  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 2:44-47

  44And all who believed were together and had all things in common;45and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, as any had need. 46And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts, 47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Colossians 3:12-17

  12Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience, 13forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other;as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Psalms 131:1-3

  1O LORD, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high;I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. 2But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a child quieted at its mother's breast;like a child that is quieted is my soul. 3O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Luke 12:22-31

  22And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall put on. 23For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! 25And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of life? 26If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? 27Consider the lilies, how they grow;they neither toil nor spin;yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28But if God so clothes the grass which is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith! 29And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind. 30For all the nations of the world seek these things;and your Father knows that you need them. 31Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well.

• MONDAY SIXTH WEEK OF EASTER 2020:

  Easter Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 16:11-15

  We set sail from Troas, making a straight run for Samothrace,
  and on the next day to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi,
  a leading city in that district of Macedonia and a Roman colony.
  We spent some time in that city.
  On the sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river
  where we thought there would be a place of prayer.
  We sat and spoke with the women who had gathered there.
  One of them, a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth,
  from the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, listened,
  and the Lord opened her heart to pay attention
  to what Paul was saying.
  After she and her household had been baptized,
  she offered us an invitation,
  “If you consider me a believer in the Lord,
  come and stay at my home,” and she prevailed on us.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 15:26—16:4a

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  “When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father,
  the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father,
  he will testify to me.
  And you also testify,
  because you have been with me from the beginning.
  
  “I have told you this so that you may not fall away.
  They will expel you from the synagogues;
  in fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you
  will think he is offering worship to God.
  They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me.
  I have told you this so that when their hour comes
  you may remember that I told you.”
