  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 5:27-33

  When the court officers had brought the Apostles in
  and made them stand before the Sanhedrin,
  the high priest questioned them,
  "We gave you strict orders did we not,
  to stop teaching in that name.
  Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching
  and want to bring this man's blood upon us."
  But Peter and the Apostles said in reply,
  "We must obey God rather than men.
  The God of our ancestors raised Jesus,
  though you had him killed by hanging him on a tree.
  God exalted him at his right hand as leader and savior
  to grant Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
  We are witnesses of these things,
  as is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him."
  
  When they heard this,
  they became infuriated and wanted to put them to death.

  R. Alleluia.
  The LORD confronts the evildoers,
  to destroy remembrance of them from the earth.
  When the just cry out, the LORD hears them,

  R. The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
  or:
  R. Alleluia.
  The LORD is close to the brokenhearted;
  and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.
  Many are the troubles of the just man,
  but out of them all the LORD delivers him.
  R. The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
  or:
  R. Alleluia.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 3:31-36

  The one who comes from above is above all.
  The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things.
  But the one who comes from heaven is above all.
  He testifies to what he has seen and heard,
  but no one accepts his testimony.
  Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy.
  For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God.
  He does not ration his gift of the Spirit.
  The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him.
  Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,
  but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life,
  but the wrath of God remains upon him.
