*PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
Redeeming Lord, we
find it extremely difficult to deny ourselves. Our relationships and our future
aspirations often seem absent of glorifying your holy name. Instead, we deceive
ourselves into equating good works with faithful discipleship. The gospel
reminds us that we are called to bridge the gap between casual commitment and
true discipleship. We give this offering as a way to move toward closer
discipleship with you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Jesus
Foretells His Death and Resurrection
Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must
undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and
the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. He
said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But
turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, ‘Get behind
me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human
things.’
He called the crowd with his disciples, and said to them,
‘If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their
cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will
lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the
gospel, will save it. For what will it profit
them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life? Indeed,
what can they give in return for their life? Those
who are ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and
sinful generation, of them the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in
the glory of his Father with the holy angels.’
