First ReadingActs 6:8-15

From the Acts of the Apostles

8Stephen, full of faith and power,performed great wonders and signs among the people.9But some of thosewho were of the synagogue called “The Libertines”,and of the Cyrenians,of the Alexandrians,and of those of Cilicia and Asia arose,disputing with Stephen.10They weren’t able to withstand the wisdomand the Spirit by which he spoke.11Then they secretly induced men to say,“We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.”12They stirred up the people,the elders, and the scribes,and came against him and seized him,then brought him in to the council,13and set up false witnesses who said,“This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.14For we have heard him saythat this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place,and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us.”15All who sat in the council,fastening their eyes on him,saw his face like it was the face of an angel.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 119:23-24, 26-27, 29-30

23Though princes sit and slander me,your servant will meditate on your statutes.24Indeed your statutes are my delight,and my counselors.

26I declared my ways, and you answered me.Teach me your statutes.27Let me understand the teaching of your precepts!Then I will meditate on your wondrous works.

29Keep me from the way of deceit.Grant me your law graciously!30I have chosen the way of truth.I have set your ordinances before me.

GospelJohn 6:22-29

From the Gospel according to John

22On the next day, the multitudethat stood on the other side of the sea sawthat there was no other boat there,except the one in which his disciples had embarked,and that Jesus hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat,but his disciples had gone away alone.23However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.24When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there,nor his disciples,they themselves got into the boatsand came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.25When they found him on the other side of the sea,they asked him, “Rabbi,when did you come here?”

26Jesus answered them,“Most certainly I tell you,you seek me, not because you saw signs,but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.27Don’t work for the food which perishes,but for the food which remains to eternal life,which the Son of Man will give to you.For God the Father has sealed him.”

28They said therefore to him,“What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”

29Jesus answered them,“This is the work of God,that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Petri Apóstoli

1 Petri 2:21-25

Caríssimi: Christus passus est pro nobis, vobis relínquens exémplum, ut sequámini vestígia ejus. Qui peccátum non fecit, nec invéntus est dolus in ore ejus: qui cum maledicerétur, non maledicébat: cum paterétur, non comminabátur: tradébat autem judicánti se injúste: qui peccáta nostra ipse pértulit in córpore suo super lignum: ut, peccátis mórtui, justítiæ vivámus: cujus livóre sanáti estis. Erátis enim sicut oves errántes, sed convérsi estis nunc ad pastórem et epíscopum animárum vestrárum.

Lesson from the first letter of St. Peter the Apostle

1 Pet 2:21-25

Dearly beloved, Christ suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow His steps who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth. Who when He was reviled, did not revile: when He suffered, He threatened not, but delivered Himself to him that judged Him unjustly: who His own self bore our sins in His body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice; by whose stripes you were healed. For you were as sheep going astray: but you are now converted to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem

Joann 10:11-16

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus pharisǽis: Ego sum pastor bonus. Bonus pastor ánimam suam dat pro óvibus suis. Mercenárius autem et qui non est pastor, cujus non sunt oves própriæ, videt lupum veniéntem, et dimíttit oves et fugit: et lupus rapit et dispérgit oves: mercenárius autem fugit, quia mercenárius est et non pértinet ad eum de óvibus. Ego sum pastor bonus: et cognósco meas et cognóscunt me meæ. Sicut novit me Pater, et ego agnósco Patrem, et ánimam meam pono pro óvibus meis. Et álias oves hábeo, quæ non sunt ex hoc ovíli: et illas opórtet me addúcere, et vocem meam áudient, et fiet unum ovíle et unus pastor.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John

John 10:11-16

At that time Jesus said to the Pharisees: I am the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd giveth his life for his sheep. But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf catcheth and scattereth the sheep: and the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling, and he hath no care for the sheep. I am the good Shepherd: and I know Mine, and Mine know Me, as the Father knoweth Me, and I know the Father: and I lay down My life for My sheep. And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.

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:
