  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Philippians 4:4-9

  4Rejoice in the Lord always;again I will say, Rejoice. 5Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. 6Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do;and the God of peace will be with you.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 34:2-11

  1I will bless the LORD at all times;his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2My soul makes its boast in the LORD;let the afflicted hear and be glad. 3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together! 4I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5Look to him, and be radiant;so your faces shall never be ashamed. 6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. 8O taste and see that the LORD is good! Happy is the man who takes refuge in him! 9O fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no want! 10The young lions suffer want and hunger;but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  John 17:20-26

  20"I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, 21that they may all be one;even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me. 24Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the world. 25O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee;and these know that thou hast sent me. 26I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them."

  Easter Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 18:9-18

  One night while Paul was in Corinth, the Lord said to him in a vision,
  “Do not be afraid.
  Go on speaking, and do not be silent, for I am with you.
  No one will attack and harm you,
  for I have many people in this city.”
  He settled there for a year and a half
  and taught the word of God among them.
  
  But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia,
  the Jews rose up together against Paul
  and brought him to the tribunal, saying,
  “This man is inducing people to worship God contrary to the law.”
  When Paul was about to reply, Gallio spoke to the Jews,
  “If it were a matter of some crime or malicious fraud,
  I should with reason hear the complaint of you Jews;
  but since it is a question of arguments over doctrine and titles
  and your own law, see to it yourselves.
  I do not wish to be a judge of such matters.”
  And he drove them away from the tribunal.
  They all seized Sosthenes, the synagogue official,
  and beat him in full view of the tribunal.
  But none of this was of concern to Gallio.
  
  Paul remained for quite some time,
  and after saying farewell to the brothers he sailed for Syria,
  together with Priscilla and Aquila.
  At Cenchreae he had shaved his head because he had taken a vow.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 16:20-23

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  “Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn,
  while the world rejoices;
  you will grieve, but your grief will become joy.
  When a woman is in labor, she is in anguish because her hour has arrived;
  but when she has given birth to a child,
  she no longer remembers the pain because of her joy
  that a child has been born into the world.
  So you also are now in anguish.
  But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice,
  and no one will take your joy away from you.
  On that day you will not question me about anything.
  Amen, amen, I say to you,
  whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.”
