    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Acts 26:19-23

    19"Wherefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, 20but declared first to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God and perform deeds worthy of their repentance. 21For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me. 22To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass: 23that the Christ must suffer, and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles."

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 117:1-2

    1Praise the LORD, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! 2For great is his steadfast love toward us;and the faithfulness of the LORD endures for ever. Praise the LORD!

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    John 10:11-16

    11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees;and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep. 14I am the good shepherd;I know my own and my own know me, 15as the Father knows me and I know the Father;and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold;I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd.

    Easter Time.

    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.”
