  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  1 John 1:5--2:2

  15This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him is no darkness at all. 6If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth; 7but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.21My little children, I am writing this to you so that you may not sin; but if any one does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; 2and he is the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 103:1-4, 8-9, 13-14, 17-18

  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, 3who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, 4who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, 8The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. 9He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger for ever. 13As a father pities his children, so the LORD pities those who fear him. 14For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. 17But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children, 18to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  John 12:44-50

  44And Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45And he who sees me sees him who sent me. 46I have come as light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47If any one hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings has a judge; the word that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day. 49For I have not spoken on my own authority; the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what to say and what to speak. 50And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has bidden me."

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Matthew 11:25-30

  25At that time Jesus declared, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; 26yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will. 27All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

  Easter Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 15:7-21

  After much debate had taken place,
  Peter got up and said to the Apostles and the presbyters,
  “My brothers, you are well aware that from early days
  God made his choice among you that through my mouth
  the Gentiles would hear the word of the Gospel and believe.
  And God, who knows the heart,
  bore witness by granting them the Holy Spirit
  just as he did us.
  He made no distinction between us and them,
  for by faith he purified their hearts.
  Why, then, are you now putting God to the test
  by placing on the shoulders of the disciples
  a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear?
  On the contrary, we believe that we are saved
  through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they.”
  The whole assembly fell silent,
  and they listened
  while Paul and Barnabas described the signs and wonders
  God had worked among the Gentiles through them.
  
  After they had fallen silent, James responded,
  “My brothers, listen to me.
  Symeon has described how God first concerned himself
  with acquiring from among the Gentiles a people for his name.
  The words of the prophets agree with this, as is written:
  
  After this I shall return
  and rebuild the fallen hut of David;
  from its ruins I shall rebuild it
  and raise it up again,
  so that the rest of humanity may seek out the Lord,
  even all the Gentiles on whom my name is invoked.
  Thus says the Lord who accomplishes these things,
  known from of old.
  
  It is my judgment, therefore,
  that we ought to stop troubling the Gentiles who turn to God,
  but tell them by letter to avoid pollution from idols,
  unlawful marriage, the meat of strangled animals, and blood.
  For Moses, for generations now,
  has had those who proclaim him in every town,
  as he has been read in the synagogues every sabbath.”

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 15:9-11

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  “As the Father loves me, so I also love you.
  Remain in my love.
  If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,
  just as I have kept my Father’s commandments
  and remain in his love.
  
  “I have told you this so that
  my joy might be in you and
  your joy might be complete.”
