First ReadingActs 7:51—8:1a

From the Acts of the Apostles

51“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears,you always resist the Holy Spirit!As your fathers did, so you do.52Which of the prophets didn’t your fathers persecute?They killed thosewho foretold the coming of the Righteous One,of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.53You received the law as it was ordained by angels,and didn’t keep it!”

54Now when they heard these things,they were cut to the heart,and they gnashed at him with their teeth.55But he, being full of the Holy Spirit,looked up steadfastly into heavenand saw the glory of God,and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,56and said, “Behold,I see the heavens openedand the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

57But they cried out with a loud voiceand stopped their ears,then rushed at him with one accord.58They threw him out of the city and stoned him.The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.59They stoned Stephen as he called out,saying, “Lord Jesus,receive my spirit!”60He kneeled down and cried with a loud voice,“Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!”When he had said this, he fell asleep.

1Saul was consenting to his death.A great persecution arose against the assemblywhich was in Jerusalem in that day.They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria,except for the apostles.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 31:3cd-4, 6 and 7b and 8a, 17 and 21ab

3Bow down your ear to me.Deliver me speedily.Be to me a strong rock,a house of defense to save me.4For you are my rock and my fortress,therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.

6Into your hand I commend my spirit.You redeem me, Lord, God of truth.7I hate those who regard lying vanities,but I trust in the Lord.8I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness,for you have seen my affliction.You have known my soul in adversities.

17Make your face to shine on your servant.Save me in your loving kindness.21In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man.You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

GospelJohn 6:30-35

From the Gospel according to John

30They said therefore to him,“What then do you do for a sign,that we may see and believe you?What work do you do?31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness.As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”

32Jesus therefore said to them,“Most certainly, I tell you,it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven,but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.33For the bread of God is thatwhich comes down out of heavenand gives life to the world.”

34They said therefore to him,“Lord, always give us this bread.”

35Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life.Whoever comes to me will not be hungry,and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Timótheum

1 Tim 5:3-10

Caríssime: Víduas honóra, quæ vere víduæ sunt. Si qua autem vídua fílios aut nepótes habet, discat primum domum suam régere, et mútuam vicem réddere paréntibus: hoc enim accéptum est coram Deo. Quæ autem vere vídua est et desoláta, speret in Deum, et instet obsecratiónibus et oratiónibus nocte ac die. Nam quæ in delíciis est, vivens mórtua est. Et hoc prǽcipe, ut irreprehensíbiles sint. Si quis autem suórum, et máxime domesticórum curam non habet, fidem negávit, et est infidéli detérior. Vídua eligátur non minus sexagínta annórum, quæ fúerit uníus viri uxor, in opéribus bonis testimónium habens, si fílios educávit, si hospítio recépit, si sanctórum pedes lavit, si tribulatiónem patiéntibus subministrávit, si omne opus bonum subsecúta est.

Lesson from the first letter of St Paul the Apostle to Timothy

1 Tim. 5:3-10.

Dearly beloved: Honor widows, that are widows indeed. But if any widow have children or grandchildren, let her learn first to govern her own house, and to make a return of duty to her parents: for this is acceptable before God. But she that is a widow indeed and desolate, let her trust in God, and continue in prayers and supplications night and day. For she that liveth in pleasures, is dead while she is living. And this give in charge, that they may be blameless. But if any man have not care of his own, and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. Let a widow be chosen of no less than threescore years of age, who hath been the wife of one husband, having testimony for her good words, if she have brought up children, if she have received to harbor, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have ministered to them that suffer tribulation, if she have diligently followed every good work.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 7:11-16

In illo témpore: Ibat Jesus in civitátem, quæ vocátur Naim: et ibant cum eo discípuli ejus et turba copiósa. Cum autem appropinquáret portæ civitátis, ecce, defúnctus efferebátur fílius únicus matris suæ: et hæc vídua erat, et turba civitátis multa cum illa. Quam cum vidísset Dóminus, misericórdia motus super eam, dixit illi: Noli flere. Et accéssit et tétigit lóculum. - Hi autem, qui portábant, stetérunt - Et ait: Adoléscens, tibi dico, surge. Et resédit, qui erat mórtuus, et cœpit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suæ. Accépit autem omnes timor: et magnificábant Deum, dicéntes: Quia Prophéta magnus surréxit in nobis: et quia Deus visitávit plebem suam.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 7:11-16

At that time, Jesus went into a city called Naim; and His disciples and a large crowd went with Him. And as He drew near the gate of the town, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large gathering from the town was with her. And the Lord, seeing her, had compassion on her, and said to her, Do not weep. And He went up and touched the stretcher; and the bearers stood still. And He said, Young man, I say to you, arise. And he who was dead, sat up, and began to speak. And He gave him to his mother. But fear seized upon all, and they began to glorify God, saying, A great prophet has risen among us, and God has visited His people.

PrefacePrefatio

Paschalis

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre: Te quidem, Dómine, omni témpore, sed in hoc potíssimum gloriósius prædicáre, cum Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus. Ipse enim verus est Agnus, qui ábstulit peccáta mundi. Qui mortem nostram moriéndo destrúxit et vitam resurgéndo reparávit. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:

Easter

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, at all times to praise Thee, O Lord, but more gloriously especially in this season when Christ our Pasch was sacrificed. For He is the Lamb Who hath taken away the sins of the world: Who by dying hath destroyed our death: and by rising again hath restored us to life. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
