TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY A Lectionary #124
It is not always easy to be faithful to God. Fidelity may require embarrassment, suffering, and even death.
Jeremiah 20:7–9. Addressing God, the prophet claims that he was tricked. He was glad to be chosen as a prophet, but then he found himself having to proclaim “violence and outrage,” not just once in a while but all the time. He tries to keep his mouth shut, but the word will not be silenced.
Psalm of the Day: Ps (62) 63
This psalm contains some of the strongest language of trust in God to be found in the whole Psalter.

Romans 12:1–2. Faith affects everything we are and do. We have to allow ourselves to be totally “transformed by the renewal” of our mind. Only then will we begin to understand the will of God.
Matthew 16:21–27. “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny personal preferences, take up the cross, and follow me.” This is the way to life.
