriku dibujuk; Engkau terlalu kuat bagiku dan Engkau menundukkan aku. Aku telah menjadi tertawaan sepanjang hari, semuanya mereka mengolok-olokkan aku. Sebab setiap kali aku berbicara, terpaksa aku berteriak, terpaksa berseru: "Kelaliman! Aniaya!" Sebab firman TUHAN telah menjadi cela dan cemooh bagiku, sepanjang hari. Tetapi apabila aku berpikir: "Aku tidak mau mengingat Dia dan tidak mau mengucapkan firman lagi demi nama-Nya", maka dalam hatiku ada sesuatu yang seperti api yang menyala-nyala, terkurung dalam tulang-tulangku; aku berlelah-lelah untuk menahannya, tetapi aku tidak sanggup.

    Mazmur (Mazmur 63) (Ayat 1–5 dan 7–8)
    Tanggapan adalah: Jiwaku haus kepada-Mu, ya Allah.
    • Ya Allah, Engkaulah Allahku, aku mencari Engkau, jiwaku haus kepada-Mu, tubuhku rindu kepada-Mu, seperti tanah yang kering dan tandus, tiada berair.
    • Demikianlah aku memandang kepada-Mu di tempat kudus, sambil melihat kekuatan-Mu dan kemuliaan-Mu. Sebab kasih setia-Mu lebih baik dari pada hidup; bibirku akan memegahkan Engkau.
    • Demikianlah aku mau memuji Engkau seumur hidupku dan menaikkan tanganku demi nama-Mu. Seperti dengan lemak dan sumsum jiwaku dikenyangkan, dan dengan bibir yang bersorak-sorai mulutku memuji-muji.
    • Sungguh Engkau telah menjadi pertolonganku, dan dalam naungan sayap-Mu aku bersorak-sorai. Jiwaku melekat kepada-Mu, tangan kanan-Mu menopang aku.

    Bacaan kedua (Roma 12: 1–2)
    Pembacaan dari surat Paulus kepada jemaat di Roma.
    Karena itu, saudara-saudara, demi kemurahan Allah aku menasihatkan kamu, supaya kamu mempersembahkan tubuhmu sebagai persembahan yang hidup, yang kudus dan yang berkenan kepada Allah: itu adalah ibadahmu yang sejati. Janganlah kamu menjadi serupa dengan dunia ini, tetapi berubahlah oleh pembaharuan budimu, sehingga kamu dapat membedakan manakah kehendak Allah: apa yang baik, yang berkenan kepada Allah dan yang sempurna.

    Bacaan Injil (Matius 16: 21–27)
    Pembacaan Injil kudus menurut Santo Matius.
    Sejak waktu itu Yesus mulai menyatakan kepada murid-murid-Nya bahwa Ia harus pergi ke Yerusalem dan menanggung banyak penderitaan dari pihak tua-tua, imam-imam kepala dan ahli-ahli Taurat, lalu dibunuh dan dibangkitkan pada hari ketiga. Tetapi Petrus menarik Yesus ke samping dan menegor Dia, katanya: "Tuhan, kiranya Allah menjauhkan hal itu! Hal itu sekali-kali takkan menimpa Engkau." Maka Yesus berpaling dan berkata kepada Petrus: "Enyahlah Iblis. Engkau suatu batu sandungan bagi-Ku, sebab engkau bukan memikirkan apa yang dipikirkan Allah, melainkan apa yang dipikirkan manusia." Lalu Yesus berkata kepada murid-murid-Nya: "Setiap orang yang mau mengikut Aku, ia harus menyangkal dirinya, memikul salibnya dan mengikut Aku. Karena barangsiapa mau menyelamatkan nyawanya, ia akan kehilangan nyawanya; tetapi barangsiapa kehilangan nyawanya karena Aku, ia akan memperolehnya. Apa gunanya seorang memperoleh seluruh dunia tetapi kehilangan nyawanya? Dan apakah yang dapat diberikannya sebagai ganti nyawanya? Sebab Anak Manusia akan datang dalam kemuliaan Bapa-Nya diiringi malaikat-malaikat-Nya; pada waktu itu Ia akan membalas setiap orang menurut perbuatannya.
