Matthew 16:21-28
21 From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and undergo great suffering at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes and be killed and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This must never happen to you." 23 But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me, for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things." 2Then Jesus told his disciples, "If any wish to come after me, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.26 For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life? 27 "For the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay everyone for what has been done. 28 Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

Voice 1 Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us
Voice 2 Forgive us our failings in love, and free us from all falseness,
Voice 3 Release us from the things we have done wrong,

Voice 2 that the light of our souls may shine
Voice 3 Guide us away from the things that tempt us to stray from your good road
Voice 1 but deliver us from evil
Voice 2 and help the strength of our spirits endure for earth and all its people
Voice 3 and set us free from the evil one & his worthless ways.
Voice 1 For the kingdom, the power, & the glory are yours forever
Voice 2 this day, tonight, and forever.
Voice 1 Amen!
Voice 2 Yes, I commit!
Voice 3 Aho! May it be so!

and the source of freedom for those held captive.
Make us strong to witness to your liberating power,
in generosity of life and in humility of spirit,
that all the world may delight in your goodness. Amen.
