PRAYING OF THE PSALM

ANTIPHON: I will extol You, O LORD, for You havelifted me up.

PSALM 30

I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up,And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

O LORD my God,I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

O LORD, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;You have kept me alive,

that I would not go down to the pit.

Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones,And give thanks to His holy name.

For His anger is but for a moment,His favor is for a lifetime;

Weeping may last for the night,But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

PSALM 12

Help, LORD, for the godly man ceases to be,For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.

They speak falsehood to one another; With flattering lips and with a double heart they speak.

May the LORD cut off all flattering lips,The tongue that speaks great things;

Who have said, With our tongue we will prevail;Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?

Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of thegroaning of the needy,Now I will arise, says the LORD; I will set him in the

safety for which he longs.

The words of the LORD are pure words;As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven

times.

You, O LORD, will keep them;You will preserve him from this generation forever.

The wicked strut about on every side When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

Glory to the Father and to the Sonand to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning is now

and will be for ever. Amen

ANTIPHON 2: The Lord will preserve thisgeneration forever.

A period of silent reflection is observed. After the silent reflection, all stand for the proclamation of the Gospel.

PROCLAMATION OF THE GOSPEL (16:13-20)

V. The Lord be with you.R. And with your spirit.

V. ! A reading from the Holy Gospel according toMatthewR. Glory to you, O Lord.

When Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, Hewas asking His disciples, Who do people say that the Son ofMan is? And they said, Some say John the Baptist; andothers, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of theprophets. He said to them, But who do you say that I am?Simon Peter answered, You are the Christ, the Son of theliving God. And Jesus said to him, Blessed are you, SimonBarjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you,

but My Father who is in heaven. I also say to you that youare Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and thegates of Hades will not overpower it. I will give you the keysof the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earthshall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose onearth shall have been loosed in heaven. Then He warned thedisciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ.

The Gospel of the Lord.

R. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

(

Globalization, as Benedict XVI pointed out, makes us neighbours, butdoes not make us brothers.[1] The many situations of inequality, povertyand injustice, are signs not only of a profound lack of fraternity, but alsoof the absence of a culture of solidarity. New ideologies, characterized by

rampant individualism, egocentrism and materialistic consumerism,weaken social bonds, fuelling that throw away mentality which leadsto contempt for, and the abandonment of, the weakest and thoseconsidered useless. In this way human coexistence increasingly tendsto resemble a mere do ut des which is both pragmatic and selfish.

At the same time, it appears clear that contemporary ethical systemsremain incapable of producing authentic bonds of fraternity, since a

fraternity devoid of reference to a common Father as its ultimate

foundation is unable to endure.[2] True brotherhood among people presupposes and demands a transcendent Fatherhood. Based on therecognition of this fatherhood, human fraternity is consolidated: each

person becomes a neighbour who cares for others.

A period of silent reflection is observed after the homily or suggested reflection.
