First ReadingActs 9:1-20

From the Acts of the Apostles

1But Saul, still breathing threatsand slaughter against the disciples of the Lord,went to the high priest2and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus,that if he found any who were of the Way,whether men or women,he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.3As he traveled, he got close to Damascus,and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.4He fell on the earth,and heard a voice saying to him,“Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

5He said, “Who are you, Lord?”

The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.6But rise up and enter into the city,then you will be told what you must do.”

7The men who traveled with him stood speechless,hearing the sound,but seeing no one.8Saul arose from the ground,and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one.They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.9He was without sight for three days,and neither ate nor drank.

10Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias.The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!”

He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”

11The Lord said to him,“Arise and go to the street which is called Straight,and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus.For behold, he is praying,12and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming inand laying his hands on him,that he might receive his sight.”

13But Ananias answered,“Lord, I have heard from many about this man,how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.14Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind allwho call on your name.”

15But the Lord said to him,“Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings,and the children of Israel.16For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”

17Ananias departed and entered into the house.Laying his hands on him,he said, “Brother Saul,the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came,has sent me that you may receive your sightand be filled with the Holy Spirit.”18Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes,and he received his sight.He arose and was baptized.19He took food and was strengthened.

Saul stayed several days with the discipleswho were at Damascus.20Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ,that he is the Son of God.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 117:1bc, 2

1Praise the Lord, all you nations!Extol him, all you peoples!

2For his loving kindness is great toward us.The Lord’s faithfulness endures forever.Praise the Lord!

GospelJohn 6:52-59

From the Gospel according to John

52The Jews therefore contended with one another,saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

53Jesus therefore said to them,“Most certainly I tell you,unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Manand drink his blood,you don’t have life in yourselves.54He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life,and I will raise him up at the last day.55For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.56He who eats my fleshand drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.57As the living Father sent me,and I live because of the Father,so he who feeds on me will also live because of me.58This is the bread which came down out of heaven—not as our fathers ate the manna and died.He who eats this bread will live forever.”59He said these things in the synagogue,as he taught in Capernaum.

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.’

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.

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:

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.
