Thus they will know, as we know, that there is no God but you, O Lord Give new signs and work new wonders. Gather all the tribes of Jacob, that they may inherit the land as of old, Show mercy to the people called by your name Israel, whom you named your firstborn Take pity on your holy city, Fill Zion with your majesty, your temple with your glory Give evidence of your deeds of old fulfill the prophecies spoken in your name, Reward those who have hoped in you, and let your prophets be proved true Hear the prayer of your servants, for you are ever gracious to your people; and lead us in the way of justice. Thus it will be known to the very ends of the earth ur people; and lead us in the way of justice. Thus it will be known to the very ends of the earth that you are the eternal God. Ps 79:8, 9, 11 and 13 Responsorial Psalm R. (Sirach 36:1b) Show us, O Lord, the light of your kindness. Remember not against us the iniquities of the past; may your compassion quickly come the light of your kindness. Mk 10:32-45 Gospel The disciples were on the way, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went ahead of them They were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. Taking the Twelve aside again, he began to tell them what was going to happen to him“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and hand him over to the Gentiles who will mock him, spit upon him, scourge him, and put him to death, but after three days he will rise.” Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to him,‘Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” He replied, ‘What do you wish me to do for you?” They answered him,“Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left.” Can you drink the chalice that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” They said to him, ‘We can.” and with the baptism with which I am baptized you will be baptized but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared.” When the ten heard this, they became indignant at James and John.“You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
