  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 25:13-21

  13Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the king and Berni'ce arrived at Caesare'a to welcome Festus. 14And as they stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, "There is a man left prisoner by Felix; 15and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews gave information about him, asking for sentence against him. 16I answered them that it was not the custom of the Romans to give up any one before the accused met the accusers face to face, and had opportunity to make his defense concerning the charge laid against him. 17When therefore they came together here, I made no delay, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought in. 18When the accusers stood up, they brought no charge in his case of such evils as I supposed; 19but they had certain points of dispute with him about their own superstition and about one Jesus, who was dead, but whom Paul asserted to be alive. 20Being at a loss how to investigate these questions, I asked whether he wished to go to Jerusalem and be tried there regarding them. 21But when Paul had appealed to be kept in custody for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be held until I could send him to Caesar."

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 103:1-2, 11-12, 19-20

  1Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name! 2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, 11For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; 12as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. 19The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. 20Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word!

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  John 21:15-19

  15When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." 16A second time he said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." 17He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. 18Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go." 19(This he said to show by what death he was to glorify God.) And after this he said to him, "Follow me."

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Sir 17:1-15

  God from the earth created man,
  and in his own image he made him.
  He makes man return to earth again,
  and endows him with a strength of his own.
  Limited days of life he gives him,
  with power over all things else on earth.
  He puts the fear of him in all flesh,
  and gives him rule over beasts and birds.
  He created for them counsel, and a tongue and eyes and ears,
  and an inventive heart,
  and filled them with the discipline of understanding.
  He created in them knowledge of the spirit;
  With wisdom he fills their heart;
  good and evil he shows them.
  He put the fear of himself upon their hearts,
  and showed them his mighty works,
  That they might glory in the wonder of his deeds
  and praise his holy name.
  He has set before them knowledge,
  a law of life as their inheritance;
  An everlasting covenant he has made with them,
  his justice and his judgments he has revealed to them.
  His majestic glory their eyes beheld,
  his glorious voice their ears heard.
  He says to them, “Avoid all evil”;
  each of them he gives precepts about his fellow men.
  Their ways are ever known to him,
  they cannot be hidden from his eyes.
  Over every nation he places a ruler,
  but God’s own portion is Israel.
  All their actions are clear as the sun to him,
  his eyes are ever upon their ways.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  PS 103:13-14, 15-16, 17-18

  R. (see 17) The Lord’s kindness is everlasting to those who fear him.
  As a father has compassion on his children,
  so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him,
  For he knows how we are formed;
  he remembers that we are dust.
  R. The Lord’s kindness is everlasting to those who fear him.
  Man’s days are like those of grass;
  like a flower of the field he blooms;
  The wind sweeps over him and he is gone,
  and his place knows him no more.
  R. The Lord’s kindness is everlasting to those who fear him.
  But the kindness of the LORD is from eternity
  to eternity toward those who fear him,
  And his justice toward children’s children
  among those who keep his covenant.
  R. The Lord’s kindness is everlasting to those who fear him.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  mk 10:13-16

  People were bringing children to Jesus that he might touch them,
  but the disciples rebuked them.
  When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them,
  “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them,
  for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
  Amen, I say to you,
  whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God like a child
  will not enter it.”
  Then he embraced the children and blessed them,
  placing his hands on them.
