First Reading
Haggai 2:1-9
1in the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet,
2“Speak now to Zerubʹbabel the son of She-alʹti-el, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehoʹzadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say,
3‘Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it not in your sight as nothing?
4Yet now take courage, O Zerubʹbabel, says the LORD; take courage, O Joshua, son of Jehoʹzadak, the high priest; take courage, all you people of the land, says the LORD; work, for I am with you, says the LORD of hosts,
5according to the promise that I made you when you came out of Egypt. My Spirit abides among you; fear not.
6For thus says the LORD of hosts: Once again, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land;
7and I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with splendor, says the LORD of hosts.
8The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts.
9The latter splendor of this house shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts; and in this place I will give prosperity, says the LORD of hosts.’ ”
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 43:1-4
1Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people; from deceitful and unjust men deliver me!
2For thou art the God in whom I take refuge; why hast thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me, let them bring me to thy holy hill and to thy dwelling!
4Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy; and I will praise thee with the lyre, O God, my God.
Gospel
Luke 9:18-22
18Now it happened that as he was praying alone the disciples were with him; and he asked them, “Who do the people say that I am?”
19And they answered, “John the Baptist; but others say, Eliʹjah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen.”
20And he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
21But he charged and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22saying, “The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.”
