Gospel for Saint Clare of Assisi, Virgin

Matthew 19:27-29

Summary: Jesus promises that those who sacrifice for his sake will receive far more in return, including eternal life and a special place with him in the new world.

The Reward of Following Christ

Peter said to Jesus, “We have given up everything and followed you. What will there be for us?”

Jesus said to them, “Amen, I say to you that you who have followed me, in the new age, when the Son of Man is seated on his throne of glory, will yourselves sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for the sake of my name will receive a hundred times more, and will inherit eternal life.”
