First ReadingActs 8:1b-8

From the Acts of the Apostles

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.2Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.3But Saul ravaged the assembly,entering into every houseand dragged both men and women off to prison.4Therefore thosewho were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.5Philip went down to the city of Samariaand proclaimed to them the Christ.6The multitudes listened with one accord to the thingsthat were spoken by Philip when they heardand saw the signs which he did.7For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them.They came out, crying with a loud voice.Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.8There was great joy in that city.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 66:1-3a, 4-5, 6-7a

1Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!2Sing to the glory of his name!Offer glory and praise!3Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds!Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.

4All the earth will worship you,and will sing to you;they will sing to your name.”5Come, and see God’s deeds—awesome work on behalf of the children of men.

6He turned the sea into dry land.They went through the river on foot.There, we rejoiced in him.7He rules by his might forever.His eyes watch the nations.Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him.

GospelJohn 6:35-40

From the Gospel according to John

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.36But I told you that you have seen me,and yet you don’t believe.37All those whom the Father gives me will come to me.He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.38For I have come down from heaven,not to do my own will,but the will of him who sent me.39This is the will of my Father who sent me,that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing,but should raise him up at the last day.40This is the will of the one who sent me,that everyone who sees the Sonand believes in him should have eternal life;and I will raise him up at the last day.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios

2 Cor 10:17-18; 11:1-2

Fratres: Qui gloriátur, in Dómino gloriétur. Non enim, qui seípsum comméndat, ille probátus est; sed quem Deus comméndat. Utinam sustinerétis módicum quid insipiéntiæ meæ, sed et supportáte me: æmulor enim vos Dei æmulatióne. Despóndi enim vos uni viro vírginem castam exhibére Christo.

Lesson from the second letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians

2 Cor 10:17-18; 11:1-2

Brothers: He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. For not he who commendeth himself, is approved, but he, whom God commendeth. Would to God you could bear with some little of my folly: but do bear with me. For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God. For I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 25:1-13

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Símile erit regnum coelórum decem virgínibus: quæ, accipiéntes lámpades suas, exiérunt óbviam sponso et sponsæ. Quinque autem ex eis erant fátuæ, et quinque prudéntes: ¶ sed quinque fátuæ, accéptis lampádibus, non sumpsérunt óleum secum: prudéntes vero accepérunt óleum in vasis suis cum lampádibus. Moram autem faciénte sponso, dormitavérunt omnes et dormiérunt. Média autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce, sponsus venit, exíte óbviam ei. Tunc surrexérunt omnes vírgines íllæ, et ornavérunt lámpades suas. Fátuæ autem sapiéntibus dixérunt: Date nobis de óleo vestro: quia lámpades nostræ exstinguúntur. Respondérunt prudéntes, dicéntes: Ne forte non suffíciat nobis et vobis, ite pótius ad vendéntes, et émite vobis. Dum autem irent émere, venit sponsus: et quæ parátæ erant, intravérunt cum eo ad núptias, et clausa est jánua. Novíssime vero véniunt et réliquæ vírgines, dicéntes: Dómine, Dómine, áperi nobis. At ille respóndens, ait: Amen, dico vobis, néscio vos. Vigiláte ítaque, quia nescítis diem neque horam.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 25:1-13.

At that time Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: “Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride. Five of them were foolish and five wise. But the five foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, while the wise did take oil in their vessels with the lamps. Then as the bridegroom was long in coming, they all became drowsy and slept. And at midnight a cry arose, 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming, go forth to meet him!' Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' The wise answered, saying, 'Lest there may not be enough for us and for you, go rather to those who sell it, and buy some for yourselves.' Now while they were gone to buy it, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Finally there came also the other virgins, who said, 'Sir, sir, open the door for us!' But he answered and said, 'Amen I say to you, I do not know you.' Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

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:
