First ReadingZephaniah 3:14-18a

From the Book of Zephaniah

or Romans 12:9-16

14Sing, daughter of Zion!Shout, Israel!Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,daughter of Jerusalem.15The Lord has taken away your judgments.He has thrown out your enemy.The King of Israel, the Lord, is among you.You will not be afraid of evil any more.16In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem,“Don’t be afraid, Zion.Don’t let your hands be weak.”17The Lord, your God,is among you, a mighty one who will save.He will rejoice over you with joy.He will calm you in his love.He will rejoice over you with singing.18I will remove thosewho grieve about the appointed feasts from you.They are a burden and a reproach to you.

Responsorial PsalmIsaiah 12:2-3, 4bcd, 5-6

From the Book of Isaiah

2Behold, God is my salvation.I will trust, and will not be afraid;for the Lord, the Lord, is my strength and song;and he has become my salvation.”3Therefore with joy you will draw water out of the wells of salvation.

4In that day you will say, “Give thanks to the Lord!Call on his name!Declare his doings among the peoples!Proclaim that his name is exalted!

5Sing to the Lord, for he has done excellent things!Let this be known in all the earth!6Cry aloud and shout,you inhabitant of Zion,for the Holy One of Israel is great among you!”

GospelLuke 1:39-56

From the Gospel according to Luke

39Mary arose in those daysand went into the hill country with haste,into a city of Judah,40and entered into the house of Zachariasand greeted Elizabeth.41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,the baby leaped in her womb;and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.42She called out with a loud voice and said,“Blessed are you among women,and blessed is the fruit of your womb!43Why am I so favored,that the mother of my Lord should come to me?44For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears,the baby leaped in my womb for joy!45Blessed is she who believed,for there will be a fulfillment of the thingswhich have been spoken to her from the Lord!”

46Mary said,

“My soul magnifies the Lord.47My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,48for he has looked at the humble state of his servant.For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.49For he who is mighty has done great things for me.Holy is his name.50His mercy is for generations and generations on those who fear him.51He has shown strength with his arm.He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.52He has put down princes from their thrones,and has exalted the lowly.53He has filled the hungry with good things.He has sent the rich away empty.54He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,55as he spoke to our fathers,to Abraham and his offspring forever.”

56Mary stayed with her about three months,and then returned to her house.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Actuum Apostolórum

Acts 10:34; 10:42-48

In diébus illis: Apériens Petrus os suum, dixit: Viri fratres, nobis præcépit Dóminus prædicáre pópulo: et testificári, quia ipse est, qui constitútus est a Deo judex vivórum et mortuórum. Huic omnes Prophétæ testimónium pérhibent, remissiónem peccatórum accípere per nomen ejus omnes, qui credunt in eum. Adhuc loquénte Petro verba hæc, cecidit Spíritus Sanctus super omnes, qui audiébant verbum. Et obstupuérunt ex circumcisióne fidéles, qui vénerant cum Petro: quia et in natiónes grátia Spíritus Sancti effúsa est. Audiébant enim illos loquéntes linguis et magnificántes Deum. Tunc respóndit Petrus: Numquid aquam quis prohibére potest, ut non baptizéntur hi, qui Spíritum Sanctum accepérunt sicut et nos? Et jussit eos baptizári in nómine Dómini Jesu Christi.

Lesson from the Acts of the Apostles

Acts 10:34, 42-48

In those days, Peter opening his mouth, said, Men, brethren, the Lord charged us to preach to the people and to testify that He it is Who has been appointed by God to be judge of the living and of the dead. To Him all the prophets bear witness, that through His Name all who believe in Him may receive forgiveness of sins. While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came upon all who were listening to his message. And the faithful of the circumcision, who had come with Peter, were amazed, because on the Gentiles also the grace of the Holy Spirit had been poured forth; for they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered, Can anyone refuse the water to baptize these, seeing that they have received the Holy Spirit just as we did? And he ordered them to be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Holy Spirit! Lord of light!

From Thy clear celestial height, Thy pure, beaming radiance give:

Come, Thou, Father of the poor!

Come, with treasures which endure!

Come, Thou light of all that live!

Thou of all consolers best,

Visiting the troubled breast,

Dost refreshing peace bestow:

Thou in toil art comfort sweet;

Pleasant coolness in the heat;

Solace in the midst of woe.

Light immortal! Light divine!

Visit Thou these hearts of Thine, And our inmost being fill.

If Thou take Thy grace away,

Nothing pure in man will stay;

All his good is turn’d to ill.

Heal our wounds - our strength renew;

On our dryness pour Thy dew;

Wash the stains of guilt away:

Bend the stubborn heart and will;

Melt the frozen, warm the chill;

Guide the steps that go astray.

Thou, on those who evermore

Thee confess and Thee adore,

In Thy sevenfold gifts descend.

Give them comfort when they die;

Give them life with Thee on high;

Give them joys which never end.

Amen. Alleluia.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem

Joannes 3:16-21

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus Nicodémo: Sic Deus diléxit mundum, ut Fílium suum unigénitum daret: ut omnis, qui credit in eum, non péreat, sed hábeat vitam ætérnam. Non enim misit Deus Fílium suum in mundum, ut júdicet mundum, sed ut salvétur mundus per ipsum. Qui credit in eum, non judicátur; qui autem non credit, jam judicátus est: quia non credit in nómine unigéniti Fílii Dei. Hoc est autem judícium: quia lux venit in mundum, et dilexérunt hómines magis ténebras quam lucem: erant enim eórum mala ópera. Omnis enim, qui male agit, odit lucem, et non venit ad lucem, ut non arguántur ópera ejus: qui autem facit veritátem, venit ad lucem, ut manifesténtur ópera ejus, quia in Deo sunt facta.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John

John 3:16-21

At that time, Jesus said to Nicodemus: God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that those who believe in Him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. For God did not send His Son into the world in order to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; but he who does not believe in Him is already judged, because he does not believe in the Name of the only-begotten Son of God. Now this is the judgment: The light has come into the world, yet men have loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, that his deeds may not be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light that his deeds may be made manifest, for they have been performed in God.

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God: through Christ our Lord.

Wherefore the whole world doth rejoice with overflowing joy; and the heavenly Hosts also and the angelic Powers sing together the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
