  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Colossians 3:14-15, 17, 23-24

  126Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness;and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth." 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him;male and female he created them. 28And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it;and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth." 29And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit;you shall have them for food. 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so. 31And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.21Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. 3So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 90:2-4, 12-14, 16

  2Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting thou art God. 3Thou turnest man back to the dust, and sayest, "Turn back, O children of men!" 4For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. 12So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. 13Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on thy servants! 14Satisfy us in the morning with thy steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 16Let thy work be manifest to thy servants, and thy glorious power to their children.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Matthew 13:54-58

  54and coming to his own country he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? 55Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?" 57And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house." 58And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.

  Easter Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 6:8-15

  Stephen, filled with grace and power,
  was working great wonders and signs among the people.
  Certain members of the so-called Synagogue of Freedmen,
  Cyreneans, and Alexandrians,
  and people from Cilicia and Asia,
  came forward and debated with Stephen,
  but they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
  Then they instigated some men to say,
  "We have heard him speaking blasphemous words
  against Moses and God."
  They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes,
  accosted him, seized him,
  and brought him before the Sanhedrin.
  They presented false witnesses who testified,
  "This man never stops saying things against this holy place and the law.
  For we have heard him claim
  that this Jesus the Nazorean will destroy this place
  and change the customs that Moses handed down to us."
  All those who sat in the Sanhedrin looked intently at him
  and saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 119:23-24, 26-27, 29-30

  R. (1ab) Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord!

  Though princes meet and talk against me,
  your servant meditates on your statutes.
  Yes, your decrees are my delight;
  they are my counselors.
  R. Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord!
  or:
  R. Alleluia.
  I declared my ways, and you answered me;
  teach me your statutes.
  Make me understand the way of your precepts,
  and I will meditate on your wondrous deeds.
  R. Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord!
  or:
  R. Alleluia.
  Remove from me the way of falsehood,
  and favor me with your law.
  The way of truth I have chosen;
  I have set your ordinances before me.
  R. Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord!
  or:
  R. Alleluia.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 6:22-29

  [After Jesus had fed the five thousand men, his disciples saw him walking on the sea.]
  The next day, the crowd that remained across the sea
  saw that there had been only one boat there,
  and that Jesus had not gone along with his disciples in the boat,
  but only his disciples had left.
  Other boats came from Tiberias
  near the place where they had eaten the bread
  when the Lord gave thanks.
  When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there,
  they themselves got into boats
  and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.
  And when they found him across the sea they said to him,
  "Rabbi, when did you get here?"
  Jesus answered them and said,
  "Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me
  not because you saw signs
  but because you ate the loaves and were filled.
  Do not work for food that perishes
  but for the food that endures for eternal life,
  which the Son of Man will give you.
  For on him the Father, God, has set his seal."
  So they said to him,
  "What can we do to accomplish the works of God?"
  Jesus answered and said to them,
  "This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent."
