See, over the mountains the messenger hurries! 'Peace' he proclaims.
Judah, celebrate your feasts, carry out your vows,
for Belial will never pass through you again; he is utterly annihilated.
Yes, the Lord is restoring the vineyard of Jacob and the Vineyard of Israel.
For the plunderers had plundered them, they had broken off their branches.
Mass Readings
Jesus said to his disciples: "If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me. For anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake will find it. What then, will a man gain if he wins the whole world and ruins his life? Or what has a man to offer in exchange for his life?
"For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and, when he does, he will reward each one according to he behaviour. I tell you solemnly, there are some of these standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming with his kingdom."
