Reading 1 – 1 Peter 5.1-4
Beloved:
Therefore I exhort the presbyters among you, as a fellow presbyter,
and a witness of the sufferings of Christ,
who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
shepherd the flock of God which is among you,
exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily,
not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
nor as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
Responsorial – Psalm 23.1-3a, 4, 5, 6 Resp. 1
R. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He has me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
R. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Your rod and your staff –
they comfort me.
R. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
You prepare a table before me,
in the presence of my foes.
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
R. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
R. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Gospel – Matthew 16.13-19
When Jesus came into
the region of Caesarea Philippi,
he asked his disciples, saying,
“Who do humans say that the Son of Human is?”
They said, “Some say John the Baptist,
some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah,
or one of the prophets.”
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter answered,
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah,
for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you,
but my Father who is in heaven.
I also tell you that you are Peter,
and on this rock I will build my Church,
and the gates of the underworld will not prevail against it.
I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven,
and whatever you bind on earth
will have been bound in heaven;
and whatever you release on earth
will be released in heaven.”

Reading 1 - Jeremiah 31.31-34
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,
although I was a husband to them,
says the Lord.
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.
Responsorial - Psalm 51.12-13, 14-15, 18-19 Resp. 12a
R. Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a right spirit within me.
Do not cast me out from your presence,
and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
R. Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation.
Uphold me with a willing spirit.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways.
Sinners shall be converted to you.
R. Create in me a clean heart, O God.
For you do not delight in sacrifice.
I would give a burnt offering, but you have no pleasure in it.
My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit.
A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
R. Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Gospel – Matthew 16.13-23
When Jesus came into
the region of Caesarea Philippi,
he asked his disciples, saying,
“Who do humans say that the Son of Human is?”
They said, “Some say John the Baptist,
some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah,
or one of the prophets.”
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter answered,
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah,
for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you,
but my Father who is in heaven.
I also tell you that you are Peter,
and on this rock I will build my Church,
and the gates of the underworld will not prevail against it.
I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven,
and whatever you bind on earth
will have been bound in heaven;
and whatever you release on earth
will be released in heaven.”
Then he commanded the disciples
that they should tell no one
that he was the Christ.
From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples
that he must go to Jerusalem
and suffer many things from
the elders, chief priests, and scribes,
and be killed, and on the third day be raised up.
Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying,
“Mercy to you, Lord! This will never be done to you.”
But he turned, and said to Peter,
“Get behind me, Satan!
You are a stumbling block to me,
for you are not setting your mind on the things of God,
but on the things of humans.”

Reading 1 – Acts 12.1-11
About that time, King Herod stretched out his hands
to oppress some of the Church.
He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
When he saw that it pleased the Jews,
he proceeded to arrest Peter also.
This was during the days of unleavened bread.
When he had arrested him,
he put him in prison,
and delivered him to
four squads of four soldiers each to guard him,
intending to bring him out to the people
after the Passover.
Peter therefore was kept in the prison,
but constant prayer was made
by the Church to God for him.
The same night when Herod was about to bring him out,
Peter was sleeping between two soldiers,
bound with two chains.
Guards in front of the door kept the prison.
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him,
and a light shone in the cell.
He struck Peter on the side,
and woke him up, saying,
“Stand up quickly!”
His chains fell off from his hands.
The angel said to him,
“Get dressed and put on your sandals.”
He did so.
He said to him, “Put on your cloak, and follow me.”
And he went out and followed him.
He did not know that
what was being done by the angel was real,
but thought he saw a vision.
When they were past the first and the second guard,
they came to the iron gate that leads into the city,
which opened to them by itself.
They went out, and went down one street,
and immediately the angel departed from him.
When Peter had come to himself, he said,
“Now I truly know that
the Lord has sent out his angel
and delivered me out of the hand of Herod,
and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.”
Responsorial - Psalm 34.2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9 Resp. 8
R. The angel of the Lord delivers those who fear him.
I will bless the Lord at all times.
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 angel of the Lord delivers those who fear him.
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 angel of the Lord delivers those who fear him.
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 angel of the Lord delivers those who fear him.
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 angel of the Lord delivers those who fear him.
Reading 2 – 2 Timothy 4.6-8, 17-18
I, Paul, already am being poured out as a libation,
and the time of my departure has come.
I have fought the good fight.
I have finished the race.
I have kept the faith.
From now on, there is stored up for me
the crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous judge,
will give to me on that day;
and not to me only,
but also to all those
who have longed for his appearance.
The Lord stood by me and strengthened me,
that through me the message
might be fully proclaimed,
and that all the Gentiles might hear;
and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work,
and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom;
to him be glory forever and ever. Amen.
