  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 16:22-34

  22The crowd joined in attacking them;and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods. 23And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely. 24Having received this charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. 25But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, 26and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken;and immediately all the doors were opened and every one's fetters were unfastened. 27When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 28But Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here." 29And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas, 30and brought them out and said, "Men, what must I do to be saved?" 31And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." 32And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house. 33And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds, and he was baptized at once, with all his family. 34Then he brought them up into his house, and set food before them;and he rejoiced with all his household that he had believed in God.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 138:1-3, 7-8

  1I give thee thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart;before the gods I sing thy praise;2I bow down toward thy holy temple and give thanks to thy name for thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness;for thou hast exalted above everything thy name and thy word. 3On the day I called, thou didst answer me, my strength of soul thou didst increase. 7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou dost preserve my life;thou dost stretch out thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand delivers me. 8The LORD will fulfil his purpose for me;thy steadfast love, O LORD, endures for ever. Do not forsake the work of thy hands.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  John 16:5-11

  5But now I am going to him who sent me;yet none of you asks me, `Where are you going?' 6But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. 7Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you;but if I go, I will send him to you. 8And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;10concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more;11concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

  Easter Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 18:23-28

  After staying in Antioch some time,
  Paul left and traveled in orderly sequence
  through the Galatian country and Phrygia,
  bringing strength to all the disciples.
  
  A Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria,
  an eloquent speaker, arrived in Ephesus.
  He was an authority on the Scriptures.
  He had been instructed in the Way of the Lord and,
  with ardent spirit, spoke and taught accurately about Jesus,
  although he knew only the baptism of John.
  He began to speak boldly in the synagogue;
  but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him,
  they took him aside
  and explained to him the Way of God more accurately.
  And when he wanted to cross to Achaia,
  the brothers encouraged him
  and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him.
  After his arrival he gave great assistance
  to those who had come to believe through grace.
  He vigorously refuted the Jews in public,
  establishing from the Scriptures that the Christ is Jesus.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 16:23b-28

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  “Amen, amen, I say to you,
  whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
  Until now you have not asked anything in my name;
  ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
  
  “I have told you this in figures of speech.
  The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures
  but I will tell you clearly about the Father.
  On that day you will ask in my name,
  and I do not tell you that I will ask the Father for you.
  For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me
  and have come to believe that I came from God.
  I came from the Father and have come into the world.
  Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”
