First Reading
ACTS OF APOSTLES
4:8-12
8 Then Peter, filled
with the Holy Spirit, addressed them, 'Rulers of the people, and elders!
9 If you are
questioning us today about an act of kindness to a cripple and asking us how he
was healed,
10 you must know, all of
you, and the whole people of Israel, that it is by the name of Jesus Christ the
Nazarene, whom you crucified, and God raised from the dead, by this name and by
no other that this man stands before you cured.
11 This is the stone
which you, the builders, rejected but which has become the cornerstone. Only in
him is there salvation;
12 for of all the names
in the world given to men, this is the only one by which we can be saved.'
“The
Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 118:1, 8-9,
21-23, 26, 28-29
1 Alleluia! Give thanks
to Yahweh for he is good, for his faithful love endures for ever.
8 It is better to take
refuge in Yahweh than to rely on human beings;
9 better to take refuge
in Yahweh than to rely on princes.
21 I thank you for
hearing me, and making yourself my Saviour.
22 The stone which the
builders rejected has become the cornerstone;
23 This is Yahweh's
doing, and we marvel at it.
26 Blessed in the name
of Yahweh is he who is coming! We bless you from the house of Yahweh.
28 You are my God, I
thank you, all praise to you, my God. I thank you for hearing me, and making
yourself my Saviour.
29 Give thanks to Yahweh
for he is good, for his faithful love endures for ever.
Second Reading
1 JOHN 3:1-2
1 You must see what
great love the Father has lavished on us by letting us be called God's children
-- which is what we are! The reason why the world does not acknowledge us is
that it did not acknowledge him.
2 My dear friends, we
are already God's children, but what we shall be in the future has not yet been
revealed. We are well aware that when he appears we shall be like him, because
we shall see him as he really is.

Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
JOHN 10:11-18
11 I am the good
shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep.
12 The hired man, since
he is not the shepherd and the sheep do not belong to him, abandons the sheep
as soon as he sees a wolf coming, and runs away, and then the wolf attacks and
scatters the sheep;
13 he runs away because
he is only a hired man and has no concern for the sheep.
14 I am the good
shepherd; I know my own and my own know me,
15 just as the Father
knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for my sheep.
16 And there are other
sheep I have that are not of this fold, and I must lead these too. They too
will listen to my voice, and there will be only one flock, one shepherd.
17 The Father loves me,
because I lay down my life in order to take it up again.
18 No one takes it from
me; I lay it down of my own free will, and as I have power to lay it down, so I
have power to take it up again; and this is the command I have received from my
Father.
