First ReadingActs 8:1b-8

From the Acts of the Apostles

1Saul was consenting to his death.A great persecution arose against the assemblywhich was in Jerusalem in that day.They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria,except for the apostles.2Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.3But Saul ravaged the assembly,entering into every houseand dragged both men and women off to prison.4Therefore thosewho were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.5Philip went down to the city of Samariaand proclaimed to them the Christ.6The multitudes listened with one accord to the thingsthat were spoken by Philip when they heardand saw the signs which he did.7For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them.They came out, crying with a loud voice.Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.8There was great joy in that city.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 66:1-3a, 4-5, 6-7a

1Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!2Sing to the glory of his name!Offer glory and praise!3Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds!Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.

4All the earth will worship you,and will sing to you;they will sing to your name.”5Come, and see God’s deeds—awesome work on behalf of the children of men.

6He turned the sea into dry land.They went through the river on foot.There, we rejoiced in him.7He rules by his might forever.His eyes watch the nations.Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him.

GospelJohn 6:35-40

From the Gospel according to John

35Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life.Whoever comes to me will not be hungry,and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.36But I told you that you have seen me,and yet you don’t believe.37All those whom the Father gives me will come to me.He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.38For I have come down from heaven,not to do my own will,but the will of him who sent me.39This is the will of my Father who sent me,that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing,but should raise him up at the last day.40This is the will of the one who sent me,that everyone who sees the Sonand believes in him should have eternal life;and I will raise him up at the last day.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Petri Apóstoli

1 Pet 5:1-4; 5:10-11

Caríssimi: Senióres, qui in vobis sunt, obsécro consénior et testis Christi passiónum, qui et ejus, quæ in futúro revelánda est, glóriæ communicátor: páscite qui in vobis est gregem Dei, providéntes non coácte, sed spontánee secúndum Deum, neque turpis lucri grátia, sed voluntárie; neque ut dominántes in cleris, sed forma facti gregis ex ánimo. Et, cum apparúerit princeps pastórum, percipiétis immarcescíbilem glóriæ corónam. Deus autem omnis grátiæ, qui vocávit nos in ætérnam suam glóriam in Christo Jesu, módicum passos ipse perfíciet, confirmábit solidabítque. Ipsi glória et impérium in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Lesson from the first letter of St Peter the Apostle

1 Pet 5:1-4; 5:10-11.

Dearly beloved brethren: The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech, who am myself also an ancient, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ: as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint, but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre's sake, but voluntarily: Neither as lording it over the clergy, but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart. And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory. But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you. To him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 16:13-19

In illo témpore: Venit Jesus in partes Cæsaréæ Philíppi, et interrogábat discípulos suos, dicens: Quem dicunt hómines esse Fílium hóminis? At illi dixérunt: Alii Joánnem Baptístam, alii autem Elíam, álii vero Jeremíam, aut unum ex prophétis. Dicit illis Jesus: Vos autem quem me esse dícitis? Respóndens Simon Petrus, dixit: Tu es Christus, Fílius Dei vivi. Respóndens autem Jesus, dixit ei: Beátus es, Simon Bar Jona: quia caro et sanguis non revelávit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui in cœlis est. Et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam, et portæ ínferi non prævalébunt advérsus eam. Et tibi dabo claves regni cœlórum. Et quodcúmque ligáveris super terram, erit ligátum et in cœlis: et quodcúmque sólveris super terram, erit solútum et in cœlis.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 16:13-19

In that time: Jesus came into the quarters of Caesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is? But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets. Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.

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:
