  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 20:17-27

  17And from Mile'tus he sent to Ephesus and called to him the elders of the church. 18And when they came to him, he said to them: "You yourselves know how I lived among you all the time from the first day that I set foot in Asia, 19serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which befell me through the plots of the Jews;20how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, 21testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance to God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. 22And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, bound in the Spirit, not knowing what shall befall me there;23except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me. 24But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may accomplish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. 25And now, behold, I know that all you among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom will see my face no more. 26Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all of you, 27for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 68:10-11, 20-21

  9Rain in abundance, O God, thou didst shed abroad;thou didst restore thy heritage as it languished;10thy flock found a dwelling in it;in thy goodness, O God, thou didst provide for the needy. 19Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up;God is our salvation. [Selah] 20Our God is a God of salvation;and to GOD, the Lord, belongs escape from death.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  John 17:1-11

  1When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come;glorify thy Son that the Son may glorify thee, 2since thou hast given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. 3And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. 4I glorified thee on earth, having accomplished the work which thou gavest me to do;5and now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence with the glory which I had with thee before the world was made. 6"I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world;thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word. 7Now they know that everything that thou hast given me is from thee;8for I have given them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from thee;and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9I am praying for them;I am not praying for the world but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine;10all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.

  Easter Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 15:7-21

  After much debate had taken place,
  Peter got up and said to the Apostles and the presbyters,
  “My brothers, you are well aware that from early days
  God made his choice among you that through my mouth
  the Gentiles would hear the word of the Gospel and believe.
  And God, who knows the heart,
  bore witness by granting them the Holy Spirit
  just as he did us.
  He made no distinction between us and them,
  for by faith he purified their hearts.
  Why, then, are you now putting God to the test
  by placing on the shoulders of the disciples
  a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear?
  On the contrary, we believe that we are saved
  through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they.”
  The whole assembly fell silent,
  and they listened
  while Paul and Barnabas described the signs and wonders
  God had worked among the Gentiles through them.
  
  After they had fallen silent, James responded,
  “My brothers, listen to me.
  Symeon has described how God first concerned himself
  with acquiring from among the Gentiles a people for his name.
  The words of the prophets agree with this, as is written:
  
  After this I shall return
  and rebuild the fallen hut of David;
  from its ruins I shall rebuild it
  and raise it up again,
  so that the rest of humanity may seek out the Lord,
  even all the Gentiles on whom my name is invoked.
  Thus says the Lord who accomplishes these things,
  known from of old.
  
  It is my judgment, therefore,
  that we ought to stop troubling the Gentiles who turn to God,
  but tell them by letter to avoid pollution from idols,
  unlawful marriage, the meat of strangled animals, and blood.
  For Moses, for generations now,
  has had those who proclaim him in every town,
  as he has been read in the synagogues every sabbath.”

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 15:9-11

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  “As the Father loves me, so I also love you.
  Remain in my love.
  If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,
  just as I have kept my Father’s commandments
  and remain in his love.
  
  “I have told you this so that
  my joy might be in you and
  your joy might be complete.”
