Reading 1 – Philippians 3.17-4.1
Brothers and sisters , be imitators together of me,
and note those who walk this way,
even as you have us for an example.
For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping,
as enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction,
whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame,
who think about earthly things.
For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we await a Savior: the Lord Jesus Christ,
who will change our lowly body to be conformed to his glorified Body,
according to the power by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown,
stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
Responsorial – Psalm 34.2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9 Resp. 5
R. The Lord delivered me from all my fears.

His praise will always be in my mouth.
My soul shall boast in the Lord.
The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.
R. The Lord delivered me from all my fears.
Oh magnify the Lord with me.
Let us exalt his name together.
I sought the Lord, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
R. The Lord delivered me from all my fears.
They looked to him, and were radiant.
Their faces shall never be covered with shame.
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles.
R. The Lord delivered me from all my fears.
The angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear him and delivers them.
O taste and see that the Lord is good.
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
R. The Lord delivered me from all my fears.
Gospel – John 12.24-26
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat
falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone.
But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
Whoever loves their life will lose it.
Whoever hates their life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
If anyone serves me, let them follow me.
Where I am, there will my servant also be.
If anyone serves me, the Father will honor them.”

that you, always having enough of everything,
may abound to every good work.
As it is written:

Reading 1 – Acts 12.24-13.5a
The word of God grew and multiplied.
Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem,
when they had fulfilled their service,
also taking with them
John who was called Mark.
Now in the assembly that was at Antioch
there were some prophets and teachers:
Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger,
Lucius of Cyrene,
Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch,
and Saul.
As they served the Lord and fasted,
the Holy Spirit said,
“Set apart Barnabas and Saul for me,
for the work to which I have called them.”
Then, when they had fasted and prayed
and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit,
they went down to Seleucia.
From there they sailed to Cyprus.
When they were at Salamis,
they proclaimed the word of God
in the Jewish synagogues.

Reading 1 – Isaiah 42.1-7
“Behold, my servant, whom I uphold;
my chosen, in whom my soul delights:
I have put my Spirit on him.
He will bring justice to the nations.
He will not shout, nor raise his voice,
nor cause it to be heard in the street.
He will not break a bruised reed.
He will not quench a smoldering wick.
Until he has set justice in the earth,
the islands will wait for his law.”
Thus says the Lord God,
who created the heavens
and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth
and that which comes out of it,
who gives breath to its people
and spirit to those who walk in it:
“I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness,
and will hold your hand.
I formed you and will make you
a covenant for the people,
a light for the nations;
to open the blind eyes,
to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon,
and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.

R. The LORD is my light and my salvation.
When evildoers came at me
to eat up my flesh,
Indeed, my adversaries and my foes
stumbled and fell.
R. The LORD is my light and my salvation.
Though an army should encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear.
Though war should rise up against me,
even then I will be confident.
R. The LORD is my light and my salvation.
I believe that I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD; be of good courage.

Gospel – John 12.1-11
Six days before the Passover,
Jesus came to Bethany,
where Lazarus was, who had been dead,
whom he raised from the dead.
So they made him a supper there.
Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those
who sat at the table with him.
Mary, took a pound of ointment,
genuine nard, very expensive,
and anointed the feet of Jesus,
and wiped his feet with her hair.
The house was filled with
the fragrance of the ointment.
Then Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples,
who would betray him, said,
“Why not sell this ointment for three hundred denarii,
and give to the poor?”
Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor,
but because he was a thief, and having the money box,
used to steal what was put into it.
But Jesus said, “Leave her alone.
She has kept this for the day of my burial.
For you always have the poor with you,
but you do not always have me.”
A large crowd of the Jews learned that he was there,
and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only,
but that they might see Lazarus also,
whom he had raised from the dead.
But the chief priests conspired
to put Lazarus to death also,
because on account of him
many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

Gospel – Mark 11.1-10
When Jesus and his disciples
drew near to Jerusalem,
to Bethphage and Bethany,
at the Mount of Olives,
he sent two of his disciples,
and said to them,
“Go into the village that is opposite you.
Immediately as you enter into it,
you will find a young donkey tied,
on which no one has sat.
Untie him, and bring him.
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say,
‘The Lord needs him;’
and immediately he will send him back here.”
They went away, and found a young donkey
tied at the door outside in the open street,
and they untied him.
Some of those who stood there asked them,
“What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”
They said to them just as Jesus had said,
and they let them go.
They brought the young donkey to Jesus,
and threw their garments on it,
and Jesus sat on it.
Many spread their garments on the way,
and others were cutting down branches from the trees,
and spreading them on the road.
Those who went in front,
and those who followed, cried out,
“Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes
in the name of the Lord!
Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!
Hosanna in the highest!”
Or John 12.12-16
On the next day a great crowd
had come to the feast.
When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
they took the branches from the palm trees,
and went out to meet him, and cried out,
“Hosanna!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,
the King of Israel!”
Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it.
As it is written, “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion.
Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
His disciples did not understand these things at first,
but when Jesus was glorified,
then they remembered that these things
were written about him,
and that they had done these things to him.

Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord,
that I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel and the house of Judah:
not according to the covenant
that I made with their fathers
on the day that I took them by the hand
to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
This covenant of mine they broke,

But this is the covenant that I will make
with the house of Israel after those days,
says the Lord:
I will put my law within them,
and on their heart I will write it;
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people:
and they shall no longer teach,
every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying,
“Know the Lord”;
for they shall all know me,
from the least to the greatest,
says the Lord:
for I will forgive their iniquity,
and their sin will I remember no more.
