First ReadingActs 18:9-18

From the Acts of the Apostles

9The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision,“Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;10for I am with you,and no one will attack you to harm you,for I have many people in this city.”

11He lived there a year and six months,teaching the word of God among them.12But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia,the Jews with one accord rose up against Pauland brought him before the judgment seat,13saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”

14But when Paul was about to open his mouth,Gallio said to the Jews,“If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime,you Jews, it would be reasonablethat I should bear with you;15but if they are questions about wordsand names and your own law,look to it yourselves.For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”16So he drove them from the judgment seat.

17Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes,the ruler of the synagogue,and beat him before the judgment seat.Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.

18Paul, having stayed after this many more days,took his leave of the brothers,and sailed from there for Syria,together with Priscilla and Aquila.He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 47:2-3, 4-5, 6-7

2Oh clap your hands, all you nations.Shout to God with the voice of triumph!3For the Lord Most High is awesome.He is a great King over all the earth.

4He subdues nations under us,and peoples under our feet.5He chooses our inheritance for us,the glory of Jacob whom he loved.

6God has gone up with a shout,the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.7Sing praises to God! Sing praises!Sing praises to our King! Sing praises!

GospelJohn 16:20-23

From the Gospel according to John

20Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament,but the world will rejoice.You will be sorrowful,but your sorrow will be turned into joy.21A woman, when she gives birth,has sorrow because her time has come.But when she has delivered the child,she doesn’t remember the anguish any more,for the joy that a human being is born into the world.22Therefore you now have sorrow,but I will see you again,and your heart will rejoice,and no one will take your joy away from you.

23“In that day you will ask me no questions.Most certainly I tell you,whatever you may ask of the Father in my name,he will give it to you.

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 31:8-11

Beátus vir, qui invéntus est sine mácula, et qui post aurum non ábiit, nec sperávit in pecúnia et thesáuris. Quis est hic, et laudábimus eum? fecit enim mirabília in vita sua. Qui probátus est in illo, et perféctus est, erit illi glória ætérna: qui potuit tránsgredi, et non est transgréssus: fácere mala, et non fecit: ídeo stabilíta sunt bona illíus in Dómino, et eleemósynas illíus enarrábit omnis ecclésia sanctórum.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Sir 31:8-11

Happy the man found without fault, who turns not aside after gain, nor puts his trust in money nor in treasures! Who is he, that we may praise him? For he has done wonders in his life. He has been tested by gold and come off safe, and this remains his glory forever; he could have sinned but did not, could have done evil but would not, so that his possessions are secure in the Lord, and the assembly of the Saints shall recount his alms.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum.

Matt 18:1-5

In illo témpore: Accessérunt discípuli ad Jesum, dicéntes: Quis, putas, major est in regno cœlórum? Et ádvocans Jesus párvulum, státuit eum in médio eórum et dixit: Amen, dico vobis, nisi convérsi fuéritis et efficiámini sicut párvuli, non intrábitis in regnum cœlórum. Quicumque ergo humiliáverit se sicut párvulus iste, hic est major in regno cœlórum. Et qui suscéperit unum párvulum talem in nómine meo, me súscipit.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 18:1-5

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child to him, set him their midst, and said, Amen I say to you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whoever, therefore, humbles himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such little child for My sake, receives Me.

PrefacePrefatio

de Ascensione Domini

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Qui post resurrectiónem suam ómnibus discípulis suis maniféstus appáruit et, ipsis cernéntibus, est elevátus in cælum, ut nos divinitátis suæ tribúeret esse partícipes. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:

Ascension

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God: through Christ our Lord. Who, after His Resurrection, appeared openly to all His disciples, and, while they looked on, was taken up into heaven, that He might grant unto us to be sharers in His own divinity. 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:
