Gospel Reading : Matthew 20:22b-23
“Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?” They said to him, “We can.” He replied, “My chalice you will indeed drink, but to sit at my right and at my left, this is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
Lord, I do desire to drink the chalice You drank.
I desire to receive Your Precious Body and Blood and in that reception to receive the strength and grace I need to follow You in Your sufferings.
As I follow You in Your sufferings, help me also to share in Your glory.
Jesus, I trust in You.
Amen.
