    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Acts 2:44-47

    44And all who believed were together and had all things in common; 45and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, as any had need. 46And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts, 47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Colossians 3:12-17

    12Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience, 13forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

    SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Psalms 131:1-3

    1O LORD, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. 2But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a child quieted at its mother's breast; like a child that is quieted is my soul. 3O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Luke 12:22-31

    22And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall put on. 23For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! 25And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of life? 26If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? 27Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28But if God so clothes the grass which is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith! 29And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind. 30For all the nations of the world seek these things; and your Father knows that you need them. 31Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well.

    Easter Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Acts 14:21-27

    After Paul and Barnabas had proclaimed the good news
    to that city
    and made a considerable number of disciples,
    they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch.
    They strengthened the spirits of the disciples
    and exhorted them to persevere in the faith, saying,
    "It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships
    to enter the kingdom of God."
    They appointed elders for them in each church and,
    with prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord
    in whom they had put their faith.
    Then they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.
    After proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia.
    From there they sailed to Antioch,
    where they had been commended to the grace of God
    for the work they had now accomplished.
    And when they arrived, they called the church together
    and reported what God had done with them
    and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Ps 145:8-9, 10-11, 12-13

    R. (cf. 1)
    I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.
    or:
    R.Alleluia.
    The LORD is gracious and merciful,
    slow to anger and of great kindness.
    The LORD is good to all
    and compassionate toward all his works.
    R.I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.
    or:
    R.Alleluia.
    Let all your works give you thanks, O LORD,
    and let your faithful ones bless you.
    Let them discourse of the glory of your kingdom
    and speak of your might.
    R.I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.
    or:
    R.Alleluia.
    Let them make known your might to the children of Adam,
    and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
    Your kingdom is a kingdom for all ages,
    and your dominion endures through all generations.
    R.I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.
    or:
    R.Alleluia.

    SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Rev 21:1-5a

    Then I, John, saw a new heaven and a new earth.
    The former heaven and the former earth had passed away,
    and the sea was no more.
    I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem,
    coming down out of heaven from God,
    prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
    I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
    "Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human race.
    He will dwell with them and they will be his people
    and God himself will always be with them as their God.
    He will wipe every tear from their eyes,
    and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain,
    for the old order has passed away."
    The One who sat on the throne said,
    "Behold, I make all things new."

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Jn 13:31-33a, 34-35

    When Judas had left them, Jesus said,
    "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
    If God is glorified in him,
    God will also glorify him in himself,
    and God will glorify him at once.
    My children, I will be with you only a little while longer.
    I give you a new commandment: love one another.
    As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.
    This is how all will know that you are my disciples,
    if you have love for one another."
