6th Sunday of EASTER –
Year A
5:00 pm Novena to Our Lady
5:30 pm Sunset Mass in English
First Reading
ACTS 8:5-8, 14-17
5 And Philip went to a
Samaritan town and proclaimed the Christ to them.
6 The people unanimously
welcomed the message Philip preached, because they had heard of the miracles he
worked and because they saw them for themselves.
7 For unclean spirits
came shrieking out of many who were possessed, and several paralytics and
cripples were cured.
8 As a result there was
great rejoicing in that town.
14 When the apostles in
Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and
John to them,
15 and they went down
there and prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit,
16 for as yet he had not
come down on any of them: they had only been baptised in the name of the Lord
Jesus.
17 Then they laid hands on
them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

PSALMS 66:1-7, 16, 20
1 [For the choirmaster
Song Psalm] Acclaim God, all the earth,
2 sing psalms to the
glory of his name, glorify him with your praises,
3 say to God, 'How
awesome you are! 'Your achievements are the measure of your power, your enemies
woo your favour,
4 all the earth bows down
before you, sings psalms to you, sings psalms to your name.
5 Come and see the
marvels of God, his awesome deeds for the children of Adam:
6 he changed the sea into
dry land, they crossed the river on foot. So let us rejoice in him,
7 who rules for ever by
his power; his eyes keep watch on the nations to forestall rebellion against
him.
16 Come and listen, all
who fear God, while I tell what he has done for me.
20 Blessed be God who has
not turned away my prayer, nor his own faithful love from me.
Second Reading
FIRST PETER 3:15-18
15 Simply proclaim the
Lord Christ holy in your hearts, and always have your answer ready for people
who ask you the reason for the hope that you have.
16 But give it with
courtesy and respect and with a clear conscience, so that those who slander
your good behaviour in Christ may be ashamed of their accusations.
17 And if it is the will
of God that you should suffer, it is better to suffer for doing right than for
doing wrong.
18 Christ himself died
once and for all for sins, the upright for the sake of the guilty, to lead us
to God. In the body he was put to death, in the spirit he was raised to life,

Gospel Reading
JOHN 14:15-21
15 If you love me you will
keep my commandments.
16 I shall ask the Father,
and he will give you another Paraclete to be with you for ever,
17 the Spirit of truth
whom the world can never accept since it neither sees nor knows him; but you
know him, because he is with you, he is in you.
18 I shall not leave you
orphans; I shall come to you.
19 In a short time the
world will no longer see me; but you will see that I live and you also will
live.
20 On that day you will
know that I am in my Father and you in me and I in you.
21 Whoever holds to my
commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me; and whoever loves me will
be loved by my Father, and I shall love him and reveal myself to him.'

Gospel of the Lord”
