First ReadingActs 12:24—13:5a

From the Acts of the Apostles

24But the word of God grew and multiplied.25Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalemwhen they had fulfilled their service,also taking with them John who was called Mark.

1Now in the assemblythat was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers:Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger,Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.2As they served the Lord and fasted,the Holy Spirit said,“Separate Barnabas and Saul for me,for the work to which I have called them.”

3Then, when they had fasted and prayedand laid their hands on them,they sent them away.4So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit,they went down to Seleucia.From there they sailed to Cyprus.5When they were at Salamis,they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues.They also had John as their attendant.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 67:2-3, 5, 6 and 8

2May God be merciful to us, bless us,and cause his face to shine on us.3That your way may be known on earth,and your salvation among all nations,

5Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy,for you will judge the peoples with equity,and govern the nations on earth.

6Let the peoples praise you, God.Let all the peoples praise you.8God will bless us.All the ends of the earth shall fear him.

GospelJohn 12:44-50

From the Gospel according to John

44Jesus cried out and said,“Whoever believes in me,believes not in me,but in him who sent me.45He who sees me sees him who sent me.46I have come as a light into the world,that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.47If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe,I don’t judge him.For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.48He who rejects me,and doesn’t receive my sayings,has one who judges him.The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.49For I spoke not from myself,but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment,what I should say and what I should speak.50I know that his commandment is eternal life.The things therefore which I speak,even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Sap 7:7-14

Optávi, et datus est mihi sensus: et invocávi, et venit in me spíritus sapiéntiæ: et præpósui illam regnis et sédibus, et divítias nihil esse duxi in comparatióne illíus: nec comparávi illi lápidem pretiósum: quóniam omne aurum in comparatióne illíus arena est exígua, et tamquam lutum æstimábitur argéntum in conspéctu illíus. Super salútem et spéciem diléxi illam, et propósui pro luce habére illam: quóniam inexstinguíbile est lumen illíus. Venérunt autem mihi ómnia bona páriter cum illa, et innumerábilis honéstas per manus illíus, et lætátus sum in ómnibus: quóniam antecedébat me ista sapiéntia, et ignorábam, quóniam horum ómnium mater est. Quam sine fictióne dídici et sine invídia commúnico, et honestátem illíus non abscóndo. Infinítus enim thesáurus est homínibus: quo qui usi sunt, partícipes facti sunt amicítiæ Dei, propter disciplínæ dona commendáti.

Lesson from the book of Wisdom

Wis 7:7-14.

I prayed, and prudence was given me; I pleaded, and the spirit of Wisdom came to me. I preferred her to scepter and throne, and deemed riches nothing in comparison with her. Nor did I liken any priceless gem to her; because all gold, in view of her, is a little sand, and before her, silver is to be accounted mire. Beyond health and comeliness I loved her, and I chose to have her rather than the light, because the splendor of her never yields to sleep. Yet all good things together came to me in her company, and countless riches at her hands; and I rejoiced in them all, because Wisdom is their leader, though I had not known that she is the mother of these. Simply I learned about her, and ungrudgingly do I share - her riches I do not hide away; for to men she is an unfailing treasure; those who gain this treasure win the friendship of God, to Whom the gifts they have from discipline commend them.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 5:13-19

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Vos estis sal terræ. Quod si sal evanúerit, in quo saliétur? Ad níhilum valet ultra, nisi ut mittátur foras, et conculcétur ab homínibus. Vos estis lux mundi. ¶ Non potest cívitas abscóndi supra montem pósita. Neque accéndunt lucérnam, et ponunt eam sub módio, sed super candelábrum, ut lúceat ómnibus, qui in domo sunt. Sic luceat lux vestra coram homínibus, ut vídeant ópera vestra bona, et gloríficent Patrem vestrum, qui in cœlis est. Nolíte putáre, quóniam veni sólvere legem aut prophétas: non veni sólvere, sed adimplére. Amen, quippe dico vobis, donec tránseat cœlum et terra, jota unum aut unus apex non præteríbit a lege, donec ómnia fiant. Qui ergo sólverit unum de mandátis istis mínimis, et docúerit sic hómines, mínimus vocábitur in regno cœlórum: qui autem fécerit et docúerit, hic magnus vocábitur in regno cœlórum.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 5:13-19

In that time Jesus said to His disciples: You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men. You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house. So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

But for me, to be near God is my good; to make the Lord God my refuge. I shall declare all Your works in the gates of the daughter of Sion. Alleluia.

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:
