Sirach 51:12-20
12for thou didst save me from destruction and rescue me from an evil plight. Therefore I will give thanks to thee and praise thee, and I will bless the name of the Lord.
13While I was still young, before I went on my travels, I sought wisdom openly in my prayer.
14Before the temple I asked for her, and I will search for her to the last.
15From blossom to ripening grape my heart delighted in her; my foot entered upon the straight path; from my youth I followed her steps.
16I inclined my ear a little and received her, and I found for myself much instruction.
17I made progress therein; to him who gives wisdom I will give glory.
18For I resolved to live according to wisdom, and I was zealous for the good; and I shall never be put to shame.
19My soul grappled with wisdom, and in my conduct I was strict; I spread out my hands to the heavens, and lamented my ignorance of her.
20I directed my soul to her, and through purification I found her. I gained understanding with her from the first, therefore I will not be forsaken.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 19:8-11
7The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
8the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
10More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Gospel
Mark 11:27-33
27And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him,
28and they said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?”
29Jesus said to them, “I will ask you a question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men? Answer me.”
31And they argued with one another, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
32But shall we say, ‘From men’?”—they were afraid of the people, for all held that John was a real prophet.
33So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23
16For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
17For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with a commission.
18What then is my reward? Just this: that in my preaching I may make the gospel free of charge, not making full use of my right in the gospel.
19For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more.
22To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
23I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 96:1-3, 7-8, 10
1O sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth!
2Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.
3Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!
7Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
8Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts!
10Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns! Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.”
Gospel
Matthew 16:13-19
13Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesareʹa Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that the Son of man is?”
14And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Eliʹjah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.
19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
