First Reading — The name of the LORD has become like fire burning in Jeremiah’s heart

(Jeremiah 20:7-9).

Psalm — My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God (Psalm 63).

Second Reading — Be transformed; renew your mind; discern what is good (Romans 12:1-2).

Gospel — Those who lose their lives for Jesus’ sake will find them (Matthew 16:21-27).

THE CROSS OF JESUS

The perception of a cross changed dramatically after

Jesus’ crucifixion. Before that event, death on a cross was

not only horrible, it was degrading. It was a penalty re-

served only for the most wretched of criminals. The word

“glory” would not have found its way into the same sen-

tence containing the word “cross.” But all that changed

with Jesus. Over time, believers began to venerate and

honor the cross. They painted, sculpted, and carved imag-

es of it. Many lost their own lives for their association with

it. Today our reverence for and relationship with the cross

recalls little of the contempt originally associated with it.

As it has been through the ages, it is our perception of the

cross that determines how we follow Jesus.
