St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein), Virgin and Martyr (Optional Memorial)

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

Jeremiah 31:31-34 Psalm 51:12-15, 18-19 Matthew 16:13-23 Christ, indeed, always associates the Church with himself in this great work in which God is perfectly glorified and men are sanctified. The Church is his beloved Bride who calls to her Lord and through him offers worship to the eternal Father. -- Sacrosanctum concilium
