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.

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios

2 Cor 10:17-18; 11:1-2

Fratres: Qui gloriátur, in Dómino gloriétur. Non enim, qui seípsum comméndat, ille probátus est; sed quem Deus comméndat. Utinam sustinerétis módicum quid insipiéntiæ meæ, sed et supportáte me: æmulor enim vos Dei æmulatióne. Despóndi enim vos uni viro vírginem castam exhibére Christo.

Lesson from the second letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians

2 Cor 10:17-18; 11:1-2

Brothers: He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. For not he who commendeth himself, is approved, but he, whom God commendeth. Would to God you could bear with some little of my folly: but do bear with me. For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God. For I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 25:1-13

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Símile erit regnum coelórum decem virgínibus: quæ, accipiéntes lámpades suas, exiérunt óbviam sponso et sponsæ. Quinque autem ex eis erant fátuæ, et quinque prudéntes: ¶ sed quinque fátuæ, accéptis lampádibus, non sumpsérunt óleum secum: prudéntes vero accepérunt óleum in vasis suis cum lampádibus. Moram autem faciénte sponso, dormitavérunt omnes et dormiérunt. Média autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce, sponsus venit, exíte óbviam ei. Tunc surrexérunt omnes vírgines íllæ, et ornavérunt lámpades suas. Fátuæ autem sapiéntibus dixérunt: Date nobis de óleo vestro: quia lámpades nostræ exstinguúntur. Respondérunt prudéntes, dicéntes: Ne forte non suffíciat nobis et vobis, ite pótius ad vendéntes, et émite vobis. Dum autem irent émere, venit sponsus: et quæ parátæ erant, intravérunt cum eo ad núptias, et clausa est jánua. Novíssime vero véniunt et réliquæ vírgines, dicéntes: Dómine, Dómine, áperi nobis. At ille respóndens, ait: Amen, dico vobis, néscio vos. Vigiláte ítaque, quia nescítis diem neque horam.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 25:1-13.

At that time Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: “Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride. Five of them were foolish and five wise. But the five foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, while the wise did take oil in their vessels with the lamps. Then as the bridegroom was long in coming, they all became drowsy and slept. And at midnight a cry arose, 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming, go forth to meet him!' Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' The wise answered, saying, 'Lest there may not be enough for us and for you, go rather to those who sell it, and buy some for yourselves.' Now while they were gone to buy it, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Finally there came also the other virgins, who said, 'Sir, sir, open the door for us!' But he answered and said, 'Amen I say to you, I do not know you.' Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

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:
