Revelation 14:1-5
1Then I looked, and lo, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.
2And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder; the voice I heard was like the sound of harpers playing on their harps,
3and they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.
4It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are chaste; it is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes; these have been redeemed from mankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb,
5and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are spotless.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 24:1-6
1The earth is the LORD’s and the fulness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein;
2for he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the rivers.
3Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place?
4He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false, and does not swear deceitfully.
5He will receive blessing from the LORD, and vindication from the God of his salvation.
6Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Selah
Gospel
Luke 21:1-4
1He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury;
2and he saw a poor widow put in two copper coins.
3And he said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them;
4for they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all the living that she had.”

Ephesians 1:3-14
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,
4even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.
5He destined us in love to be his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,
6to the praise of his glorious grace which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.
7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
8which he lavished upon us.
9For he has made known to us in all wisdom and insight the mystery of his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ
10as a plan for the fulness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
11In him, according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his will,
12we who first hoped in Christ have been destined and appointed to live for the praise of his glory.
13In him you also, who have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
14who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 85:2-4, 7-11
1LORD, thou wast favorable to thy land; thou didst restore the fortunes of Jacob.
2Thou didst forgive the iniquity of thy people; thou didst pardon all their sin. Selah
3Thou didst withdraw all thy wrath; thou didst turn from thy hot anger.
6Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7Show us thy steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
8Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints, to those who turn to him in their hearts.
9Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other.
Gospel
Matthew 16:24-27
24Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
25For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
26For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give in return for his life?
27For the Son of man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay every man for what he has done.
