First ReadingActs 5:17-26

From the Acts of the Apostles

17But the high priest rose up,and all thosewho were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees),and they were filled with jealousy18and laid hands on the apostles,then put them in public custody.19But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night,and brought them out and said,20“Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”

21When they heard this,they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught.But the high priest and those who were with him cameand called the council together,with all the senate of the children of Israel,and sent to the prison to have them brought.22But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison.They returned and reported,23“We found the prison shut and locked,and the guards standing before the doors,but when we opened them,we found no one inside!”

24Now when the high priest,the captain of the temple,and the chief priests heard these words,they were very perplexed about themand what might become of this.25One came and told them,“Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple,standing and teaching the people.”26Then the captain went with the officers,and brought them without violence,for they were afraid that the people might stone them.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9

2I will bless the Lord at all times.His praise will always be in my mouth.3My soul shall boast in the Lord.The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

4Oh magnify the Lord with me.Let’s exalt his name together.5I sought the Lord, and he answered me,and delivered me from all my fears.

6They looked to him, and were radiant.Their faces shall never be covered with shame.7This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him,and saved him out of all his troubles.

8The Lord’s angel encamps around those who fear him,and delivers them.9Oh taste and see that the Lord is good.Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

GospelJohn 3:16-21

From the Gospel according to John

16For God so loved the world,that he gave his only born Son,that whoever believes in him should not perish,but have eternal life.17For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world,but that the world should be saved through him.18He who believes in him is not judged.He who doesn’t believe has been judged already,because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.19This is the judgment,that the light has come into the world,and men loved the darkness rather than the light,for their works were evil.20For everyone who does evil hates the lightand doesn’t come to the light,lest his works would be exposed.21But he who does the truth comes to the light,that his works may be revealed,that they have been done in God.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Philippénses

Philipp 3:7-12

Fratres: Quæ mihi fuérunt lucra, hæc arbitrátus sum propter Christum defriménta. Verúmtamen exístimo ómnia detriméntum esse propter eminéntem sciéntiam Jesu Christi, Dómini mei: propter quem ómnia detriméntum feci et árbitror ut stércora, ut Christum lucrifáciam et invéniar in illo, non habens meam justítiam, quæ ex lege est, sed illam, quæ ex fide est Christi Jesu: quæ ex Deo est justítia in fide, ad cognoscéndum illum, et virtútem resurrectiónis ejus, et societátem passiónum illíus: configurátus morti ejus: si quo modo occúrram ad resurrectiónem, quæ est ex mórtuis: non quod jam accéperim aut jam perféctus sim: sequor autem, si quo modo comprehéndam, in quo et comprehénsus sum a Christo Jesu.

Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Philippians

Phil 3:7-12

Brethren: The things that were gain to me, these, for the sake of Christ, I have counted loss. Nay more, I count everything loss because of the excelling knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord. For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I count them as dung that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a justice of my own, which is from the Law, but that which is from faith in Christ, the justice from God based upon faith; so that I may know Him and the power of His Resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings: become like to Him in death, in the hope that somehow I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained this, or already have been made perfect, but I press on hoping that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has laid hold of me.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 12:32-34

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Nolíte timére, pusíllus grex, quia complácuit Patri vestro dare vobis regnum. Véndite quæ possidétis, et date eleemósynam. Fácite vobis sácculos, qui non veteráscunt, thesáurum non deficiéntem in cœlis: quo fur non apprópiat, neque tínea corrúmpit. Ubi enim thesáurus vester est, ibi et cor vestrum erit.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 12:32-34

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, Do not be afraid, little flock, for it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom. Sell what you have and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that do not grow old, a treasure unfailing in heaven, where neither thief draws near nor moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.

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:
