First Reading - Is 53:10-11
The Lord was pleased to
crush him in infirmity. If he
gives his life as an offering for
sin, he shall see his descendants
in a long life, and the will of the
Lord shall be accomplished
through him.
Because of his affliction he
shall see the light in fullness of
days.
Through his suffering, my
servant shall justify many, and
their guilt he shall bear.
Responsorial Psalm - Ps 33
R –Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you!
* Upright is the word of the
Lord, and all his works are
trustworthy. He loves justice
and right; of the kindness of
the Lord the earth is full. R.
* See, the eyes of the Lord
are upon those who fear him,
upon those who hope for his
kindness, to deliver them from
death and preserve them in
spite of famine. R.
* Our soul waits for the
Lord, who is our help and our
shield. May your kindness, O
Lord, be upon us who have put
our hope in you. R.
Second Reading - Heb 4:14-16
Brothers and sisters:
Since we have a great high
priest who has passed through
the heavens, Jesus, the Son of
God, let us hold fast to our profession of faith.
For we do not have a high
priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses,
but one who has similarly been
tested in every way, yet without
sin.
So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to
receive mercy and to fi nd grace
for timely help.
Gospel Acclamation
All – Alleluia! Alleluia!
The Son of Man came to
serve and to give his life as
a ransom for many.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Gospel - Mk 10:35-45
James and John, the sons
of Zebedee, came to Jesus and
said to him, “Teacher, we want
you to do for us whatever we
ask of you.” He replied, “What
do you wish me to do for you?”
They answered him, “Grant
that in your glory we may sit
one at your right and the other at your left.” Jesus said to
them, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink
the cup that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with
which I am baptized?” They
said to him, “We can!” Jesus
said to them, “The cup that I
drink, you will drink, and with
the baptism with which I am
baptized, you will be baptized;
but to sit at my right or at my
left is not mine to give but is
for those for whom it has been
prepared.”
When the ten heard this,
they became indignant at
James and John.
Jesus summoned the
Twelve and said to them, “You
know that those who are recognized as rulers over the
Gentiles lord it over them, and
their great ones make their
authority over them felt. But
it shall not be so among you.
Rather, whoever wishes to be
great among you will be your
servant; whoever wishes to
be first among you will be the
slave of all. For the Son of Man
did not come to be served but
to serve and to give his life as a
ransom for many.”
