  • Saints Philip and James, Apostles 2026:

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    1 Cor 15:1-8

    I am reminding you, brothers and sisters,
    of the Gospel I preached to you,
    which you indeed received and in which you also stand.
    Through it you are also being saved,
    if you hold fast to the word I preached to you,
    unless you believed in vain.
    For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received:
    that Christ died for our sins
    in accordance with the Scriptures;
    that he was buried;
    that he was raised on the third day
    in accordance with the Scriptures;
    that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.
    After that, he appeared to more
    than five hundred brothers and sisters at once,
    most of whom are still living,
    though some have fallen asleep.
    After that he appeared to James,
    then to all the Apostles.
    Last of all, as to one born abnormally,
    he appeared to me.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    PS 19:2-3, 4-5

    R. (5) Their message goes out through all the earth.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    The heavens declare the glory of God;
    and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
    Day pours out the word to day;
    and night to night imparts knowledge.
    R. Their message goes out through all the earth.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Not a word nor a discourse
    whose voice is not heard;
    Through all the earth their voice resounds,
    and to the ends of the world, their message.
    R. Their message goes out through all the earth.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Jn 14:6-14

    Jesus said to Thomas, “I am the way and the truth and the life.
    No one comes to the Father except through me.
    If you know me, then you will also know my Father.
    From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
    Philip said to him,
    “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
    Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time
    and you still do not know me, Philip?
    Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.
    How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
    Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
    The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own.
    The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.
    Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me,
    or else, believe because of the works themselves.
    Amen, amen, I say to you,
    whoever believes in me will do the works that I do,
    and will do greater ones than these,
    because I am going to the Father.
    And whatever you ask in my name, I will do,
    so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
    If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.”

  • FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER 2026:

    Easter Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    acts 6:1-7

    As the number of disciples continued to grow,
    the Hellenists complained against the Hebrews
    because their widows
    were being neglected in the daily distribution.
    So the Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said,
    "It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table.
    Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men,
    filled with the Spirit and wisdom,
    whom we shall appoint to this task,
    whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer
    and to the ministry of the word."
    The proposal was acceptable to the whole community,
    so they chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and the Holy Spirit,
    also Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas,
    and Nicholas of Antioch, a convert to Judaism.
    They presented these men to the apostles
    who prayed and laid hands on them.
    The word of God continued to spread,
    and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly;
    even a large group of priests were becoming obedient to the faith.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    ps 33:1-2, 4-5, 18-19

    R/ (22)
    Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
    or:
    R/
    Alleluia.
    Exult, you just, in the LORD;
    praise from the upright is fitting.
    Give thanks to the LORD on the harp;
    with the ten-stringed lyre chant his praises.
    R/
    Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
    or:
    R/
    Alleluia.
    Upright is the word of the LORD,
    and all his works are trustworthy.
    He loves justice and right;
    of the kindness of the LORD the earth is full.
    R/
    Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
    or:
    R/
    Alleluia.
    See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him,
    upon those who hope for his kindness,
    To deliver them from death
    and preserve them in spite of famine.
    R/
    Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.
    or:
    R/
    Alleluia.

    SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

    1 pt 2:4-9

    Beloved:
    Come to him, a living stone, rejected by human beings
    but chosen and precious in the sight of God,
    and, like living stones,
    let yourselves be built into a spiritual house
    to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices
    acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
    For it says in Scripture:
    Behold, I am laying a stone in Zion, a cornerstone, chosen and precious, and whoever believes in it shall not be put to shame
    .
    Therefore, its value is for you who have faith, but for those without faith:
    The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone
    , and
    A stone that will make people stumble, and a rock that will make them fall
    .
    They stumble by disobeying the word, as is their destiny.
    You are "a chosen race, a royal priesthood,
    a holy nation, a people of his own,
    so that you may announce the praises" of him
    who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    jn 14:1-12

    Jesus said to his disciples:
    "Do not let your hearts be troubled.
    You have faith in God; have faith also in me.
    In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.
    If there were not,
    would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
    And if I go and prepare a place for you,
    I will come back again and take you to myself,
    so that where I am you also may be.
    Where I am going you know the way."
    Thomas said to him,
    "Master, we do not know where you are going;
    how can we know the way?"
    Jesus said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life.
    No one comes to the Father except through me.
    If you know me, then you will also know my Father.
    From now on you do know him and have seen him."
    Philip said to him,
    "Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."
    Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you for so long a time
    and you still do not know me, Philip?
    Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.
    How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
    Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
    The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own.
    The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.
    Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me,
    or else, believe because of the works themselves.
    Amen, amen, I say to you,
    whoever believes in me will do the works that I do,
    and will do greater ones than these,
    because I am going to the Father."
