First ReadingActs 4:8-12

From the Acts of the Apostles

8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit,said to them, “You rulers of the peopleand elders of Israel,9if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man,by what means this man has been healed,10may it be known to you all,and to all the people of Israel,that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,whom you crucified,whom God raised from the dead,this man stands here before you whole in him.11He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you,the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’12There is salvation in no one else,for there is no other name under heaventhat is given among men,by which we must be saved!”

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 118:1, 8-9, 21-23, 26, 28, 29

1Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,for his loving kindness endures forever.

8It is better to take refuge in the Lord,than to put confidence in man.9It is better to take refuge in the Lord,than to put confidence in princes.

21I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me,and have become my salvation.22The stone which the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone.23This is the Lord’s doing.It is marvelous in our eyes.

26Blessed is he who comes in the Lord’s name!We have blessed you out of the Lord’s house.

28You are my God, and I will give thanks to you.You are my God, I will exalt you.

29Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,for his loving kindness endures forever.

Second Reading1 John 3:1-2

From the First Letter of John

1See how great a love the Father has given to us,that we should be called children of God!For this cause the world doesn’t know us,because it didn’t know him.2Beloved, now we are children of God.It is not yet revealed what we will be;but we know that when he is revealed,we will be like him,for we will see him just as he is.

GospelJohn 10:11-18

From the Gospel according to John

11“I am the good shepherd.The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.12He who is a hired hand,and not a shepherd,who doesn’t own the sheep,sees the wolf coming,leaves the sheep, and flees.The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.13The hired hand flees because he is a hired handand doesn’t care for the sheep.14I am the good shepherd.I know my own, and I’m known by my own;15even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father.I lay down my life for the sheep.16I have other sheep which are not of this fold.I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice.They will become one flock with one shepherd.17Therefore the Father loves me,because I lay down my life,that I may take it again.18No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself.I have power to lay it down,and I have power to take it again.I received this commandment from my Father.”

Readings in the World English Bible (Catholic Edition), chosen by the Lectionary for Mass. The prayers of the Mass are in the Roman Missal.

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.

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.

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.

Jas 5:16-20

Caríssimi: Confitémini altérutrum peccáta vestra, et oráte pro ínvicem, ut salvémini: multum enim valet deprecátio justi assídua. Elías homo erat símilis nobis passíbilis: et oratióne orávit, ut non plúeret super terram, et non pluit annos tres et menses sex. Et rursum orávit: et cœlum dedit plúviam et terra dedit fructum suum. Fratres mei, si quis ex vobis erráverit a veritáte et convérterit quis eum: scire debet, quóniam, qui convérti fécerit peccatórem ab erróre viæ suæ, salvábit ánimam ejus a morte, et opériet multitúdinem peccatórum.

Lesson from the letter of St James the Apostle

Jas 5:16-20

Dearly beloved: Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much. Elias was a man passible like unto us: and with prayer he prayed that it might not rain upon the earth, and it rained not for three years and six months. And he prayed again: and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. My brethren, if any of you err from the truth, and one convert him: He must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way, shall save his soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

Et si ille perseveráverit pulsans: dico vobis, etsi non dabit illi surgens, eo quod amícus ejus sit, propter improbitátem tamen ejus surget et dabit illi, quotquot habet necessários. Et ego dico vobis: Pétite, et dábitur vobis: quǽrite, et inveniétis: pulsáte, et aperiétur vobis. Omnis enim, qui petit, áccipit: et qui quærit, invénit: et pulsánti aperietur, Quis autem ex vobis patrem pétii panem, numquid lápidem dabit illi? Aut piscem: numquid pro pisce serpéntem dabit illi? Aut si petíerit ovum: numquid pórriget illi scorpiónem? Si ergo vos, cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare fíliis vestris: quanto magis Pater vester de cœlo dabit spíritum bonum peténtibus se?

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 11:5-13

In that time: Jesus said to His disciples: Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and shall say to him: Friend, lend me three loaves, Because a friend of mine is come off his journey to me, and I have not what to set before him. And he from within should answer, and say: Trouble me not, the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend; yet, because of his importunity, he will rise, and give him as many as he needeth. And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. And which of you, if he ask his father bread, will he give him a stone? or a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he reach him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the good Spirit to them that ask him?
