Reading 1: Acts 9:31-42
Certainly, the Church had peace throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and it was being built up, while walking in the fear of the Lord, and it was being filled with the consolation of the Holy Spirit.

Then it happened that Peter, as he traveled around everywhere, came to the saints who were living at Lydda. But he found there a certain man, named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, who had lain in bed for eight years. And Peter said to him: “Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and arrange your bed.” And immediately he rose up. And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord.

Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing. And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: “Do not be slow in coming to us.” Then Peter, rising up, went with them. And when he had arrived, they led him to an upper room. And all the widows were standing around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made for them. And when they had all been sent outside, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes and, upon seeing Peter, sat up again. And offering her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive. Now this became known throughout all of Joppa. And many believed in the Lord.


Responsorial Psalm: Ps 116:12-13, 14-15, 16-17
R. (12) How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good he has done for me?

What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things he has given to me? I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
R. How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good he has done for me?

I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people: Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
R. How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good he has done for me?

O Lord, for I am your servant: I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid. You have broken my bonds: I will sacrifice to you the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
R. How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good he has done for me?



Alleluia See: Jn 6:63c, 68c

Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life;
you have the words of everlasting life.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
