First ReadingActs 9:1-20

From the Acts of the Apostles

1But Saul, still breathing threatsand slaughter against the disciples of the Lord,went to the high priest2and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus,that if he found any who were of the Way,whether men or women,he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.3As he traveled, he got close to Damascus,and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.4He fell on the earth,and heard a voice saying to him,“Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

5He said, “Who are you, Lord?”

The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.6But rise up and enter into the city,then you will be told what you must do.”

7The men who traveled with him stood speechless,hearing the sound,but seeing no one.8Saul arose from the ground,and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one.They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.9He was without sight for three days,and neither ate nor drank.

10Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias.The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!”

He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”

11The Lord said to him,“Arise and go to the street which is called Straight,and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus.For behold, he is praying,12and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming inand laying his hands on him,that he might receive his sight.”

13But Ananias answered,“Lord, I have heard from many about this man,how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.14Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind allwho call on your name.”

15But the Lord said to him,“Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings,and the children of Israel.16For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”

17Ananias departed and entered into the house.Laying his hands on him,he said, “Brother Saul,the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came,has sent me that you may receive your sightand be filled with the Holy Spirit.”18Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes,and he received his sight.He arose and was baptized.19He took food and was strengthened.

Saul stayed several days with the discipleswho were at Damascus.20Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ,that he is the Son of God.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 117:1bc, 2

1Praise the Lord, all you nations!Extol him, all you peoples!

2For his loving kindness is great toward us.The Lord’s faithfulness endures forever.Praise the Lord!

GospelJohn 6:52-59

From the Gospel according to John

52The Jews therefore contended with one another,saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

53Jesus therefore said to them,“Most certainly I tell you,unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Manand drink his blood,you don’t have life in yourselves.54He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life,and I will raise him up at the last day.55For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.56He who eats my fleshand drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.57As the living Father sent me,and I live because of the Father,so he who feeds on me will also live because of me.58This is the bread which came down out of heaven—not as our fathers ate the manna and died.He who eats this bread will live forever.”59He said these things in the synagogue,as he taught in Capernaum.

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Sap 10:10-14

Justum dedúxit Dóminus per vias rectas, et ostendit illi regnum Dei, et dedit illi sciéntiam sanctórum: honestávit illum in labóribus, et complévit labores illíus. In fraude circumveniéntium illum áffuit illi, et honéstum fecit illum. Custodívit illum ab inimícis, et a seductóribus tutávit illum, et certámen forte dedit illi, ut vínceret et sciret, quóniam ómnium poténtior est sapiéntia. Hæc vénditum justum non derelíquit, sed a peccatóribus liberávit eum: descendítque cum illo in fóveam, et in vínculis non derelíquit illum, donec afférret illi sceptrum regni, et poténtiam advérsus eos, qui eum deprimébant: et mendáces osténdit, qui maculavérunt illum, et dedit illi claritátem ætérnam, Dóminus, Deus noster.

Lesson from the book of Wisdom

Wis 10:10-14

She conducted the just, when he fled from his brother's wrath, through the right ways, and shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him the knowledge of the holy things, made him honourable in his labours, and accomplished his labours. In the deceit of them that overreached him, she stood by him, and made him honourable. She kept him safe from his enemies, and she defended him from seducers, and gave him a strong conflict, that he might overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all. She forsook not the just when he was sold, but delivered him from sinners: she went down with him into the pit. And in bands she left him not, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: and shewed them to be liars that had accused him, and gave him everlasting glory.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 14:26-33

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus turbis: Si quis venit ad me, et non odit patrem suum, et matrem, et uxórem, et fílios, et fratres, et soróres, adhuc autem et ánimam suam, non potest meus esse discípulus. Et qui non bájulat crucem suam, et venit post me, non potest meus esse discípulus. Quis enim ex vobis volens turrim ædificáre, non prius sedens cómputat sumptus, qui necessárii sunt, si hábeat ad perficiéndum; ne, posteáquam posúerit fundaméntum, et non potúerit perfícere, omnes, qui vident, incípiant illúdere ei, dicéntes: Quia hic homo cœpit ædificáre, et non pótuit consummáre? Aut quis rex itúrus commíttere bellum advérsus álium regem, non sedens prius cógitat, si possit cum decem mílibus occúrrere ei, qui cum vigínti mílibus venit ad se? Alióquin, adhuc illo longe agénte, legatiónem mittens, rogat ea, quæ pacis sunt. Sic ergo omnis ex vobis, qui non renúntiat ómnibus, quæ póssidet, non potest meus esse discípulus.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 14:26-33.

At that time, Jesus said to the crowds, If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. And he who does not carry his cross and follow Me, cannot be My disciple. For which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not sit down first and calculate the outlays that are necessary, whether he has the means to complete it? Lest, after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish, all who behold begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish!’ Or what king setting out to engage in battle with another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to meet him who with twenty thousand is coming against him? Or else, whilst the other is yet at a distance, he sends a delegation and asks the terms of peace. So, therefore, every one of you who does not renounce all that he possesses, cannot be My disciple.

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:
