    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Acts 20:17-27

    17And from Mile'tus he sent to Ephesus and called to him the elders of the church. 18And when they came to him, he said to them: "You yourselves know how I lived among you all the time from the first day that I set foot in Asia, 19serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which befell me through the plots of the Jews;20how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, 21testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance to God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. 22And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, bound in the Spirit, not knowing what shall befall me there;23except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me. 24But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may accomplish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. 25And now, behold, I know that all you among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom will see my face no more. 26Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all of you, 27for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 68:10-11, 20-21

    9Rain in abundance, O God, thou didst shed abroad;thou didst restore thy heritage as it languished;10thy flock found a dwelling in it;in thy goodness, O God, thou didst provide for the needy. 19Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up;God is our salvation. [Selah] 20Our God is a God of salvation;and to GOD, the Lord, belongs escape from death.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    John 17:1-11

    1When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come;glorify thy Son that the Son may glorify thee, 2since thou hast given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. 3And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. 4I glorified thee on earth, having accomplished the work which thou gavest me to do;5and now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence with the glory which I had with thee before the world was made. 6"I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world;thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word. 7Now they know that everything that thou hast given me is from thee;8for I have given them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from thee;and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9I am praying for them;I am not praying for the world but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine;10all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.

    Easter Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Acts 15:22-31

    22Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsab'bas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren, 23with the following letter: "The brethren, both the apostles and the elders, to the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cili'cia, greeting. 24Since we have heard that some persons from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions, 25it has seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26men who have risked their lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. 28For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: 29that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from unchastity. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell." 30So when they were sent off, they went down to Antioch;and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter. 31And when they read it, they rejoiced at the exhortation.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 57:8-10, 12

    7My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! 8Awake, my soul! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! 9I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the peoples;I will sing praises to thee among the nations. 11Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let thy glory be over all the earth!

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    John 15:12-17

    12"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing;but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide;so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17This I command you, to love one another.
