  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 11:21b-26;13:1-3

  In those days a great number who believed turned to the Lord.
  The news about them reached the ears of the Church in Jerusalem,
  and they sent Barnabas to go to Antioch.
  When he arrived and saw the grace of God,
  he rejoiced and encouraged them all
  to remain faithful to the Lord in firmness of heart,
  for he was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and faith.
  And a large number of people was added to the Lord.
  Then he went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
  and when he had found him he brought him to Antioch.
  For a whole year they met with the Church
  and taught a large number of people,
  and it was in Antioch that the disciples
  were first called Christians.
  
  Now there were in the Church at Antioch prophets and teachers:
  Barnabas, Symeon who was called Niger,
  Lucius of Cyrene,
  Manaen who was a close friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
  While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,
  "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul
  for the work to which I have called them."
  Then, completing their fasting and prayer,
  they laid hands on them and sent them off.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Mt 5:1-12

  When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain,
  and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
  He began to teach them, saying:
  
  "Blessed are the poor in spirit,
  for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
  Blessed are they who mourn,
  for they will be comforted.
  Blessed are the meek,
  for they will inherit the land.
  Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
  for they will be satisfied.
  Blessed are the merciful,
  for they will be shown mercy.
  Blessed are the clean of heart,
  for they will see God.
  Blessed are the peacemakers,
  for they will be called children of God.
  Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
  for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
  Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you
  and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.
  Rejoice and be glad,
  for your reward will be great in heaven.
  Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
  

• THE MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS 2021:

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Hos 11:1, 3-4, 8c-9

  Thus says the LORD:
  When Israel was a child I loved him,
  out of Egypt I called my son.
  Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
  who took them in my arms;
  I drew them with human cords,
  with bands of love;
  I fostered them like one
  who raises an infant to his cheeks;
  Yet, though I stooped to feed my child,
  they did not know that I was their healer.
  My heart is overwhelmed,
  my pity is stirred.
  I will not give vent to my blazing anger,
  I will not destroy Ephraim again;
  For I am God and not a man,
  the Holy One present among you;
  I will not let the flames consume you.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Is 12:2-3, 4, 5-6.

  R. (3)
  You will draw water joyfully from the springs of salvation.
  God indeed is my savior;
  I am confident and unafraid.
  My strength and my courage is the LORD,
  and he has been my savior.
  With joy you will draw water
  at the fountain of salvation.
  R.You will draw water joyfully from the springs of salvation.
  Give thanks to the LORD, acclaim his name;
  among the nations make known his deeds,
  proclaim how exalted is his name.
  R.You will draw water joyfully from the springs of salvation.
  Sing praise to the LORD for his glorious achievement;
  let this be known throughout all the earth.
  Shout with exultation, O city of Zion,
  for great in your midst
  is the Holy One of Israel!
  R.You will draw water joyfully from the springs of salvation.
  

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Eph 3:8-12, 14-19

  Brothers and sisters:
  To me, the very least of all the holy ones, this grace was given,
  to preach to the Gentiles the inscrutable riches of Christ,
  and to bring to light for all what is the plan of the mystery
  hidden from ages past in God who created all things,
  so that the manifold wisdom of God
  might now be made known through the church
  to the principalities and authorities in the heavens.
  This was according to the eternal purpose
  that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,
  in whom we have boldness of speech
  and confidence of access through faith in him.
  For this reason I kneel before the Father,
  from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
  that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory
  to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self,
  and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;
  that you, rooted and grounded in love,
  may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones
  what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
  and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge,
  so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 19:31-37

  Since it was preparation day,
  in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath,
  for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one,
  the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken
  and they be taken down.
  So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first
  and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus.
  But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead,
  they did not break his legs,
  but one soldier thrust his lance into his side,
  and immediately blood and water flowed out.
  An eyewitness has testified, and his testimony is true;
  he knows that he is speaking the truth,
  so that you also may come to believe.
  For this happened so that the Scripture passage might be fulfilled:
  Not a bone of it will be broken.
  And again another passage says:
  They will look upon him whom they have pierced.
