    Reading I

    Beloved:
    Concerning the salvation of your souls
    the 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.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R.        (2a)  The Lord has made known his salvation.
    Sing to the LORD a new song,
                for he has done wondrous deeds;
    His right hand has won victory for him,
                his holy arm.
    R.        The Lord has made known his salvation.
    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.
    R.        The Lord has made known his salvation.
    All the ends of the earth have seen
                the salvation by our God.
    Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
                break into song; sing praise.
    R.        The Lord has made known his salvation.

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth;
    you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    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.”
