First Reading1 Corinthians 15:1-8

From the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians

1Now I declare to you,brothers, the Good News which I preached to you,which also you received,in which you also stand,2by which also you are saved,if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

3For I delivered to you first of allthat which I also received:that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,4that he was buried,that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.6Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once,most of whom remain until now,but some have also fallen asleep.7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,8and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time,he appeared to me also.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 19:2-3, 4-5

2The heavens declare the glory of God.The expanse shows his handiwork.3Day after day they pour out speech,and night after night they display knowledge.

4There is no speech nor languagewhere their voice is not heard.5Their voice has gone out through all the earth,their words to the end of the world.In them he has set a tent for the sun,

GospelJohn 14:6-14

From the Gospel according to John

6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.No one comes to the Father, except through me.7If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.From now on, you know him and have seen him.”

8Philip said to him,“Lord, show us the Father,and that will be enough for us.”

9Jesus said to him,“Have I been with you such a long time,and do you not know me, Philip?He who has seen me has seen the Father.How do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?10Don’t you believe that I am in the Father,and the Father in me?The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself;but the Father who lives in me does his works.11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me;or else believe me for the very works’ sake.12Most certainly I tell you,he who believes in me,the works that I do, he will do also;and he will do greater works than these,because I am going to my Father.13Whatever you will ask in my name,I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.14If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.

Deus, qui errántibus, ut in viam possint redíre justítiæ, veritátis tuæ lumen osténdis: da cunctis, qui christiána professióne censéntur, et illa respúere, quæ huic inimíca sunt nómini; et ea, quæ sunt apta, sectári.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Petri Apóstoli

1 Pet 2:11-19

Caríssimi: Obsecro vos tamquam ádvenas et peregrínos abstinére vos a carnálibus desidériis, quæ mílitant advérsus ánimam, conversatiónem vestram inter gentes habéntes bonam: ut in eo, quod detréctant de vobis tamquam de malefactóribus, ex bonis opéribus vos considerántes, gloríficent Deum in die visitatiónis. Subjécti ígitur estóte omni humánæ creatúræ propter Deum: sive regi, quasi præcellénti: sive dúcibus, tamquam ab eo missis ad vindíctam malefactórum, laudem vero bonórum: quia sic est volúntas Dei, ut benefaciéntes obmutéscere faciátis imprudéntium hóminum ignorántiam: quasi líberi, et non quasi velámen habéntes malítiæ libertátem, sed sicut servi Dei. Omnes honoráte: fraternitátem dilígite: Deum timéte: regem honorificáte. Servi, súbditi estóte in omni timóre dóminis, non tantum bonis et modéstis, sed étiam dýscolis. Hæc est enim grátia: in Christo Jesu, Dómino nostro.

Lesson from the first letter of St. Peter the Apostle

1 Pet 2:11-19

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, to refrain yourselves from carnal desires which war against the soul, Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works, which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation. Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God's sake: whether it be to the king as excelling; Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of the good: For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. For this is thankworthy, if for conscience towards God, a man endure sorrows, suffering wrongfully.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem

Joannes 16:16-22

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Módicum, et jam non vidébitis me: et íterum módicum, et vidébitis me: quia vado ad Patrem. Dixérunt ergo ex discípulis ejus ad ínvicem: Quid est hoc, quod dicit nobis: Módicum, et non vidébitis me: et íterum módicum, et vidébitis me, et quia vado ad Patrem? Dicébant ergo: Quid est hoc, quod dicit: Módicum? nescímus, quid lóquitur. Cognóvit autem Jesus, quia volébant eum interrogáre, et dixit eis: De hoc quǽritis inter vos, quia dixi: Módicum, et non vidébitis me: et íterum módicum, et vidébitis me. Amen, amen, dico vobis: quia plorábitis et flébitis vos, mundus autem gaudébit: vos autem contristabímini, sed tristítia vestra vertétur in gáudium. Múlier cum parit, tristítiam habet, quia venit hora ejus: cum autem pepérerit púerum, jam non méminit pressúræ propter gáudium, quia natus est homo in mundum. Et vos ígitur nunc quidem tristítiam habétis, íterum autem vidébo vos, et gaudébit cor vestrum: et gáudium vestrum nemo tollet a vobis.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John

John 16:16-22

In that time: Jesus said to his disciples: A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father. Then some of the disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, because I go to the Father? They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? we know not what he speaketh. And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him; and he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me? Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.

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:
