    Wednesday of the Fifth Week of Easter

    Lectionary: 287

    Reading 1

    Some who had come down from Judea were instructing the brothers,
    “Unless you are circumcised according to the Mosaic practice,
    you cannot be saved.”
    Because there arose no little dissension and debate
    by Paul and Barnabas with them,
    it was decided that Paul, Barnabas, and some of the others
    should go up to Jerusalem to the Apostles and presbyters
    about this question.
    They were sent on their journey by the Church,
    and passed through Phoenicia and Samaria
    telling of the conversion of the Gentiles,
    and brought great joy to all the brethren.
    When they arrived in Jerusalem,
    they were welcomed by the Church,
    as well as by the Apostles and the presbyters,
    and they reported what God had done with them.
    But some from the party of the Pharisees who had become believers
    stood up and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them
    and direct them to observe the Mosaic law.”

    The Apostles and the presbyters met together to see about this matter.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (see 1) Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    I rejoiced because they said to me,
    “We will go up to the house of the LORD.”
    And now we have set foot
    within your gates, O Jerusalem.
    R. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Jerusalem, built as a city
    with compact unity.
    To it the tribes go up,
    the tribes of the LORD.
    R. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    According to the decree for Israel,
    to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
    In it are set up judgment seats,
    seats for the house of David.
    R. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    Remain in me, as I remain in you, says the Lord;
    whoever remains in me will bear much fruit.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    Jesus said to his disciples:
    “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower.
    He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit,
    and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit.
    You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you.
    Remain in me, as I remain in you.
    Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own
    unless it remains on the vine,
    so neither can you unless you remain in me.
    I am the vine, you are the branches.
    Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit,
    because without me you can do nothing.
    Anyone who does not remain in me
    will be thrown out like a branch and wither;
    people will gather them and throw them into a fire
    and they will be burned.
    If you remain in me and my words remain in you,
    ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.
    By this is my Father glorified,
    that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.”

    Memorial of Saint Athanasius, Bishop and Doctor of the Church

    Lectionary: 288

    Reading 1

    After much debate had taken place,
    Peter got up and said to the Apostles and the presbyters,
    “My brothers, you are well aware that from early days
    God made his choice among you that through my mouth
    the Gentiles would hear the word of the Gospel and believe.
    And God, who knows the heart,
    bore witness by granting them the Holy Spirit
    just as he did us.
    He made no distinction between us and them,
    for by faith he purified their hearts.
    Why, then, are you now putting God to the test
    by placing on the shoulders of the disciples
    a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear?
    On the contrary, we believe that we are saved
    through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they.”
    The whole assembly fell silent,
    and they listened
    while Paul and Barnabas described the signs and wonders
    God had worked among the Gentiles through them.After they had fallen silent, James responded,
    “My brothers, listen to me.
    Symeon has described how God first concerned himself
    with acquiring from among the Gentiles a people for his name.
    The words of the prophets agree with this, as is written:

    After this I shall return
    and rebuild the fallen hut of David;
    from its ruins I shall rebuild it
    and raise it up again,
    so that the rest of humanity may seek out the Lord,
    even all the Gentiles on whom my name is invoked.
    Thus says the Lord who accomplishes these things,
    known from of old.

    It is my judgment, therefore,
    that we ought to stop troubling the Gentiles who turn to God,
    but tell them by letter to avoid pollution from idols,
    unlawful marriage, the meat of strangled animals, and blood.
    For Moses, for generations now,
    has had those who proclaim him in every town,
    as he has been read in the synagogues every sabbath.”

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (3) Proclaim God’s marvelous deeds to all the nations.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Sing to the LORD a new song;
    sing to the LORD, all you lands.
    Sing to the LORD; bless his name.
    R. Proclaim God’s marvelous deeds to all the nations.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Announce his salvation, day after day.
    Tell his glory among the nations;
    among all peoples, his wondrous deeds.
    R. Proclaim God’s marvelous deeds to all the nations.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Say among the nations: The LORD is king.
    He has made the world firm, not to be moved;
    he governs the peoples with equity.
    R. Proclaim God’s marvelous deeds to all the nations.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    My sheep know my voice, says the Lord;
    I know them, and they follow me.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    Jesus said to his disciples:
    “As the Father loves me, so I also love you.
    Remain in my love.
    If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,
    just as I have kept my Father’s commandments
    and remain in his love.“I have told you this so that
    my joy might be in you and
    your joy might be complete.”

    Feast of Saints Philip and James, Apostles

    Lectionary: 561

    Reading 1

    I am reminding you, brothers and sisters,
    of the Gospel I preached to you,
    which you indeed received and in which you also stand.
    Through it you are also being saved,
    if you hold fast to the word I preached to you,
    unless you believed in vain.
    For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received:
    that Christ died for our sins
    in accordance with the Scriptures;
    that he was buried;
    that he was raised on the third day
    in accordance with the Scriptures;
    that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.
    After that, he appeared to more
    than five hundred brothers and sisters at once,
    most of whom are still living,
    though some have fallen asleep.
    After that he appeared to James,
    then to all the Apostles.
    Last of all, as to one born abnormally,
    he appeared to me.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (5) Their message goes out through all the earth.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    The heavens declare the glory of God;
    and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
    Day pours out the word to day;
    and night to night imparts knowledge.
    R. Their message goes out through all the earth.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Not a word nor a discourse
    whose voice is not heard;
    Through all the earth their voice resounds,
    and to the ends of the world, their message.
    R. Their message goes out through all the earth.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    I am the way, the truth, and the life, says the Lord;
    Philip, whoever has seen me has seen the Father.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    Jesus said to Thomas, "I am the way and the truth and the life.
    No one comes to the Father except through me.
    If you know me, then you will also know my Father.
    From now on you do know him and have seen him."
    Philip said to him,
    "Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."
    Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you for so long a time
    and you still do not know me, Philip?
    Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.
    How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
    Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
    The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own.
    The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.
    Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me,
    or else, believe because of the works themselves.
    Amen, amen, I say to you,
    whoever believes in me will do the works that I do,
    and will do greater ones than these,
    because I am going to the Father.
    And whatever you ask in my name, I will do,
    so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
    If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it."

    Third Sunday of Easter

    Lectionary: 48

    When the captain and the court officers had brought the apostles in
    and made them stand before the Sanhedrin,
    the high priest questioned them,
    "We gave you strict orders, did we not,
    to stop teaching in that name?
    Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching
    and want to bring this man's blood upon us."
    But Peter and the apostles said in reply,
    "We must obey God rather than men.
    The God of our ancestors raised Jesus,
    though you had him killed by hanging him on a tree.
    God exalted him at his right hand as leader and savior
    to grant Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
    We are witnesses of these things,
    as is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him."

    The Sanhedrin ordered the apostles
    to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.
    So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin,
    rejoicing that they had been found worthy
    to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (2a) I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    I will extol you, O LORD, for you drew me clear
    and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
    O LORD, you brought me up from the netherworld;
    you preserved me from among those going down into the pit.
    R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones,
    and give thanks to his holy name.
    For his anger lasts but a moment;
    a lifetime, his good will.
    At nightfall, weeping enters in,
    but with the dawn, rejoicing.
    R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me;
    O LORD, be my helper.
    You changed my mourning into dancing;
    O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks.
    R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.

    Reading 2

    I, John, looked and heard the voices of many angels
    who surrounded the throne
    and the living creatures and the elders.
    They were countless in number, and they cried out in a loud voice:
    "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
    to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength,
    honor and glory and blessing."
    Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth
    and under the earth and in the sea,
    everything in the universe, cry out:
    "To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
    be blessing and honor, glory and might,
    forever and ever."
    The four living creatures answered, "Amen, "
    and the elders fell down and worshiped.

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    Christ is risen, creator of all;
    he has shown pity on all people.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    At that time, Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias.
    He revealed himself in this way.
    Together were Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus,
    Nathanael from Cana in Galilee,
    Zebedee's sons, and two others of his disciples.
    Simon Peter said to them, ""I am going fishing.""
    They said to him, ""We also will come with you.""
    So they went out and got into the boat,
    but that night they caught nothing.
    When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore;
    but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
    Jesus said to them, ""Children, have you caught anything to eat?""
    They answered him, ""No.""
    So he said to them, ""Cast the net over the right side of the boat
    and you will find something.""
    So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in
    because of the number of fish.
    So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, ""It is the Lord.""
    When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord,
    he tucked in his garment, for he was lightly clad,
    and jumped into the sea.
    The other disciples came in the boat,
    for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards,
    dragging the net with the fish.
    When they climbed out on shore,
    they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread.
    Jesus said to them, ""Bring some of the fish you just caught.""
    So Simon Peter went over and dragged the net ashore
    full of one hundred fifty-three large fish.
    Even though there were so many, the net was not torn.
    Jesus said to them, ""Come, have breakfast.""
    And none of the disciples dared to ask him, ""Who are you?""
    because they realized it was the Lord.
    Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them,
    and in like manner the fish.
    This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples
    after being raised from the dead.
    When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,
    ""Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?""
    Simon Peter answered him, ""Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.""
    Jesus said to him, ""Feed my lambs.""
    He then said to Simon Peter a second time,
    ""Simon, son of John, do you love me?""
    Simon Peter answered him, ""Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.""
    Jesus said to him, ""Tend my sheep.""
    Jesus said to him the third time,
    ""Simon, son of John, do you love me?""
    Peter was distressed that Jesus had said to him a third time,
    ""Do you love me?"" and he said to him,
    ""Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.""
    Jesus said to him, ""Feed my sheep.
    Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger,
    you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted;
    but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands,
    and someone else will dress you
    and lead you where you do not want to go.""
    He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God.
    And when he had said this, he said to him, ""Follow me.""

    At that time, Jesus revealed himself to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias.
    He revealed himself in this way.
    Together were Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus,
    Nathanael from Cana in Galilee,
    Zebedee's sons, and two others of his disciples.
    Simon Peter said to them, ""I am going fishing.""
    They said to him, ""We also will come with you.""
    So they went out and got into the boat,
    but that night they caught nothing.
    When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore;
    but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
    Jesus said to them, ""Children, have you caught anything to eat?""
    They answered him, ""No.""
    So he said to them, ""Cast the net over the right side of the boat
    and you will find something.""
    So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in
    because of the number of fish.
    So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, ""It is the Lord.""

    Sixth Sunday of Easter

    Lectionary: 56

    When Peter entered, Cornelius met him
    and, falling at his feet, paid him homage.
    Peter, however, raised him up, saying,
    "Get up. I myself am also a human being."Then Peter proceeded to speak and said,
    "In truth, I see that God shows no partiality.
    Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly
    is acceptable to him."

    While Peter was still speaking these things,
    the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the word.
    The circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter
    were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit
    should have been poured out on the Gentiles also,
    for they could hear them speaking in tongues and glorifying God.
    Then Peter responded,
    "Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people,
    who have received the Holy Spirit even as we have?"
    He ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

    Reading 2

    Beloved, let us love one another,
    because love is of God;
    everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God.
    Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love.
    In this way the love of God was revealed to us:
    God sent his only Son into the world
    so that we might have life through him.
    In this is love:
    not that we have loved God, but that he loved us
    and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    Whoever loves me will keep my word, says the Lord,
    and my Father will love him and we will come to him.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    Jesus said to his disciples:
    "As the Father loves me, so I also love you.
    Remain in my love.
    If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,
    just as I have kept my Father's commandments
    and remain in his love."I have told you this so that my joy may be in you
    and your joy might be complete.
    This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.
    No one has greater love than this,
    to lay down one's life for one's friends.
    You are my friends if you do what I command you.
    I no longer call you slaves,
    because a slave does not know what his master is doing.
    I have called you friends,
    because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.
    It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you
    and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain,
    so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.
    This I command you: love one another."

    Reading 1

    We set sail from Troas, making a straight run for Samothrace,
    and on the next day to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi,
    a leading city in that district of Macedonia and a Roman colony.
    We spent some time in that city.
    On the sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river
    where we thought there would be a place of prayer.
    We sat and spoke with the women who had gathered there.
    One of them, a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth,
    from the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, listened,
    and the Lord opened her heart to pay attention
    to what Paul was saying.
    After she and her household had been baptized,
    she offered us an invitation,
    "If you consider me a believer in the Lord,
    come and stay at my home," and she prevailed on us.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (see 4a) The Lord takes delight in his people.

    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Let them praise his name in the festive dance,
    let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.

    And you also testify,
    because you have been with me from the beginning."I have told you this so that you may not fall away.
    They will expel you from the synagogues;
    in fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you
    will think he is offering worship to God.
    They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me.
    I have told you this so that when their hour comes
    you may remember that I told you."

    Lectionary: 292

    Reading 1

    The crowd in Philippi joined in the attack on Paul and Silas,
    and the magistrates had them stripped
    and ordered them to be beaten with rods.
    After inflicting many blows on them,
    they threw them into prison
    and instructed the jailer to guard them securely.
    When he received these instructions, he put them in the innermost cell
    and secured their feet to a stake.About midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying
    and singing hymns to God as the prisoners listened,
    there was suddenly such a severe earthquake
    that the foundations of the jail shook;
    all the doors flew open, and the chains of all were pulled loose.
    When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open,
    he drew his sword and was about to kill himself,
    thinking that the prisoners had escaped.
    But Paul shouted out in a loud voice,
    "Do no harm to yourself; we are all here."
    He asked for a light and rushed in and,
    trembling with fear, he fell down before Paul and Silas.
    Then he brought them out and said,
    "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
    And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus
    and you and your household will be saved."
    So they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.
    He took them in at that hour of the night and bathed their wounds;
    then he and all his family were baptized at once.
    He brought them up into his house and provided a meal
    and with his household rejoiced at having come to faith in God.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (7c) Your right hand saves me, O Lord.

    in the presence of the angels I will sing your praise;
    I will worship at your holy temple,
    and give thanks to your name.
    R. Your right hand saves me, O Lord.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Because of your kindness and your truth,
    you have made great above all things
    your name and your promise.
    When I called, you answered me;
    you built up strength within me.
    R. Your right hand saves me, O Lord.
    or:

    Jesus said to his disciples:

    and not one of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'
    But because I told you this, grief has filled your hearts.
    But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go.
    For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you.
    But if I go, I will send him to you.
    And when he comes he will convict the world
    in regard to sin and righteousness and condemnation:
    sin, because they do not believe in me;
    righteousness, because I am going to the Father
    and you will no longer see me;
    condemnation, because the ruler of this world has been condemned."

    Wednesday of the Sixth Week of Easter

    Lectionary: 293

    After Paul's escorts had taken him to Athens,
    they came away with instructions for Silas and Timothy
    to join him as soon as possible.

    Then Paul stood up at the Areopagus and said:
    "You Athenians, I see that in every respect
    you are very religious.
    For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines,
    I even discovered an altar inscribed, 'To an Unknown God.'
    What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you.
    The God who made the world and all that is in it,
    the Lord of heaven and earth,
    does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands,
    nor is he served by human hands because he needs anything.
    Rather it is he who gives to everyone life and breath and everything.
    He made from one the whole human race
    to dwell on the entire surface of the earth,
    and he fixed the ordered seasons and the boundaries of their regions,
    so that people might seek God,
    even perhaps grope for him and find him,
    though indeed he is not far from any one of us.
    For 'In him we live and move and have our being,'
    as even some of your poets have said,
    'For we too are his offspring.'
    Since therefore we are the offspring of God,
    we ought not to think that the divinity is like an image
    fashioned from gold, silver, or stone by human art and imagination.
    God has overlooked the times of ignorance,
    but now he demands that all people everywhere repent
    because he has established a day on which he will 'judge the world
    with justice' through a man he has appointed,
    and he has provided confirmation for all
    by raising him from the dead."

    When they heard about resurrection of the dead,
    some began to scoff, but others said,
    "We should like to hear you on this some other time."
    And so Paul left them.
    But some did join him, and became believers.
    Among them were Dionysius,
    a member of the Court of the Areopagus,
    a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

    After this he left Athens and went to Corinth.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Praise the LORD from the heavens;
    praise him in the heights.
    Praise him, all you his angels;
    praise him, all you his hosts.
    R. Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Let the kings of the earth and all peoples,
    the princes and all the judges of the earth,
    Young men too, and maidens,
    old men and boys.
    R. Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Praise the name of the LORD,
    for his name alone is exalted;
    His majesty is above earth and heaven.
    R. Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    He has lifted up the horn of his people;
    Be this his praise from all his faithful ones,
    from the children of Israel, the people close to him.
    Alleluia.
    R. Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    I will ask the Father
    and he will give you another Advocate
    to be with you always.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    Jesus said to his disciples:
    "I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.
    But when he comes, the Spirit of truth,
    he will guide you to all truth.
    He will not speak on his own,
    but he will speak what he hears,
    and will declare to you the things that are coming.
    He will glorify me,
    because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.
    Everything that the Father has is mine;
    for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine
    and declare it to you."

    Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord

    Lectionary: 58

    Reading I

    In the first book, Theophilus,
    I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught
    until the day he was taken up,
    after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit
    to the apostles whom he had chosen.
    He presented himself alive to them
    by many proofs after he had suffered,
    appearing to them during forty days
    and speaking about the kingdom of God.
    While meeting with them,
    he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem,
    but to wait for “the promise of the Father
    about which you have heard me speak;
    for John baptized with water,
    but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

    When they had gathered together they asked him,
    “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
    He answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons
    that the Father has established by his own authority.
    But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you,
    and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem,
    throughout Judea and Samaria,
    and to the ends of the earth.”
    When he had said this, as they were looking on,
    he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
    While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going,
    suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them.
    They said, “Men of Galilee,
    why are you standing there looking at the sky?
    This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven
    will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.”

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (6) God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    All you peoples, clap your hands,
    shout to God with cries of gladness,
    For the LORD, the Most High, the awesome,
    is the great king over all the earth.
    R. God mounts his throne to shouts of joy:  a blare of trumpets for the Lord.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    God mounts his throne amid shouts of joy;
    the LORD, amid trumpet blasts.
    Sing praise to God, sing praise;
    sing praise to our king, sing praise.
    R. God mounts his throne to shouts of joy:  a blare of trumpets for the Lord.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    For king of all the earth is God;
    sing hymns of praise.
    God reigns over the nations,
    God sits upon his holy throne.
    R. God mounts his throne to shouts of joy:  a blare of trumpets for the Lord.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.

    Reading II

    Brothers and sisters:
    May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
    give you a Spirit of wisdom and revelation
    resulting in knowledge of him.
    May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened,
    that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call,
    what are the riches of glory
    in his inheritance among the holy ones,
    and what is the surpassing greatness of his power
    for us who believe,
    in accord with the exercise of his great might,
    which he worked in Christ,
    raising him from the dead
    and seating him at his right hand in the heavens,
    far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion,
    and every name that is named
    not only in this age but also in the one to come.
    And he put all things beneath his feet
    and gave him as head over all things to the church,
    which is his body,
    the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.

    OR:

    Eph 4:1-13 or 4:1-7, 11-13

    Brothers and sisters,
    I, a prisoner for the Lord,
    urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received,
    with all humility and gentleness, with patience,
    bearing with one another through love,
    striving to preserve the unity of the spirit
    through the bond of peace:
    one body and one Spirit,
    as you were also called to the one hope of your call;
    one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
    one God and Father of all,
    who is over all and through all and in all.

    But grace was given to each of us
    according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
    Therefore, it says:
    He ascended on high and took prisoners captive;
    he gave gifts to men.

    What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended
    into the lower regions of the earth?
    The one who descended is also the one who ascended
    far above all the heavens,
    that he might fill all things.

    And he gave some as apostles, others as prophets,
    others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers,
    to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry,
    for building up the body of Christ,
    until we all attain to the unity of faith
    and knowledge of the Son of God, to mature to manhood,
    to the extent of the full stature of Christ.

    OR:

    Brothers and sisters,
    I, a prisoner for the Lord,

    to the extent of the full stature of Christ.

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    Go and teach all nations, says the Lord;
    I am with you always, until the end of the world.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    Jesus said to his disciples:
    “Go into the whole world
    and proclaim the gospel to every creature.
    Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved;
    whoever does not believe will be condemned.
    These signs will accompany those who believe:
    in my name they will drive out demons,
    they will speak new languages.
    They will pick up serpents with their hands,
    and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them.
    They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

    So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them,
    was taken up into heaven
    and took his seat at the right hand of God.
    But they went forth and preached everywhere,
    while the Lord worked with them
    and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.

    Reading 1

    One night while Paul was in Corinth, the Lord said to him in a vision,
    "Do not be afraid.
    Go on speaking, and do not be silent, for I am with you.
    No one will attack and harm you,
    for I have many people in this city."
    He settled there for a year and a half
    and taught the word of God among them.

    But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia,
    the Jews rose up together against Paul
    and brought him to the tribunal, saying,
    "This man is inducing people to worship God contrary to the law."
    When Paul was about to reply, Gallio spoke to the Jews,
    "If it were a matter of some crime or malicious fraud,
    I should with reason hear the complaint of you Jews;
    but since it is a question of arguments over doctrine and titles
    and your own law, see to it yourselves.
    I do not wish to be a judge of such matters."
    And he drove them away from the tribunal.
    They all seized Sosthenes, the synagogue official,
    and beat him in full view of the tribunal.
    But none of this was of concern to Gallio.

    Paul remained for quite some time,
    and after saying farewell to the brothers he sailed for Syria,
    together with Priscilla and Aquila.
    At Cenchreae he had shaved his head because he had taken a vow.

    Jesus said to his disciples:

    while the world rejoices;
    you will grieve, but your grief will become joy.
    When a woman is in labor, she is in anguish because her hour has arrived;
    but when she has given birth to a child,
    she no longer remembers the pain because of her joy
    that a child has been born into the world.
    So you also are now in anguish.
    But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice,
    and no one will take your joy away from you.
    On that day you will not question me about anything.
    Amen, amen, I say to you,
    whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you."

    Reading 1

    After staying in Antioch some time,
    Paul left and traveled in orderly sequence
    through the Galatian country and Phrygia,
    bringing strength to all the disciples.

    A Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria,
    an eloquent speaker, arrived in Ephesus.
    He was an authority on the Scriptures.
    He had been instructed in the Way of the Lord and,
    with ardent spirit, spoke and taught accurately about Jesus,
    although he knew only the baptism of John.
    He began to speak boldly in the synagogue;
    but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him,
    they took him aside
    and explained to him the Way of God more accurately.
    And when he wanted to cross to Achaia,
    the brothers encouraged him
    and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him.
    After his arrival he gave great assistance
    to those who had come to believe through grace.
    He vigorously refuted the Jews in public,
    establishing from the Scriptures that the Christ is Jesus.

    “I have told you this in figures of speech.
    The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures
    but I will tell you clearly about the Father.
    On that day you will ask in my name,
    and I do not tell you that I will ask the Father for you.

    Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”

    Thursday of the Fourth Week of Easter
    Lectionary: 282

    Reading I
    Acts 13:13-25
    From Paphos, Paul and his companions
    set sail and arrived at Perga in Pamphylia.
    But John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
    They continued on from Perga and reached Antioch in Pisidia.
    On the sabbath they entered into the synagogue and took their seats.
    After the reading of the law and the prophets,
    the synagogue officials sent word to them,
    “My brothers, if one of you has a word of exhortation
    for the people, please speak.”

    So Paul got up, motioned with his hand, and said,
    “Fellow children of Israel and you others who are God-fearing, listen.
    The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors
    and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt.
    With uplifted arm he led them out,
    and for about forty years he put up with them in the desert.
    When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan,
    he gave them their land as an inheritance
    at the end of about four hundred and fifty years.
    After these things he provided judges up to Samuel the prophet.
    Then they asked for a king.
    God gave them Saul, son of Kish,
    a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
    Then he removed him and raised up David as their king;
    of him he testified,
    I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart;
    he will carry out my every wish.
    From this man’s descendants God, according to his promise,
    has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus.
    John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance
    to all the people of Israel;
    and as John was completing his course, he would say,
    ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he.
    Behold, one is coming after me;
    I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.’"

    Responsorial Psalm
    89:2-3, 21-22, 25 and 27
    R. (2) For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    The favors of the LORD I will sing forever;
    through all generations my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness.
    For you have said, “My kindness is established forever”;
    in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness.
    R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    “I have found David, my servant;
    with my holy oil I have anointed him,
    That my hand may be always with him,
    and that my arm may make him strong.”
    R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    “My faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him,
    and through my name shall his horn be exalted.
    He shall say of me, ‘You are my father,
    my God, the Rock, my savior.’”
    R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.

    Alleluia
    See Rv 1:5ab
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    Jesus Christ, you are the faithful witness,
    the firstborn of the dead,
    you have loved us and freed us from our sins by your Blood.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel
    Jn 13:16-20
    When Jesus had washed the disciples’ feet, he said to them:
    “Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master
    nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him.
    If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it.
    I am not speaking of all of you.
    I know those whom I have chosen.
    But so that the Scripture might be fulfilled,
    The one who ate my food has raised his heel against me.
    From now on I am telling you before it happens,
    so that when it happens you may believe that I AM.
    Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send
    receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”

    Acts 13:26-33
    When Paul came to Antioch in Pisidia, he said in the synagogue:
    “My brothers, children of the family of Abraham,
    and those others among you who are God-fearing,
    to us this word of salvation has been sent.
    The inhabitants of Jerusalem and their leaders failed to recognize him,
    and by condemning him they fulfilled the oracles of the prophets
    that are read sabbath after sabbath.
    For even though they found no grounds for a death sentence,
    they asked Pilate to have him put to death,
    and when they had accomplished all that was written about him,
    they took him down from the tree and placed him in a tomb.
    But God raised him from the dead,
    and for many days he appeared to those
    who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem.
    These are now his witnesses before the people.
    We ourselves are proclaiming this good news to you
    that what God promised our fathers
    he has brought to fulfillment for us, their children, by raising up Jesus,
    as it is written in the second psalm,
    You are my Son; this day I have begotten you.”

    R. You are my Son; this day I have begotten you.
    or:

    “Ask of me and I will give you
    the nations for an inheritance
    and the ends of the earth for your possession.
    You shall rule them with an iron rod;

    Jn 14:1-6
    Jesus said to his disciples:
    “Do not let your hearts be troubled.
    You have faith in God; have faith also in me.
    In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.
    If there were not,
    would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
    And if I go and prepare a place for you,
    I will come back again and take you to myself,
    so that where I am you also may be.
    Where I am going you know the way.”
    Thomas said to him,
    “Master, we do not know where you are going;
    how can we know the way?”

    Lectionary: 564

    Reading I
    Acts 1:15-17, 20-26
    Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers and sisters
    (there was a group of about one hundred and twenty persons
    in the one place).
    He said, “My brothers and sisters,
    the Scripture had to be fulfilled
    which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand
    through the mouth of David, concerning Judas,
    who was the guide for those who arrested Jesus.
    Judas was numbered among us
    and was allotted a share in this ministry.
    For it is written in the Book of Psalms:
    Let his encampment become desolate,
    and may no one dwell in it.
    and:
    May another take his office.

    Therefore, it is necessary that one of the men
    who accompanied us the whole time
    the Lord Jesus came and went among us,
    beginning from the baptism of John
    until the day on which he was taken up from us,
    become with us a witness to his resurrection.”
    So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas,
    who was also known as Justus, and Matthias.
    Then they prayed,
    “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all,
    show which one of these two you have chosen
    to take the place in this apostolic ministry
    from which Judas turned away to go to his own place.”
    Then they gave lots to them, and the lot fell upon Matthias,
    and he was counted with the Eleven Apostles.

    Remain in my love.
    If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,
    just as I have kept my Father’s commandments
    and remain in his love.

    “I have told you this so that my joy might be in you
    and your joy might be complete.
    This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.
    No one has greater love than this,
    to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
    You are my friends if you do what I command you.
    I no longer call you slaves,
    because a slave does not know what his master is doing.
    I have called you friends,
    because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.
    It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you
    and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain,
    so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.
    This I command you: love one another.”

    After Paul and Barnabas had proclaimed the good news

    and made a considerable number of disciples,
    they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch.
    They strengthened the spirits of the disciples
    and exhorted them to persevere in the faith, saying,
    “It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships
    to enter the kingdom of God.”
    They appointed elders for them in each church and,
    with prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord
    in whom they had put their faith.
    Then they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.
    After proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia.
    From there they sailed to Antioch,
    where they had been commended to the grace of God
    for the work they had now accomplished.
    And when they arrived, they called the church together

    Thursday of the Seventh Week of Easter

    Lectionary: 300

    Wishing to determine the truth
    about why Paul was being accused by the Jews,
    the commander freed him
    and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to convene.
    Then he brought Paul down and made him stand before them.

    Paul was aware that some were Sadducees and some Pharisees,
    so he called out before the Sanhedrin,
    "My brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees;
    I am on trial for hope in the resurrection of the dead."
    When he said this,
    a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees,
    and the group became divided.
    For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection
    or angels or spirits,
    while the Pharisees acknowledge all three.
    A great uproar occurred,
    and some scribes belonging to the Pharisee party
    stood up and sharply argued,
    "We find nothing wrong with this man.
    Suppose a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?"
    The dispute was so serious that the commander,
    afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces by them,
    ordered his troops to go down and rescue Paul from their midst
    and take him into the compound.
    The following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage.
    For just as you have borne witness to my cause in Jerusalem,
    so you must also bear witness in Rome."

    Gospel

    Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed saying:
    "I pray not only for these,
    but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
    so that they may all be one,
    as you, Father, are in me and I in you,
    that they also may be in us,
    that the world may believe that you sent me.
    And I have given them the glory you gave me,
    so that they may be one, as we are one,
    I in them and you in me,
    that they may be brought to perfection as one,
    that the world may know that you sent me,
    and that you loved them even as you loved me.
    Father, they are your gift to me.
    I wish that where I am they also may be with me,
    that they may see my glory that you gave me,
    because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
    Righteous Father, the world also does not know you,
    but I know you, and they know that you sent me.
    I made known to them your name and I will make it known,
    that the love with which you loved me
    may be in them and I in them."

    Reading I
    Acts 14:19-28
    In those days, some Jews from Antioch and Iconium
    arrived and won over the crowds.
    They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city,
    supposing that he was dead.
    But when the disciples gathered around him,
    he got up and entered the city.
    On the following day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

    After they had proclaimed the good news to that city
    and made a considerable number of disciples,
    they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch.
    They strengthened the spirits of the disciples
    and exhorted them to persevere in the faith, saying,
    “It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships
    to enter the Kingdom of God.”
    They appointed presbyters for them in each Church and,
    with prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord
    in whom they had put their faith.
    Then they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.
    After proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia.
    From there they sailed to Antioch,
    where they had been commended to the grace of God
    for the work they had now accomplished.
    And when they arrived, they called the Church together
    and reported what God had done with them
    and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
    Then they spent no little time with the disciples.

    Responsorial Psalm
    145:10-11, 12-13ab, 21
    R. (see 12) Your friends make known, O Lord, the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
    or:

    Let all your works give you thanks, O LORD,
    and let your faithful ones bless you.
    Let them discourse of the glory of your kingdom
    and speak of your might.
    R. Your friends make known, O Lord, the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Making known to men your might
    and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
    Your kingdom is a kingdom for all ages,
    and your dominion endures through all generations.
    R. Your friends make known, O Lord, the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

    Gospel
    Jn 14:27-31a
    Jesus said to his disciples:
    “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
    Not as the world gives do I give it to you.
    Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
    You heard me tell you,
    ‘I am going away and I will come back to you.’
    If you loved me,
    you would rejoice that I am going to the Father;
    for the Father is greater than I.
    And now I have told you this before it happens,
    so that when it happens you may believe.
    I will no longer speak much with you,
    for the ruler of the world is coming.
    He has no power over me,
    but the world must know that I love the Father
    and that I do just as the Father has commanded me.”

    Saturday of the Seventh Week of Easter - Mass in the Morning

    Lectionary: 302

    When he entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself,
    with the soldier who was guarding him.Three days later he called together the leaders of the Jews.
    When they had gathered he said to them, "My brothers,
    although I had done nothing against our people
    or our ancestral customs,
    I was handed over to the Romans as a prisoner from Jerusalem.
    After trying my case the Romans wanted to release me,
    because they found nothing against me deserving the death penalty.
    But when the Jews objected, I was obliged to appeal to Caesar,
    even though I had no accusation to make against my own nation.
    This is the reason, then, I have requested to see you
    and to speak with you, for it is on account of the hope of Israel
    that I wear these chains."

    He remained for two full years in his lodgings.
    He received all who came to him, and with complete assurance
    and without hindrance he proclaimed the Kingdom of God
    and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (see 7b) The just will gaze on your face, O Lord.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    The LORD is in his holy temple;

    His eyes behold,
    his searching glance is on mankind.
    R. The just will gaze on your face, O Lord.
    or:

    The LORD searches the just and the wicked;
    the lover of violence he hates.
    For the LORD is just, he loves just deeds;
    the upright shall see his face.

    Gospel

    Peter turned and saw the disciple following whom Jesus loved,
    the one who had also reclined upon his chest during the supper
    and had said, "Master, who is the one who will betray you?"
    When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"
    Jesus said to him, "What if I want him to remain until I come?
    What concern is it of yours?
    You follow me."
    So the word spread among the brothers that that disciple would not die.
    But Jesus had not told him that he would not die,
    just "What if I want him to remain until I come?
    What concern is it of yours?"It is this disciple who testifies to these things
    and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true.
    There are also many other things that Jesus did,
    but if these were to be described individually,
    I do not think the whole world would contain the books
    that would be written.

    Pentecost Sunday - Mass during the Day

    Lectionary: 63

    Reading 1

    When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled,
    they were all in one place together.
    And suddenly there came from the sky
    a noise like a strong driving wind,
    and it filled the entire house in which they were.
    Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire,
    which parted and came to rest on each one of them.
    And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit
    and began to speak in different tongues,
    as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem.
    At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd,
    but they were confused
    because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
    They were astounded, and in amazement they asked,
    "Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans?
    Then how does each of us hear them in his native language?
    We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites,
    inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia,
    Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia,
    Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene,
    as well as travelers from Rome,
    both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs,
    yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues
    of the mighty acts of God."

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (cf. 30) Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Bless the LORD, O my soul!
    O LORD, my God, you are great indeed!
    How manifold are your works, O LORD!
    the earth is full of your creatures;
    R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    May the glory of the LORD endure forever;
    may the LORD be glad in his works!
    Pleasing to him be my theme;
    I will be glad in the LORD.
    R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    If you take away their breath, they perish
    and return to their dust.
    When you send forth your spirit, they are created,
    and you renew the face of the earth.
    R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Brothers and sisters:
    No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit;
    there are different forms of service but the same Lord;
    there are different workings but the same God
    who produces all of them in everyone.
    To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit
    is given for some benefit.

    As a body is one though it has many parts,
    and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body,
    so also Christ.
    For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body,
    whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons,
    and we were all given to drink of one Spirit.

    or

    Brothers and sisters, live by the Spirit
    and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh.
    For the flesh has desires against the Spirit,
    and the Spirit against the flesh;
    these are opposed to each other,
    so that you may not do what you want.
    But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
    Now the works of the flesh are obvious:
    immorality, impurity, lust, idolatry,
    sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy,
    outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness,
    dissensions, factions, occasions of envy,
    drinking bouts, orgies, and the like.
    I warn you, as I warned you before,
    that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
    In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
    patience, kindness, generosity,
    faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
    Against such there is no law.
    Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their flesh
    with its passions and desires.
    If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.

    Sequence

    Veni, Sancte Spiritus

    Come, Holy Spirit, come!
    And from your celestial home
    Shed a ray of light divine!
    Come, Father of the poor!
    Come, source of all our store!
    Come, within our bosoms shine.
    You, of comforters the best;
    You, the soul's most welcome guest;
    Sweet refreshment here below;
    In our labor, rest most sweet;
    Grateful coolness in the heat;
    Solace in the midst of woe.
    O most blessed Light divine,
    Shine within these hearts of yours,
    And our inmost being fill!
    Where you are not, we have naught,
    Nothing good in deed or thought,
    Nothing free from taint of ill.
    Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
    On our dryness pour your 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.
    On the faithful, who adore
    And confess you, evermore
    In your sevenfold gift descend;
    Give them virtue's sure reward;
    Give them your salvation, Lord;
    Give them joys that never end. Amen.
    Alleluia.

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
    and kindle in them the fire of your love.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    On the evening of that first day of the week,
    when the doors were locked, where the disciples were,
    for fear of the Jews,
    Jesus came and stood in their midst
    and said to them, "Peace be with you."
    When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.
    The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
    Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you.
    As the Father has sent me, so I send you."
    And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,
    "Receive the Holy Spirit.
    Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,
    and whose sins you retain are retained."or

    Jesus said to his disciples:
    "When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father,
    the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father,
    he will testify to me.
    And you also testify,
    because you have been with me from the beginning."I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.
    But when he comes, the Spirit of truth,
    he will guide you to all truth.
    He will not speak on his own,
    but he will speak what he hears,
    and will declare to you the things that are coming.
    He will glorify me,
    because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.
    Everything that the Father has is mine;
    for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine
    and declare it to you."

    Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church

    Lectionary: 572

    Reading I

    After Adam had eaten of the tree,
    the LORD God called to him and asked him, “Where are you?”
    He answered, “I heard you in the garden;
    but I was afraid, because I was naked,
    so I hid myself.”
    Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked?
    You have eaten, then,
    from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat!”
    The man replied, “The woman whom you put here with me—
    she gave me fruit from the tree, and so I ate it.”
    The LORD God then asked the woman,
    “Why did you do such a thing?”
    The woman answered, “The serpent tricked me into it, so I ate it.”

    Then the LORD God said to the serpent:
    “Because you have done this, you shall be banned
    from all the animals
    and from all the wild creatures;
    On your belly shall you crawl,
    and dirt shall you eat
    all the days of your life.
    I will put enmity between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring and hers;
    He will strike at your head,
    while you strike at his heel.”
    The man called his wife Eve,
    because she became the mother of all the living.

    OR:

    Acts 1:12-14

    After Jesus had been taken up to heaven,
    the Apostles returned to Jerusalem
    from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem,
    a sabbath day’s journey away.

    When they entered the city
    they went to the upper room where they were staying,
    Peter and John and James and Andrew,
    Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew,
    James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot,
    and Judas son of James.
    All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer,
    together with some women,
    and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother
    and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas,
    and Mary of Magdala.
    When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved,
    he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.”
    Then he said to the disciple,
    “Behold, your mother.”
    And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
    After this, aware that everything was now finished,
    in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled,
    Jesus said, “I thirst.”
    There was a vessel filled with common wine.
    So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop
    and put it up to his mouth.
    When Jesus had taken the wine, he said,
    “It is finished.”
    And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.

    Now since it was preparation day,
    in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath,
    for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one,
    the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken
    and they be taken down.
    So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first
    and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus.
    But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead,
    they did not break his legs,
    but one soldier thrust his lance into his side,
    and immediately Blood and water flowed out.

    Jesus said, “I thirst.”
    There was a vessel filled with common wine.
    So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop
    and put it up to his mouth.
    When Jesus had taken the wine, he said,
    “It is finished.”
    And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.

    Now since it was preparation day,
    in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath,
    for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one,
    the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken
    and they be taken down.
    So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first
    and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus.
    But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead,
    they did not break his legs,
    but one soldier thrust his lance into his side,
    and immediately Blood and water flowed out.

    Reading 1

    Beloved:
    Come now, you who say,
    "Today or tomorrow we shall go into such and such a town,
    spend a year there doing business, and make a profit"–
    you have no idea what your life will be like tomorrow.
    You are a puff of smoke that appears briefly and then disappears.
    Instead you should say,
    "If the Lord wills it, we shall live to do this or that."
    But now you are boasting in your arrogance.
    All such boasting is evil.
    So for one who knows the right thing to do
    and does not do it, it is a sin.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (Matthew 5:3) Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs!
    Hear this, all you peoples;
    hearken, all who dwell in the world,
    Of lowly birth or high degree,
    rich and poor alike.
    R. Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs!
    Why should I fear in evil days
    when my wicked ensnarers ring me round?
    They trust in their wealth;
    the abundance of their riches is their boast.
    R. Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs!
    Yet in no way can a man redeem himself,
    or pay his own ransom to God;
    Too high is the price to redeem one's life; he would never have enough
    to remain alive always and not see destruction.
    R. Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs!
    For he can see that wise men die,
    and likewise the senseless and the stupid pass away,
    leaving to others their wealth.
    R. Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs!

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    I am the way and the truth and the life, says the Lord;
    no one comes to the Father except through me.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    John said to Jesus,
    "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name,
    and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us."
    Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him.
    There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name
    who can at the same time speak ill of me.
    For whoever is not against us is for us."

    Reading 1

    Come now, you rich, weep and wail over your impending miseries.
    Your wealth has rotted away, your clothes have become moth-eaten,
    your gold and silver have corroded,
    and that corrosion will be a testimony against you;
    it will devour your flesh like a fire.
    You have stored up treasure for the last days.
    Behold, the wages you withheld from the workers
    who harvested your fields are crying aloud;
    and the cries of the harvesters
    have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.
    You have lived on earth in luxury and pleasure;
    you have fattened your hearts for the day of slaughter.
    You have condemned;
    you have murdered the righteous one;
    he offers you no resistance.
    R. (Matthew 5:3) Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs!
    This is the way of those whose trust is folly,
    the end of those contented with their lot:
    Like sheep they are herded into the nether world;
    death is their shepherd and the upright rule over them.
    R. Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs!
    Quickly their form is consumed;
    the nether world is their palace.
    But God will redeem me
    from the power of the nether world by receiving me.
    R. Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs!
    Fear not when a man grows rich,
    when the wealth of his house becomes great,
    For when he dies, he shall take none of it;
    his wealth shall not follow him down.
    R. Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs!
    Though in his lifetime he counted himself blessed,
    "They will praise you for doing well for yourself,"
    He shall join the circle of his forebears
    who shall never more see light.
    R. Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs!

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    Receive the word of God, not as the word of men,
    but as it truly is, the word of God.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    Jesus said to his disciples:
    "Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink
    because you belong to Christ,
    amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward."Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,
    it would be better for him if a great millstone
    were put around his neck
    and he were thrown into the sea.
    If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.
    It is better for you to enter into life maimed
    than with two hands to go into Gehenna,
    into the unquenchable fire.
    And if your foot causes you to sin, cut if off.
    It is better for you to enter into life crippled
    than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna.
    And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out.
    Better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye
    than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna,
    where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.

    "Everyone will be salted with fire.
    Salt is good, but if salt becomes insipid,
    with what will you restore its flavor?
    Keep salt in yourselves and you will have peace with one another."

    Saturday of the Fifth Week of Easter

    Lectionary: 290

    Reading 1

    Paul reached also Derbe and Lystra
    where there was a disciple named Timothy,
    the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer,
    but his father was a Greek.
    The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke highly of him,
    and Paul wanted him to come along with him.
    On account of the Jews of that region, Paul had him circumcised,
    for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
    As they traveled from city to city,
    they handed on to the people for observance the decisions
    reached by the Apostles and presbyters in Jerusalem.
    Day after day the churches grew stronger in faith
    and increased in number.

    They traveled through the Phrygian and Galatian territory
    because they had been prevented by the Holy Spirit
    from preaching the message in the province of Asia.
    When they came to Mysia, they tried to go on into Bithynia,
    but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them,
    so they crossed through Mysia and came down to Troas.
    During the night Paul had a vision.
    A Macedonian stood before him and implored him with these words,
    "Come over to Macedonia and help us."
    When he had seen the vision,
    we sought passage to Macedonia at once,
    concluding that God had called us to proclaim the Good News to them.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (2a) Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
    serve the LORD with gladness;
    come before him with joyful song.
    R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Know that the LORD is God;
    he made us, his we are;
    his people, the flock he tends.
    R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    The LORD is good:
    his kindness endures forever,
    and his faithfulness, to all generations.
    R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    If then you were raised with Christ,
    seek what is above,
    where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    Jesus said to his disciples:
    "If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.
    If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own;
    but because you do not belong to the world,
    and I have chosen you out of the world,
    the world hates you.
    Remember the word I spoke to you,
    'No slave is greater than his master.'
    If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.
    If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
    And they will do all these things to you on account of my name,
    because they do not know the one who sent me."

    Beloved:
    Is anyone among you suffering?
    He should pray.
    Is anyone in good spirits?
    He should sing a song of praise.
    Is anyone among you sick?
    He should summon the presbyters of the Church,
    and they should pray over him
    and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
    The prayer of faith will save the sick person,
    and the Lord will raise him up.
    If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.Therefore, confess your sins to one another
    and pray for one another, that you may be healed.
    The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful.
    Elijah was a man like us;
    yet he prayed earnestly that it might not rain,
    and for three years and six months it did not rain upon the land.
    Then Elijah prayed again, and the sky gave rain
    and the earth produced its fruit.

    My brothers and sisters,
    if anyone among you should stray from the truth
    and someone bring him back,
    he should know that whoever brings back a sinner
    from the error of his way will save his soul from death
    and will cover a multitude of sins.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (2a) Let my prayer come like incense before you.
    O LORD, to you I call; hasten to me;
    hearken to my voice when I call upon you.
    Let my prayer come like incense before you;
    the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.
    R. Let my prayer come like incense before you.
    O LORD, set a watch before my mouth,
    a guard at the door of my lips.
    For toward you, O God, my LORD, my eyes are turned;
    in you I take refuge; strip me not of life.
    R. Let my prayer come like incense before you.

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth;

    People were bringing children to Jesus that he might touch them,
    but the disciples rebuked them.
    When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them,
    “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them,
    for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
    Amen, I say to you,
    whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God like a child
    will not enter it.”
    Then he embraced the children and blessed them,
    placing his hands on them.

    The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

    Lectionary: 165

    Reading 1

    Moses said to the people:
    "Ask now of the days of old, before your time,
    ever since God created man upon the earth;
    ask from one end of the sky to the other:
    Did anything so great ever happen before?
    Was it ever heard of?
    Did a people ever hear the voice of God
    speaking from the midst of fire, as you did, and live?
    Or did any god venture to go and take a nation for himself
    from the midst of another nation,
    by testings, by signs and wonders, by war,
    with strong hand and outstretched arm, and by great terrors,
    all of which the LORD, your God,
    did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
    This is why you must now know,
    and fix in your heart, that the LORD is God
    in the heavens above and on earth below,
    and that there is no other.
    You must keep his statutes and commandments that I enjoin on you today,
    that you and your children after you may prosper,
    and that you may have long life on the land
    which the LORD, your God, is giving you forever."

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (12b) Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
    Upright is the word of the LORD,
    and all his works are trustworthy.
    He loves justice and right;
    of the kindness of the Lord the earth is full.
    R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
    By the word of the LORD the heavens were made;
    by the breath of his mouth all their host.
    For he spoke, and it was made;
    he commanded, and it stood forth.
    R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
    See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him,
    upon those who hope for his kindness,
    To deliver them from death
    and preserve them in spite of famine.
    R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
    Our soul waits for the LORD,
    who is our help and our shield.
    May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us
    who have put our hope in you.
    R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.

    Reading 2

    Brothers and sisters:
    For those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
    For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,
    but you received a Spirit of adoption,
    through whom we cry, "Abba, Father!"
    The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit
    that we are children of God,
    and if children, then heirs,
    heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,
    if only we suffer with him
    so that we may also be glorified with him.

    Alleluia

    Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
    to God who is, who was, and who is to come.

    The eleven disciples went to Galilee,
    to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.
    When they all saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.
    Then Jesus approached and said to them,
    "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
    Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,
    baptizing them in the name of the Father,
    and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
    teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
    And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."

    Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
    who in his great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope
    through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
    to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading,
    kept in heaven for you
    who by the power of God are safeguarded through faith,
    to a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the final time.
    In this you rejoice, although now for a little while
    you may have to suffer through various trials,
    so that the genuineness of your faith,
    more precious than gold that is perishable even though tested by fire,
    may prove to be for praise, glory, and honor
    at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
    Although you have not seen him you love him;
    even though you do not see him now yet you believe in him,
    you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy,
    as you attain the goal of faith, the salvation of your souls.

    Gospel

    As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up,
    knelt down before him, and asked him,
    "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
    Jesus answered him, "Why do you call me good?
    No one is good but God alone.
    You know the commandments: You shall not kill;
    you shall not commit adultery;
    you shall not steal;
    you shall not bear false witness;
    you shall not defraud;
    honor your father and your mother."

    He replied and said to him,
    "Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth."
    Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him,
    "You are lacking in one thing.
    Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor
    and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me."
    At that statement, his face fell,
    and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.Jesus looked around and said to his disciples,
    "How hard it is for those who have wealth
    to enter the Kingdom of God!"
    The disciples were amazed at his words.
    So Jesus again said to them in reply,
    "Children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God!
    It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle
    than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God."
    They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves,
    "Then who can be saved?"
    Jesus looked at them and said,
    "For men it is impossible, but not for God.
    All things are possible for God."

    Beloved:
    Concerning the salvation of your souls
    the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours
    searched and investigated it
    investigating the time and circumstances
    that the Spirit of Christ within them indicated
    when it testified in advance
    to the sufferings destined for Christ
    and the glories to follow them.
    It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you
    with regard to the things that have now been announced to you
    by those who preached the Good News to you
    through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven,
    things into which angels longed to look.Therefore, gird up the loins of your mind, live soberly,
    and set your hopes completely on the grace to be brought to you
    at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
    Like obedient children,
    do not act in compliance with the desires of your former ignorance
    but, as he who called you is holy,
    be holy yourselves in every aspect of your conduct,
    for it is written, Be holy because I am holy.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (2a) The Lord has made known his salvation.
    Sing to the LORD a new song,
    for he has done wondrous deeds;
    His right hand has won victory for him,
    his holy arm.
    R. The Lord has made known his salvation.
    The LORD has made his salvation known:
    in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice.
    He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness
    toward the house of Israel.
    R. The Lord has made known his salvation.
    All the ends of the earth have seen
    the salvation by our God.
    Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
    break into song; sing praise.

    there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters
    or mother or father or children or lands
    for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel
    who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age:
    houses and brothers and sisters
    and mothers and children and lands,
    with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come.
    But many that are first will be last, and the last will be first."

    Beloved:
    Realize that you were ransomed from your futile conduct,
    handed on by your ancestors,
    not with perishable things like silver or gold
    but with the precious Blood of Christ
    as of a spotless unblemished Lamb.
    He was known before the foundation of the world
    but revealed in the final time for you,
    who through him believe in God
    who raised him from the dead and gave him glory,
    so that your faith and hope are in God.

    Since you have purified yourselves
    by obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love,
    love one another intensely from a pure heart.
    You have been born anew,
    not from perishable but from imperishable seed,
    through the living and abiding word of God, for:

    "All flesh is like grass,
    and all its glory like the flower of the field;
    the grass withers,
    and the flower wilts;
    but the word of the Lord remains forever."
    This is the word that has been proclaimed to you.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (12a) Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.

    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    He has granted peace in your borders;
    with the best of wheat he fills you.
    He sends forth his command to the earth;
    swiftly runs his word!
    R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    He has proclaimed his word to Jacob,
    his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
    He has not done thus for any other nation;
    his ordinances he has not made known to them. Alleluia.
    R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    The Son of Man came to serve,
    and to give his life as a ransom for many.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    The disciples were on the way, going up to Jerusalem,
    and Jesus went ahead of them.
    They were amazed, and those who followed were afraid.
    Taking the Twelve aside again, he began to tell them
    what was going to happen to him.
    "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man
    will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes,
    and they will condemn him to death
    and hand him over to the Gentiles who will mock him,
    spit upon him, scourge him, and put him to death,
    but after three days he will rise."

    Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee,
    came to Jesus and said to him,
    "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you."
    He replied, "What do you wish me to do for you?"
    They answered him,
    "Grant that in your glory
    we may sit one at your right and the other at your left."
    Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking.
    Can you drink the chalice that I drink
    or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"
    They said to him, "We can."
    Jesus said to them, "The chalice that I drink, you will drink,
    and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized;
    but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give
    but is for those for whom it has been prepared."
    When the ten heard this, they became indignant at James and John.
    Jesus summoned them and said to them,
    "You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles
    lord it over them,
    and their great ones make their authority over them felt.
    But it shall not be so among you.
    Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant;
    whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all.
    For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve
    and to give his life as a ransom for many."

    Reading 1

    Beloved:
    Like newborn infants, long for pure spiritual milk
    so that through it you may grow into salvation,
    for you have tasted that the Lord is good.
    Come to him, a living stone, rejected by human beings
    but chosen and precious in the sight of God,
    and, like living stones,
    let yourselves be built into a spiritual house
    to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices
    acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood,
    a holy nation, a people of his own,
    so that you may announce the praises
     of him
    who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

    Once you were no people
    but now you are God’s people;
    you had not received mercy
    but now you have received mercy.

    Beloved, I urge you as aliens and sojourners
    to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against the soul.
    Maintain good conduct among the Gentiles,
    so that if they speak of you as evildoers,
    they may observe your good works
    and glorify God on the day of visitation.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R. (2c) Come with joy into the presence of the Lord.
    Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
    serve the LORD with gladness;
    come before him with joyful song.
    R. Come with joy into the presence of the Lord.
    Know that the LORD is God;
    he made us, his we are;
    his people, the flock he tends.
    R. Come with joy into the presence of the Lord.
    Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
    his courts with praise;
    Give thanks to him;
    bless his name.
    R. Come with joy into the presence of the Lord.
    The LORD is good:
    his kindness endures forever,
    and his faithfulness, to all generations.
    R. Come with joy into the presence of the Lord.

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    I am the light of the world, says the Lord;
    whoever follows me will have the light of life.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd,
    Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus,
    sat by the roadside begging.
    On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth,
    he began to cry out and say,
    “Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.”
    And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent.
    But he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me.”
    Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”
    So they called the blind man, saying to him,
    “Take courage; get up, Jesus is calling you.”
    He threw aside his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
    Jesus said to him in reply, “What do you want me to do for you?”
    The blind man replied to him, “Master, I want to see.”
    Jesus told him, “Go your way; your faith has saved you.”
    Immediately he received his sight
    and followed him on the way.

    Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

    Lectionary: 572

    Reading I

    Shout for joy, O daughter Zion!
    Sing joyfully, O Israel!
    Be glad and exult with all your heart,
    O daughter Jerusalem!
    The LORD has removed the judgment against you,
    he has turned away your enemies;
    The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst,
    you have no further misfortune to fear.
    On that day, it shall be said to Jerusalem:
    Fear not, O Zion, be not discouraged!
    The LORD, your God, is in your midst,
    a mighty savior;
    He will rejoice over you with gladness,
    and renew you in his love,
    He will sing joyfully because of you,
    as one sings at festivals.

    Or      

    Rom 12:9-16

    Brothers and sisters:
    Let love be sincere;
    hate what is evil,
    hold on to what is good;
    love one another with mutual affection;
    anticipate one another in showing honor.
    Do not grow slack in zeal,
    be fervent in spirit,
    serve the Lord.
    Rejoice in hope,
    endure in affliction,
    persevere in prayer.
    Contribute to the needs of the holy ones,
    exercise hospitality.
    Bless those who persecute you,
    bless and do not curse them.
    Rejoice with those who rejoice,
    weep with those who weep.
    Have the same regard for one another;
    do not be haughty but associate with the lowly;
    do not be wise in your own estimation.

    Responsorial Psalm

    R.        (6)  Among you is the great and Holy One of Israel.
    God indeed is my savior;
    I am confident and unafraid.
    My strength and my courage is the LORD,
    and he has been my savior.
    With joy you will draw water
    at the fountain of salvation.
    R.        Among you is the great and Holy One of Israel.
    Give thanks to the LORD, acclaim his name;
    among the nations make known his deeds,
    proclaim how exalted is his name.
    R.        Among you is the great and Holy One of Israel.
    Sing praise to the LORD for his glorious achievement;
    let this be known throughout all the earth.
    Shout with exultation, O city of Zion,
    for great in your midst
    is the Holy One of Israel!
    R.        Among you is the great and Holy One of Israel.

    Alleluia

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    Blessed are you, O Virgin Mary, who believed
    that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel

    Mary set out
    and traveled to the hill country in haste
    to a town of Judah,
    where she entered the house of Zechariah
    and greeted Elizabeth.
    When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
    the infant leaped in her womb,
    and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit,
    cried out in a loud voice and said,
    “Most blessed are you among women,
    and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
    And how does this happen to me,
    that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
    For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears,
    the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
    Blessed are you who believed
    that what was spoken to you by the Lord
    would be fulfilled.”

    And Mary said:
    “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
    my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
    for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
    From this day all generations will call me blessed:
    the Almighty has done great things for me,
    and holy is his Name.

    He has mercy on those who fear him
    in every generation.
    He has shown the strength of his arm,
    he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
    He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
    and has lifted up the lowly.
    He has filled the hungry with good things,
    and the rich he has sent away empty.
    He has come to the help of his servant Israel
    for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
    the promise he made to our fathers,
    to Abraham and his children for ever.”

    Mary remained with her about three months
    and then returned to her home.
