  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 4:8-12

  8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders, 9if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a cripple, by what means this man has been healed, 10be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man is standing before you well. 11This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, but which has become the head of the corner. 12And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 40:2, 4, 7-11

  1I waited patiently for the LORD;he inclined to me and heard my cry. 3He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD. 6Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire;but thou hast given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering thou hast not required. 7Then I said, "Lo, I come;in the roll of the book it is written of me;8I delight to do thy will, O my God;thy law is within my heart." 9I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation;lo, I have not restrained my lips, as thou knowest, O LORD. 10I have not hid thy saving help within my heart, I have spoken of thy faithfulness and thy salvation;I have not concealed thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness from the great congregation.

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  John 17:11-19

  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. 12While I was with them, I kept them in thy name, which thou hast given me;I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13But now I am coming to thee;and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14I have given them thy word;and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15I do not pray that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them in the truth;thy word is truth. 18As thou didst send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Luke 9:57-62

  57As they were going along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." 58And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests;but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head." 59To another he said, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father." 60But he said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead;but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God." 61Another said, "I will follow you, Lord;but let me first say farewell to those at my home." 62Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."

  Easter Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 14:5-18

  There was an attempt in Iconium
  by both the Gentiles and the Jews,
  together with their leaders,
  to attack and stone Paul and Barnabas.
  They realized it,
  and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe
  and to the surrounding countryside,
  where they continued to proclaim the Good News.
  
  At Lystra there was a crippled man, lame from birth,
  who had never walked.
  He listened to Paul speaking, who looked intently at him,
  saw that he had the faith to be healed,
  and called out in a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet.”
  He jumped up and began to walk about.
  When the crowds saw what Paul had done,
  they cried out in Lycaonian,
  “The gods have come down to us in human form.”
  They called Barnabas “Zeus” and Paul “Hermes,”
  because he was the chief speaker.
  And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city,
  brought oxen and garlands to the gates,
  for he together with the people intended to offer sacrifice.
  
  The Apostles Barnabas and Paul tore their garments
  when they heard this and rushed out into the crowd, shouting,
  “Men, why are you doing this?
  We are of the same nature as you, human beings.
  We proclaim to you good news
  that you should turn from these idols to the living God,
  who made heaven and earth and sea and all that is in them.
  In past generations he allowed all Gentiles to go their own ways;
  yet, in bestowing his goodness,
  he did not leave himself without witness,
  for he gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons,
  and filled you with nourishment and gladness for your hearts.”
  Even with these words, they scarcely restrained the crowds
  from offering sacrifice to them.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  PS 115:1-2, 3-4, 15-16

  R. (1ab) Not to us, O Lord, but to your name give the glory.
  or:
  R. Alleluia.
  Not to us, O LORD, not to us
  but to your name give glory
  because of your mercy, because of your truth.
  Why should the pagans say,
  “Where is their God?”
  R. Not to us, O Lord, but to your name give the glory.
  or:
  R. Alleluia.
  Our God is in heaven;
  whatever he wills, he does.
  Their idols are silver and gold,
  the handiwork of men.
  R. Not to us, O Lord, but to your name give the glory.
  or:
  R. Alleluia.
  May you be blessed by the LORD,
  who made heaven and earth.
  Heaven is the heaven of the LORD,
  but the earth he has given to the children of men.
  R. Not to us, O Lord, but to your name give the glory.
  or:
  R. Alleluia.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 14:21-26

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  “Whoever has my commandments and observes them
  is the one who loves me.
  Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father,
  and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”
  Judas, not the Iscariot, said to him,
  “Master, then what happened that you will reveal yourself to us
  and not to the world?”
  Jesus answered and said to him,
  “Whoever loves me will keep my word,
  and my Father will love him,
  and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.
  Whoever does not love me does not keep my words;
  yet the word you hear is not mine
  but that of the Father who sent me.
  
  “I have told you this while I am with you.
  The Advocate, the Holy Spirit
  whom the Father will send in my name–
  he will teach you everything
  and remind you of all that I told you.”
