Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Gloria – Creed
First Reading
Zechariah 12:10-11; 13:1
12
10“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of compassion and supplication, so that, when they look on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a first-born.
11On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning for Haʹdad-rimʹmon in the plain of Megidʹdo.
13
1“On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 63:2-6, 8-9
1O God, thou art my God, I seek thee, my soul thirsts for thee; my flesh faints for thee, as in a dry and weary land where no water is.
2So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary, beholding thy power and glory.
3Because thy steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise thee.
4So I will bless thee as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on thy name.
5My soul is feasted as with marrow and fat, and my mouth praises thee with joyful lips,
7for thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings I sing for joy.
8My soul clings to thee; thy right hand upholds me.
Second Reading
Galatians 3:26-29
26for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.
Gospel
Luke 9:18-24
18Now it happened that as he was praying alone the disciples were with him; and he asked them, “Who do the people say that I am?”
19And they answered, “John the Baptist; but others say, Eliʹjah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen.”
20And he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
21But he charged and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22saying, “The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.”
23And he said to all, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
24For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it.
