Liturgy of the Word

1st Reading Acts 2:1-11

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."

The Word of the Lord
~Thanks be to God~

Responsorial Psalm

2nd Reading 1 Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13

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.

The Word of the Lord

~ Thanks be to God~

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 John 20:19-23

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."

The Gospel of the Lord

Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ

~~Homily~~

Profession of Faith:

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, 
maker of heaven and earth, 
of all things visible and invisible. 
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, 

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten,

not made, consubstantial with the Father; through Him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.  

For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate, He suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead

and His kingdom will have no end.  

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

1st Reading 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.

2nd Reading 1 Peter 4:13-16

Beloved:

Rejoice to the extent that you share in

the sufferings of Christ,

so that when his glory is revealed

you may also rejoice exultantly.

If you are insulted for the name of Christ,

blessed are you,

for the Spirit of glory and of God rests

upon you.

But let no one among you be made to

suffer

as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as

an intriguer.

But whoever is made to suffer as a

Christian should not be ashamed

but glorify God because of the name.

The Word of the Lord

~ Thanks be to God~

Alleluia

I will not leave you orphans, says the

Lord.

I will come back to you, and your

Gospel John 17:1-11a

Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and

said,

“Father, the hour has come.

Give glory to your son, so that your son

may glorify you,

just as you gave him authority over all

people,

so that your son may give eternal life to

all you gave him.

Now this is eternal life,

that they should know you, the only

true God,

and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

I glorified you on earth

by accomplishing the work that you gave

me to do.

Now glorify me, Father, with you,

with the glory that I had with you before

the world began.

“I revealed your name to those whom you

gave me out of the world.

They belonged to you, and you gave

them to me,

and they have kept your word.

Now they know that everything you gave

me is from you,

because the words you gave to me I have

given to them,

and they accepted them and truly understood

that I came from you,

and they have believed that you sent me.

I pray for them.

I do not pray for the world but for the ones

you have given me,

because they are yours, and everything of

mine is yours

and everything of yours is mine,

and I have been glorified in them.

And now I will no longer be in the world,
