Readings
FIRST READING
Acts 16:1–10
1 He 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. 2 The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke highly of him, 3 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. 4 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. 5 Day after day the churches grew stronger in faith and increased in number.
6 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. 7 When they came to Mysia, they tried to go on into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them, 8 so they crossed through Mysia and came down to Troas. 9 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.” 10 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.
RESPONSE
Psalm 100:2a
2 serve the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful song.
PSALM
Psalm 100:1b–3, 5
1 A psalm of thanksgiving.
Shout joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
2 serve the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful song.
3 Know that the LORD is God,
he made us, we belong to him,
we are his people, the flock he shepherds.
5 good indeed is the LORD,
His mercy endures forever,
his faithfulness lasts through every generation.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
Colossians 3:1
CHAPTER 3
1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
GOSPEL
John 15:18–21
18 “If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first. 19 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. 20 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. 21 And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.
