First ReadingActs 12:24—13:5a

From the Acts of the Apostles

24But the word of God grew and multiplied.25Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalemwhen they had fulfilled their service,also taking with them John who was called Mark.

1Now in the assemblythat was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers:Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger,Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.2As they served the Lord and fasted,the Holy Spirit said,“Separate Barnabas and Saul for me,for the work to which I have called them.”

3Then, when they had fasted and prayedand laid their hands on them,they sent them away.4So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit,they went down to Seleucia.From there they sailed to Cyprus.5When they were at Salamis,they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues.They also had John as their attendant.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 67:2-3, 5, 6 and 8

2May God be merciful to us, bless us,and cause his face to shine on us.3That your way may be known on earth,and your salvation among all nations,

5Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy,for you will judge the peoples with equity,and govern the nations on earth.

6Let the peoples praise you, God.Let all the peoples praise you.8God will bless us.All the ends of the earth shall fear him.

GospelJohn 12:44-50

From the Gospel according to John

44Jesus cried out and said,“Whoever believes in me,believes not in me,but in him who sent me.45He who sees me sees him who sent me.46I have come as a light into the world,that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.47If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe,I don’t judge him.For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.48He who rejects me,and doesn’t receive my sayings,has one who judges him.The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.49For I spoke not from myself,but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment,what I should say and what I should speak.50I know that his commandment is eternal life.The things therefore which I speak,even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Sap 5:1-5

Stabunt justi in magna constántia advérsus eos, qui se angustiavérunt et qui abstulérunt labóres eórum. Vidéntes turbabúntur timore horríbili, et mirabúntur in subitatióne insperátæ salútis, dicéntes intra se, poeniténtiam agéntes, et præ angústia spíritus geméntes: Hi sunt, quos habúimus aliquándo in derísum et in similitúdinem impropérii. Nos insensáti vitam illórum æstimabámus insániam, et finem illórum sine honóre: ecce, quómodo computáti sunt inter fílios Dei, et inter Sanctos sors illórum est.

Lesson from the book of Wisdom

Wis 5:1-5

Then shall the just stand with great constancy against those that have afflicted them, and taken away their labours. These seeing it, shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the suddenness of their unexpected salvation. Saying within themselves, repenting, and groaning for anguish of spirit: These are they, whom we had some time in derision, and for a parable of reproach. We fools esteemed their life madness, and their end without honour. Behold how they are numbered among the children of God, and their lot is among the saints.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem

Joannes 15:1-7

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Ego sum vitis vera: et Pater meus agrícola est. Omnem pálmitem in me non feréntem fructum, tollet eum: et omnem, qui fert fructum, purgábit eum, ut fructum plus áfferat. Jam vos mundi estis propter sermónem, quem locútus sum vobis. Manéte in me: et ego in vobis. Sicut palmes non potest ferre fructum a semetípso, nisi mánserit in vite: sic nec vos, nisi in me manséritis. Ego sum vitis, vos pálmites: qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum: quia sine me nihil potéstis fácere. Si quis in me non mánserit, mittétur foras sicut palmes, et aréscet, et cólligent eum, et in ignem mittent, et ardet. Si manséritis in me, et verba mea in vobis mánserint: quodcúmque voluéritis, petétis, et fiet vobis.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John

John 15:1-7

In that time, Jesus said to his disciples: I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.

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:
