  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.

• WEDNESDAY FIFTH WEEK OF EASTER 2022:

  Easter Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 15:1-6

  Some who had come down from Judea were instructing the brothers,
  “Unless you are circumcised according to the Mosaic practice,
  you cannot be saved.”
  Because there arose no little dissension and debate
  by Paul and Barnabas with them,
  it was decided that Paul, Barnabas, and some of the others
  should go up to Jerusalem to the Apostles and presbyters
  about this question.
  They were sent on their journey by the Church,
  and passed through Phoenicia and Samaria
  telling of the conversion of the Gentiles,
  and brought great joy to all the brethren.
  When they arrived in Jerusalem,
  they were welcomed by the Church,
  as well as by the Apostles and the presbyters,
  and they reported what God had done with them.
  But some from the party of the Pharisees who had become believers
  stood up and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them
  and direct them to observe the Mosaic law.”
  
  The Apostles and the presbyters met together to see about this matter.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  PS 122:1-2, 3-4ab, 4cd-5

  R. (see 1) Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
  or:

  I rejoiced because they said to me,
  “We will go up to the house of the LORD.”
  And now we have set foot
  within your gates, O Jerusalem.
  R. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
  or:
  R. Alleluia.
  Jerusalem, built as a city
  with compact unity.
  To it the tribes go up,
  the tribes of the LORD.
  R. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
  or:

  According to the decree for Israel,
  to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
  In it are set up judgment seats,

  R. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
  or:

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 15:1-8

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower.
  He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit,
  and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit.
  You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you.
  Remain in me, as I remain in you.
  Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own
  unless it remains on the vine,
  so neither can you unless you remain in me.
  I am the vine, you are the branches.
  Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit,
  because without me you can do nothing.
  Anyone who does not remain in me
  will be thrown out like a branch and wither;
  people will gather them and throw them into a fire
  and they will be burned.
  If you remain in me and my words remain in you,
  ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.
  By this is my Father glorified,
  that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.”
