Tuesday of the Eighth week in Ordinary Time

Tuesday of the Eighth week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

First Letter of Peter

1,10-16.

]Beloved: Concerning this salvation, 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."

Psalm

Psalms

98(97),1.2-3ab.3c-4.

]Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done wondrous deeds;
His right hand has won victory for him,
his holy arm.
]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.
]All the ends of the earth have seen
]Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
break into song; sing praise.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark

10,28-31.

]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."

Sts. Donatian & Rogatian(Martyrs (c. 287))

SAINTS DONATIAN & ROGATIAN Martyrs (c. 287) Saints Donatian and Rogatian were brothers and noblemen from Nantes, France. Donatian, the younger brother, was baptized first. He preached the Gospel and soon converted his brother. Rogatian, the elder, desired baptism, but was unable because the bishop had fled. Donatian was imprisoned for preaching the Gospel and Rogatian was imprisoned soon after. They were sentenced to death after refusing to apostatize. Before their martyrdom, they prayed that Rogatian's sacrifice would be his baptism. The following morning, they were torn asunder by the rack and their hands were pierced with lances. They were then dismembered. The brothers' sacrifices were not in vain because they edified the Church and helped souls encounter Christ. They gained the beatific vision and were welcomed by Christ into Heaven. It is crucial to speak about our faith with everyone, and more importantly to pray.
