Stay awake!
Happy those servants who are alert and ready
when their master comes.
When much is given, more will be demanded.
When a great deal is given on trust,
a great deal more is expected.
Stay awake!
‘Why are you sleeping?’ Jesus said.
‘Rise and pray, that you may be spared the test.’
Gospel Reading - For the sake of the gospel
31Then he began to tell them about the terrible things he would suffer,a and that he would be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the other Jewish leaders — and be killed, and that he would rise again three days afterwards. 32He talked about it quite frankly with them, so Peter took him aside and chided him.b “You shouldn’t say things like that,” he told Jesus.
33Jesus turned and looked at his disciples and then said to Peter very sternly, “Satan, get behind me! You are looking at this only from a human point of view and not from God’s.”
34Then he called his disciples and the crowds to come over and listen. “If any of you wants to be my follower,” he told them, “you must put aside your own pleasures and shoulder your cross, and follow me closely. 35If you insist on saving your life, you will lose it. Only those who throw away their lives for my sake and for the sake of the Good News will ever know what it means to really live.

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.
