The Prophet Zechariah

3:26-29
St Paul speaks of the
unity which faith brings.
Gospel: Luke 9:18-24
Jesus asked his
disciples who the people said he was. He learned that some said he was John the
Baptist while others thought he might be Elijah. He asked the disciples
themselves who they thought he was. Peter, speaking for all them, said he was
the messiah, the one that Israel had been waiting for. Jesus immediately told
them to say nothing of this to anyone because he had much yet to suffer. In
order to help his followers understand the commitment of discipleship, he
explained that they must take up their own crosses--that is, make sacrifices--in
order to follow him.
