Reading 1: Acts 9:26-31
When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples. And they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. But Barnabas took him aside and led him to the Apostles. And he explained to them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him, and how, in Damascus, he had acted faithfully in the name of Jesus. And he was with them, entering and departing Jerusalem, and acting faithfully in the name of the Lord. He also was speaking with the Gentiles and disputing with the Greeks. But they were seeking to kill him. And when the brothers had realized this, they brought him to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.

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.


Responsorial Psalm: Ps 22:26-27, 28, 30, 31-32
R. (26a) I will praise you, Lord, in the assembly of your people.

I will fulfill my vows in the sight of those who fear him. The poor will eat and be satisfied, and those who seek the Lord will praise him. Their hearts will live forever and ever.
R. I will praise you, Lord, in the assembly of your people.

All the ends of the earth will remember, and they will be converted to the Lord. And all the families of the Gentiles will adore in his sight.
R. I will praise you, Lord, in the assembly of your people.

All the fat of the earth have gnashed their teeth, and they have adored. In his sight, they will fall down, all those who descend to the ground.
R. I will praise you, Lord, in the assembly of your people.

And my soul will live for him, and my offspring will serve him. There will be announced for the Lord a future generation, and the heavens will announce his justice to a people who will be born, whom the Lord has made.
R. I will praise you, Lord, in the assembly of your people.


Reading 2: 1 Jn 3:18-24
My little sons, let us not love in words only, but in works and in truth. In this way, we will know that we are of the truth, and we will commend our hearts in his sight. For even if our heart reproaches us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows all things. Most beloved, if our heart does not reproach us, we can have confidence toward God; and whatever we shall request of him, we shall receive from him. For we keep his commandments, and we do the things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment: that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he has commanded us. And those who keep his commandments abide in him, and he in them. And we know that he abides in us by this: by the Spirit, whom he has given to us.


Alleluia: Jn 15:4a, 5b
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: John 15:1-8
