Monday, May 16 : Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 22,28-34.
‘You are those who have stood by me in my trials;
and I confer on you, just as my Father has conferred on me, a kingdom,
so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
‘Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat,
but I have prayed for you that your own faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.’
And he said to him, ‘Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death!’
Jesus said, ‘I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow this day, until you have denied three times that you know me.’
