First reading Sir 35: 1-12
Fulfill the law of God is the same as the offering many sacrifices, and pay attention to all the commandments of God is the same as the sacrificial offering of salvation. Replying kindness
offer sacrifice together with grain and doles out equal to deliver a sacrifice of thanksgiving. Relayed by the Lord is to depart from evil, and refuse despotism is the same as a sin offering. Do not appear before the Lord empty-handed,
for they shall obey God. Sacrifice of the altar melemaki honest, and sweet to the presence of the Most High.
God is pleased with the sacrifice of people who are honest, and never forget.
Honor the Lord with generosity, and the first fruits in your hands do not kausedikitkan. Bring your gifts to the face cheerful,
and gladly sertakanlah a tenth part into the holy items. Give to the Most High in accordance with what is given you: that too must generously and according to your income. For God will avenge, and will reward you seven fold. Do not try to bribe God, for he will not accept!
Do not put expectations on sacrificial violence. Because God is impartial judge.
Thus saith the Lord.
Psalm Ps 50: 5-6.7-8.14.23
People who are upright, will see the salvation of God.
* Bring here the people who I love, who made a covenant with me, which confirmed the agreement with the sacrifice! "
Then the heavens proclaim his righteousness: God Himself Judge!
* Hear, O my people, I will say! Hear, O Israel, I will testify against you: I am God, your God! Not because the sacrifice you Kuhukum, for burnt offerings always there before me!
* Give thanks as a sacrifice to God, and pay nazarmu unto the Most High! Who is offering thanksgiving as a sacrifice, he glorified Me; and who is upright,
will see the salvation of God!
Introduction to the Gospel of Matthew 11:25
Blessed art thou Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because the mystery of the kingdom Kaunyatakan to the simple.
Gospel reading Mark 10: 28-31
After Jesus said how hard the rich to enter the Kingdom of God,
Peter said to Jesus, "Look, we have left everything to follow you." Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, whoever left the house, brothers and sisters, mother or father, children or fields at this time also he will receive a hundred fold of mothers, brothers, sisters, mother,
children and fields, even with persecutions; and in the future he will receive eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first. "
Thus the Gospel of the Lord.
Devotional.
There was a young man who just graduated from college, the long-haired kid in jeans perforated holes. Yes understand young people, but as soon as he received the advanced school and become a teacher, he could change completely. Now looks neat, short hair, clean clothes. Status of work as a teacher changed his life that had been arbitrarily to the appearance of a teacher who should set an example to his students. Such status or dignity of a person can change the behavior and lifestyle of the person.
St. Peter thinking about the same as the above. Now we all have to be disciples of disciples of Christ, now we're all God's people, the children of God. As the people of God of course we have to be worthy of the life of this new dignity. St. Peter said: Should you be holy in all your conduct, just as He who has called you is holy ..... Let ye holy, as God's holy presence. We have been redeemed by the holy God, then we must live up to the status of people who bought it, which is holy, to live well, not indulgence, In the language of the Gospel, let us dare to leave everything and follow Christ.
Item contemplation.
It is fine if there are people who dreams aspirations to become saints. Yes why not, but holiness should not be the purpose of our life, unity with God remains the goal. Being holy is the fruit of unity with God. That means, if we persist in doing good, do not get angry when made annoyance, forgive when he gets the treatment is not good, smile at your friends who have betrayed us, we're expressing dignity we are as children of God and disciples of disciples of Christ is good, it is should we have to do.
Prayer.
Yes God is benevolent and eternal, He shall strengthen our unity and cohesion among your people, Help us to mutually open, trusting and willing to accept our neighbor is in accordance with your will. Amen.
