Gospel: Matthew 16:21-27
21 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 the third day be raised up.
22 Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you."
23 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 men."
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
26 For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

Jeremiah 20:7-9
7 LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded;
you are stronger than I, and have prevailed.
I have become a laughing-stock all day.
Every one mocks me.
8 For as often as I speak, I cry out;
I cry, Violence and destruction!
because the LORD's word has been made a reproach to me,
and a derision, all day.
9 If I say, I will not make mention of him,
nor speak any more in his name,
then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones,
and I am weary with holding it in,
and I can't.

Romans 12:1-2
1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.
2 Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.
