Seventh Sunday of EASTER – Year C
5:30 pm Novena to Our Lady
6:00 pm Mass in English
6:00 pm Mass in English
First Reading
ACTS 7:55-60
55 But Stephen, filled
with the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus
standing at God's right hand.
56 'Look! I can see
heaven thrown open,' he said, 'and the Son of man standing at the right hand of
God.'
57 All the members of
the council shouted out and stopped their ears with their hands; then they made
a concerted rush at him,
58 thrust him out of the
city and stoned him. The witnesses put down their clothes at the feet of a
young man called Saul.
59 As they were stoning
him, Stephen said in invocation, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.'
60 Then he knelt down
and said aloud, 'Lord, do not hold this sin against them.' And with these words
he fell asleep.
“The
Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 96:1-2, 6-7, 9
1 Sing a new song to
Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth!
2 Sing to Yahweh, bless
his name! Proclaim his salvation day after day,
6 in his presence are
splendour and majesty, in his sanctuary power and beauty.
7 Give to Yahweh,
families of nations, give to Yahweh glory and power,
9 adore Yahweh in the
splendour of his holiness. Tremble before him, all the earth.
Second Reading
REVELATION 22:12-14,
16-17, 20
12 Look, I am coming
soon, and my reward is with me, to repay everyone as their deeds deserve.
13 I am the Alpha and
the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 Blessed are those who
will have washed their robes clean, so that they will have the right to feed on
the tree of life and can come through the gates into the city.
16 I, Jesus, have sent
my angel to attest these things to you for the sake of the churches. I am the
sprig from the root of David and the bright star of the morning.
17 The Spirit and the
Bride say, 'Come!' Let everyone who listens answer, 'Come!' Then let all who
are thirsty come: all who want it may have the water of life, and have it free.
20 The one who attests
these things says: I am indeed coming soon. Amen; come, Lord Jesus.
“The
Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
JOHN 17:20-26
20 I pray not only for
these but also for those who through their teaching will come to believe in me.
21 May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me and I am in you, so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe it was you who sent me.
22 I have given them the
glory you gave to me, that they may be one as we are one.
23 With me in them and
you in me, may they be so perfected in unity that the world will recognise that
it was you who sent me and that you have loved them as you have loved me.
24 Father, I want those
you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they may always see my
glory which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the
world.
25 Father, Upright One,
the world has not known you, but I have known you, and these have known that
you have sent me.
26 I have made your name
known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love with which
you loved me may be in them, and so that I may be in them.
