  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 11:19-26

  19Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoeni'cia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none except Jews. 20But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyre'ne, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number that believed turned to the Lord. 22News of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. 23When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad;and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose;24for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a large company was added to the Lord. 25So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul;26and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church, and taught a large company of people;and in Antioch the disciples were for the first time called Christians.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 87:1-7

  1On the holy mount stands the city he founded;2the LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. 3Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. [Selah] 4Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia -- "This one was born there," they say. 5And of Zion it shall be said, "This one and that one were born in her";for the Most High himself will establish her. 6The LORD records as he registers the peoples, "This one was born there." [Selah] 7Singers and dancers alike say, "All my springs are in you."

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  John 10:22-30

  22It was the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem;23it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. 24So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." 25Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me;26but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. 27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;28and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. 29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30I and the Father are one."

  Easter Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 12:24?13:5a

  The word of God continued to spread and grow.
  
  After Barnabas and Saul completed their relief mission,
  they returned to Jerusalem,
  taking with them John, who is called Mark.
  
  Now there were in the Church at Antioch prophets and teachers:
  Barnabas, Symeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene,
  Manaen who was a close friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
  While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,
  "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul
  for the work to which I have called them."
  Then, completing their fasting and prayer,
  they laid hands on them and sent them off.
  
  So they, sent forth by the Holy Spirit,
  went down to Seleucia
  and from there sailed to Cyprus.
  When they arrived in Salamis,
  they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues.

  or:

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 12:44-50

  Jesus cried out and said,
  "Whoever believes in me believes not only in me
  but also in the one who sent me,
  and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me.
  I came into the world as light,
  so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness.
  And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them,
  I do not condemn him,
  for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world.
  Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words
  has something to judge him: the word that I spoke,
  it will condemn him on the last day,
  because I did not speak on my own,
  but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and speak.
  And I know that his commandment is eternal life.
  So what I say, I say as the Father told me."
