    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Acts 16:11-15

    11Setting sail therefore from Tro'as, we made a direct voyage to Sam'othrace, and the following day to Ne-ap'olis, 12and from there to Philip'pi, which is the leading city of the district of Macedo'nia, and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days; 13and on the sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together. 14One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyati'ra, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to give heed to what was said by Paul. 15And when she was baptized, with her household, she besought us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 149:1-6, 9

    1Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful! 2Let Israel be glad in his Maker, let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King! 3Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with timbrel and lyre! 4For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with victory. 5Let the faithful exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their couches. 6Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands, 9to execute on them the judgment written! This is glory for all his faithful ones. Praise the LORD!

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    John 15:26--16:4

    1526But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me; 27and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning.161"I have said all this to you to keep you from falling away. 2They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 3And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you of them. "I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

  • FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER 2025:

    Easter Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Acts 13:14, 43-52

    Paul and Barnabas continued on from Perga
    and reached Antioch in Pisidia.
    On the sabbath they entered the synagogue and took their seats.
    Many Jews and worshipers who were converts to Judaism
    followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them
    and urged them to remain faithful to the grace of God.
    On the following sabbath almost the whole city gathered
    to hear the word of the Lord.
    When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy
    and with violent abuse contradicted what Paul said.
    Both Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said,
    "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first,
    but since you reject it
    and condemn yourselves as unworthy of eternal life,
    we now turn to the Gentiles.
    For so the Lord has commanded us,
    I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be an instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth."
    The Gentiles were delighted when they heard this
    and glorified the word of the Lord.
    All who were destined for eternal life came to believe,
    and the word of the Lord continued to spread
    through the whole region.
    The Jews, however, incited the women of prominence who were worshipers
    and the leading men of the city,
    stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas,
    and expelled them from their territory.
    So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them,
    and went to Iconium.
    The disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Ps 100:1-2, 3, 5

    R. (3c)
    We are his people, the sheep of his flock.
    or:
    R.Alleluia.
    Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
    serve the LORD with gladness;
    come before him with joyful song.
    R.We are his people, the sheep of his flock.
    or:
    R.Alleluia.
    Know that the LORD is God;
    he made us, his we are;
    his people, the flock he tends.
    R.We are his people, the sheep of his flock.
    or:
    R.Alleluia.
    The LORD is good:
    his kindness endures forever,
    and his faithfulness, to all generations.
    R.We are his people, the sheep of his flock.
    or:
    R.Alleluia.

    SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Rev 7:9, 14b-17

    I, John, had a vision of a great multitude,
    which no one could count,
    from every nation, race, people, and tongue.
    They stood before the throne and before the Lamb,
    wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.
    Then one of the elders said to me,
    "These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress;
    they have washed their robes
    and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
    "For this reason they stand before God’s throne
    and worship him day and night in his temple.
    The one who sits on the throne will shelter them.
    They will not hunger or thirst anymore,
    nor will the sun or any heat strike them.
    For the Lamb who is in the center of the throne
    will shepherd them
    and lead them to springs of life-giving water,
    and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Jn 10:27-30

    Jesus said:
    "My sheep hear my voice;
    I know them, and they follow me.
    I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
    No one can take them out of my hand.
    My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all,
    and no one can take them out of the Father’s hand.
    The Father and I are one."
