First Reading
ACTS OF APOSTLES
1:12-14
12 So from the Mount of
Olives, as it is called, they went back to Jerusalem, a short distance away, no
more than a Sabbath walk;
13 and when they reached
the city they went to the upper room where they were staying; there were Peter
and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James
son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Jude son of James.
14 With one heart all
these joined constantly in prayer, together with some women, including Mary the
mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

PSALMS 26:1, 4, 7-8
1 [Of David] Yahweh, be
my judge! I go on my way in innocence, my trust in Yahweh never wavers.
4 No sitting with
wastrels for me, no travelling with hypocrites;
7 to make heard the
sound of thanksgiving, to proclaim all your wonders.
8 Yahweh, I love the
beauty of your house and the place where your glory dwells.
Second Reading
1 PETER 4:13-16
13 but in so far as you
share in the sufferings of Christ, be glad, so that you may enjoy a much
greater gladness when his glory is revealed.
14 If you are insulted
for bearing Christ's name, blessed are you, for on you rests the Spirit of God,
the Spirit of glory.
15 None of you should
ever deserve to suffer for being a murderer, a thief, a criminal or an
informer;
16 but if any one of you
should suffer for being a Christian, then there must be no shame but
thanksgiving to God for bearing this name.

Gospel Reading
JOHN 17:1-11
1 After saying this,
Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said: Father, the hour has come: glorify
your Son so that your Son may glorify you;
2 so that, just as you
have given him power over all humanity, he may give eternal life to all those
you have entrusted to him.
3 And eternal life is
this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
4 I have glorified you
on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do.
5 Now, Father, glorify
me with that glory I had with you before ever the world existed.
6 I have revealed your
name to those whom you took from the world to give me. They were yours and you
gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
7 Now at last they have
recognised that all you have given me comes from you
8 for I have given them
the teaching you gave to me, and they have indeed accepted it and know for
certain that I came from you, and have believed that it was you who sent me.
9 It is for them that I
pray. I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me, because
they belong to you.
10 All I have is yours
and all you have is mine, and in them I am glorified.
11 I am no longer in the
world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep
those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us.
