  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 17:15, 22--18:1

  1715Those who conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed. 22So Paul, standing in the middle of the Are-op'agus, said: "Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. 23For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, `To an unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man, 25nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all men life and breath and everything. 26And he made from one every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their habitation, 27that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after him and find him. Yet he is not far from each one of us, 28for `In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your poets have said, `For we are indeed his offspring.' 29Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the Deity is like gold, or silver, or stone, a representation by the art and imagination of man. 30The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent, 31because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and of this he has given assurance to all men by raising him from the dead." 32Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, "We will hear you again about this." 33So Paul went out from among them. 34But some men joined him and believed, among them Dionys'ius the Are-op'agite and a woman named Dam'aris and others with them.181After this he left Athens and went to Corinth.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 148:1-2, 11-14

  1Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens, praise him in the heights! 2Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his host! 11Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth! 12Young men and maidens together, old men and children! 13Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his glory is above earth and heaven. 14He has raised up a horn for his people, praise for all his saints, for the people of Israel who are near to him. Praise the LORD!

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  John 16:12-15

  12"I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

  Easter Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 11:19-26

  Those who had been scattered by the persecution
  that arose because of Stephen
  went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch,
  preaching the word to no one but Jews.
  There were some Cypriots and Cyrenians among them, however,
  who came to Antioch and began to speak to the Greeks as well,
  proclaiming the Lord Jesus.
  The hand of the Lord was with them
  and 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.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 10:22-30

  The feast of the Dedication was taking place in Jerusalem.
  It was winter.
  And Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon.
  So the Jews gathered around him and said to him,
  "How long are you going to keep us in suspense?
  If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."
  Jesus answered them, "I told you and you do not believe.
  The works I do in my Father's name testify to me.
  But you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep.
  My sheep hear my voice;
  I know them, and they follow me.
  I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
  No one can take them out of my hand.
  My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all,
  and no one can take them out of the Father's hand.
  The Father and I are one."
