    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Acts 18:9-18

    9And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;10for I am with you, and no man shall attack you to harm you;for I have many people in this city." 11And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. 12But when Gallio was proconsul of Acha'ia, the Jews made a united attack upon Paul and brought him before the tribunal, 13saying, "This man is persuading men to worship God contrary to the law." 14But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, I should have reason to bear with you, O Jews;15but since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves;I refuse to be a judge of these things." 16And he drove them from the tribunal. 17And they all seized Sos'thenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to this. 18After this Paul stayed many days longer, and then took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aq'uila. At Cen'chre-ae he cut his hair, for he had a vow.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 47:2-7

    1Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy! 2For the LORD, the Most High, is terrible, a great king over all the earth. 3He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet. 4He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves. [Selah] 5God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 6Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises!

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    John 16:20-23

    20Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice;you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. 21When a woman is in travail she has sorrow, because her hour has come;but when she is delivered of the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a child is born into the world. 22So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. 23In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

  • TUESDAY SEVENTH WEEK OF EASTER 2018:

    Easter Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Acts 20:17-27

    From Miletus Paul had the presbyters
    of the Church at Ephesus summoned.
    When they came to him, he addressed them,
    “You know how I lived among you
    the whole time from the day I first came to the province of Asia.
    I served the Lord with all humility
    and with the tears and trials that came to me
    because of the plots of the Jews,
    and I did not at all shrink from telling you
    what was for your benefit,
    or from teaching you in public or in your homes.
    I earnestly bore witness for both Jews and Greeks
    to repentance before God and to faith in our Lord Jesus.
    But now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem.
    What will happen to me there I do not know,
    except that in one city after another
    the Holy Spirit has been warning me
    that imprisonment and hardships await me.
    Yet I consider life of no importance to me,
    if only I may finish my course
    and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus,
    to bear witness to the Gospel of God’s grace.

    “But now I know that none of you
    to whom I preached the kingdom during my travels
    will ever see my face again.
    And so I solemnly declare to you this day
    that I am not responsible for the blood of any of you,
    for I did not shrink from proclaiming to you the entire plan of God.”

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalm 68:10-11, 20-21

    A bountiful rain you showered down, O God, upon your inheritance;

    Your flock settled in it;
    in your goodness, O God, you provided it for the needy.
    R. Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Blessed day by day be the Lord,
    who bears our burdens;God, who is our salvation.
    God is a saving God for us;
    the LORD, my Lord, controls the passageways of death.
    R. Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    John 17:1-11a

    Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said,
    “Father, the hour has come.
    Give glory to your son, so that your son may glorify you,
    just as you gave him authority over all people,
    so that your son may give eternal life to all you gave him.
    Now this is eternal life,
    that they should know you, the only true God,
    and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
    I glorified you on earth
    by accomplishing the work that you gave me to do.
    Now glorify me, Father, with you,
    with the glory that I had with you before the world began.

    “I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world.
    They belonged to you, and you gave them to me,
    and they have kept your word.
    Now they know that everything you gave me is from you,
    because the words you gave to me I have given to them,
    and they accepted them and truly understood that I came from you,
    and they have believed that you sent me.
    I pray for them.
    I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me,
    because they are yours, and everything of mine is yours
    and everything of yours is mine,
    and I have been glorified in them.
    And now I will no longer be in the world,
    but they are in the world, while I am coming to you.”
