First ReadingActs 4:23-31

From the Acts of the Apostles

23Being let go, they came to their own company and reported allthat the chief priests and the elders had said to them.24When they heard it,they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said,“O Lord, you are God,who made the sky, the earth,the sea, and all that is in them;25who by the mouth of your servant David, said,

‘Why do the nations rage,and the peoples plot a vain thing?26The kings of the earth take a stand,and the rulers plot together,against the Lord, and against his Christ.’

27“For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate,with the Gentiles and the people of Israel,were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus,whom you anointed,28to do whatever your handand your counsel foreordained to happen.29Now, Lord, look at their threats,and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,30while you stretch out your hand to heal;and that signsand wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”

31When they had prayed,the place was shaken where they were gathered together.They were all filled with the Holy Spirit,and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 2:1-3, 4-7a, 7b-9

1Why do the nations rage,and the peoples plot a vain thing?2The kings of the earth take a stand,and the rulers take counsel together,against the Lord, and against his Anointed, saying,3“Let’s break their bonds apart,and cast their cords from us.”

4He who sits in the heavens will laugh.The Lord will have them in derision.5Then he will speak to them in his anger,and terrify them in his wrath:6“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”7I will tell of the decree:

7The Lord said to me, “You are my son.Today I have become your father.8Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.9You shall break them with a rod of iron.You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

GospelJohn 3:1-8

From the Gospel according to John

1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus,a ruler of the Jews.2He came to Jesus by night and said to him,“Rabbi, we know that you are a teacherwho has come from God,for no one can do these signs that you do,unless God is with him.”

3Jesus answered him,“Most certainly I tell you,unless one is born anew,he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”

4Nicodemus said to him,“How can a man be born when he is old?Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”

5Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you,unless one is born of water and Spirit,he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.6That which is born of the flesh is flesh.That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.7Don’t marvel that I said to you,‘You must all be born anew.’8The wind blows where it wants to,and you hear its sound,but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going.So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corinthios

1 Cor 1:17-25.

Fratres: Non misit me Christus baptizáre, sed evangelizáre: non in sapiéntia verbi, ut non evacuétur Crux Christi. Verbum enim Crucis pereúntibus quidem stultítia est: iis autem, qui salvi fiunt, id est nobis, Dei virtus est. Scriptum est enim: Perdam sapiéntiam sapiéntium et prudéntiam prudéntium reprobábo. Ubi sápiens? ubi scriba? ubi conquisítor hujus sǽculi? Nonne stultam fecit Deus sapiéntiam hujus mundi? Nam quia in Dei sapiéntia non cognóvit mundus per sapiéntiam Deum: plácuit Deo per stultítiam prædicatiónis salvos fácere credéntes. Quóniam et Judǽi signa petunt et Græci sapiéntiam quærunt: nos autem prædicámus Christum crucifíxum: Judǽis quidem scándalum, géntibus autem stultítiam, ipsis autem vocátis Judǽis atque Græcis Christum Dei virtútem et Dei sapiéntiam: quia, quod stultum est Dei, sapiéntius est homínibus: et, quod infírmum est Dei, fórtius est homínibus.

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

1 Cor 1:17-25.

Brothers: Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void. For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness; but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God. For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the prudence of the prudent I will reject. Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe. For both the Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a stumbling-block, and unto the Gentiles foolishness: But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 10:1-9

In illo témpore: Designávit Dóminus et álios septuagínta duos: et misit illos binos ante fáciem suam in omnem civitátem et locum, quo erat ipse ventúrus. ¶ Et dicebat illis: Messis quidem multa, operárii autem pauci. Rogáte ergo Dóminum messis, ut mittat operários in messem suam. Ite: ecce, ego mitto vos sicut agnos inter lupos. Nolíte portáre sácculum neque peram neque calceaménta; et néminem per viam salutavéritis. In quamcúmque domum intravéritis, primum dícite: Pax huic dómui: et si ibi fúerit fílius pacis, requiéscet super illum pax vestra: sin autem, ad vos revertétur. In eádem autem domo manéte, edéntes et bibéntes quæ apud illos sunt: dignus est enim operárius mercéde sua. Nolíte transíre de domo in domum. Et in quamcúmque civitátem intravéritis, et suscéperint vos, manducáte quæ apponúntur vobis: et curáte infírmos, qui in illa sunt, et dícite illis: Appropinquávit in vos regnum Dei.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 10:1-9

At that time, the Lord appointed seventy-two others, and sent them forth two by two before Him into every town and place where He Himself was about to come. And He said to them, The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into His harvest. Go. Behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves. Carry neither purse, nor wallet, nor sandals, and greet no one on the way. Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house!’ And if a son of peace be there, your peace will rest upon him; but if not, it will return to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they have; for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. And whatever town you enter, and they receive you, eat what is set before you, and cure the sick who are there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand for you.’

Ambuláte in dilectióne, sicut et Christus diléxit nos, et trádidit semetípsum pro nobis oblatiónem et hóstiam Deo in odórem suavitátis, allelúja.

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness.

Cœléstem nobis, Dómine, prǽbeant mystéria hæc passiónis et mortis tuæ fervórem: quo sanctus Paulus, ea offeréndo, corpus suum hóstiam vivéntem, sanctam tibíque placéntem exhíbuit:

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:

Qui vivis…

We have received, O Lord, the divine sacrament, which is a perpetual memorial, of thy boundless love; grant we pray, that through the merits and example of St. Paul, we may draw from thy fountains water springing up to life eternal, and in our life and conduct, we may keep thy most holy Passion ever impressed upon our hearts.
