  • Saint Margaret of Cortona, III Order 2020:

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Acts 18:23-28

    23After spending some time there he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phryg'ia, strengthening all the disciples. 24Now a Jew named Apol'los, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the scriptures. 25He had been instructed in the way of the Lord;and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John. 26He began to speak boldly in the synagogue;but when Priscilla and Aq'uila heard him, they took him and expounded to him the way of God more accurately. 27And when he wished to cross to Acha'ia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, 28for he powerfully confuted the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 47:2-3, 8-10

    1Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy! 2For the LORD, the Most High, is terrible, a great king over all the earth. 7For God is the king of all the earth;sing praises with a psalm! 8God reigns over the nations;God sits on his holy throne. 9The princes of the peoples gather as the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God;he is highly exalted!

    SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

    John 16:23-28

    23In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name. 24Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name;ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. 25"I have said this to you in figures;the hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in figures but tell you plainly of the Father. 26In that day you will ask in my name;and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;27for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from the Father. 28I came from the Father and have come into the world;again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father."

    Easter Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Acts 16:1-10

    1And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer;but his father was a Greek. 2He was well spoken of by the brethren at Lystra and Ico'nium. 3Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him;and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 4As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem. 5So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily. 6And they went through the region of Phry'gia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. 7And when they had come opposite My'sia, they attempted to go into Bithyn'ia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;8so, passing by My'sia, they went down to Tro'as. 9And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedo'nia was standing beseeching him and saying, "Come over to Macedo'nia and help us." 10And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedo'nia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 100:1-3, 5

    1Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the lands! 2Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! 3Know that the LORD is God! It is he that made us, and we are his;we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 5For the LORD is good;his steadfast love endures for ever, and his faithfulness to all generations.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    John 15:18-21

    18"If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19If you were of the world, the world would love its own;but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20Remember the word that I said to you, `A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you;if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. 21But all this they will do to you on my account, because they do not know him who sent me.
