  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 16:22-34

  22The crowd joined in attacking them; and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods. 23And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely. 24Having received this charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. 25But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, 26and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and every one's fetters were unfastened. 27When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 28But Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here." 29And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas, 30and brought them out and said, "Men, what must I do to be saved?" 31And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." 32And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house. 33And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds, and he was baptized at once, with all his family. 34Then he brought them up into his house, and set food before them; and he rejoiced with all his household that he had believed in God.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 138:1-3, 7-8

  1I give thee thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing thy praise; 2I bow down toward thy holy temple and give thanks to thy name for thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness; for thou hast exalted above everything thy name and thy word. 3On the day I called, thou didst answer me, my strength of soul thou didst increase. 7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou dost preserve my life; thou dost stretch out thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand delivers me. 8The LORD will fulfil his purpose for me; thy steadfast love, O LORD, endures for ever. Do not forsake the work of thy hands.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  John 16:5-11

  5But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, `Where are you going?' 6But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. 7Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 10concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more; 11concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 20:28-38

  At Miletus, Paul spoke to the presbyters of the Church of Ephesus:
  “Keep watch over yourselves and over the whole flock
  of which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers,
  in which you tend the Church of God
  that he acquired with his own Blood.
  I know that after my departure savage wolves will come among you,
  and they will not spare the flock.
  And from your own group, men will come forward perverting the truth
  to draw the disciples away after them.
  So be vigilant and remember that for three years, night and day,
  I unceasingly admonished each of you with tears.
  And now I commend you to God
  and to that gracious word of his that can build you up
  and give you the inheritance among all who are consecrated.
  I have never wanted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.
  You know well that these very hands
  have served my needs and my companions.
  In every way I have shown you that by hard work of that sort
  we must help the weak,
  and keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus who himself said,
  ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
  
  When he had finished speaking
  he knelt down and prayed with them all.
  They were all weeping loudly
  as they threw their arms around Paul and kissed him,
  for they were deeply distressed that he had said
  that they would never see his face again.
  Then they escorted him to the ship.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  John 17:11b-19

  Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed, saying:
  “Holy Father, keep them in your name
  that you have given me,
  so that they may be one just as we are one.
  When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me,
  and I guarded them, and none of them was lost
  except the son of destruction,
  in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
  But now I am coming to you.
  I speak this in the world
  so that they may share my joy completely.
  I gave them your word, and the world hated them,
  because they do not belong to the world
  any more than I belong to the world.
  I do not ask that you take them out of the world
  but that you keep them from the Evil One.
  They do not belong to the world
  any more than I belong to the world.
  Consecrate them in the truth.
  Your word is truth.
  As you sent me into the world,
  so I sent them into the world.
  And I consecrate myself for them,
  so that they also may be consecrated in truth.”
