Feast Day of St
Joseph – Year B
09:00 AM Multilingual Mass & Procession
First Reading
Acts of the Apostles
14:19-28
19 Then some Jews
arrived from Antioch and Iconium and turned the people against them. They
stoned Paul and dragged him outside the town, thinking he was dead.
20 The disciples came
crowding round him but, as they did so, he stood up and went back to the town.
The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.
21 Having preached the
good news in that town and made a considerable number of disciples, they went
back through Lystra, Iconium and Antioch.
22 They put fresh heart
into the disciples, encouraging them to persevere in the faith, saying, 'We
must all experience many hardships before we enter the kingdom of God.'
23 In each of these
churches they appointed elders, and with prayer and fasting they commended them
to the Lord in whom they had come to believe.
24 They passed through
Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.
25 Then after
proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia
26 and from there sailed
for Antioch, where they had originally been commended to the grace of God for
the work they had now completed.
27 On their arrival they
assembled the church and gave an account of all that God had done with them,
and how he had opened the door of faith to the gentiles.
28 They stayed there
with the disciples for some time.

Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 145:10-11,
12-13, 21
10 All your creatures
shall thank you, Yahweh, and your faithful shall bless you.
11 They shall speak of
the glory of your kingship and tell of your might,
12 making known your
mighty deeds to the children of Adam, the glory and majesty of your kingship.
13 Your kingship is a
kingship for ever, your reign lasts from age to age. Yahweh is trustworthy in
all his words, and upright in all his deeds.
21 My mouth shall always
praise Yahweh, let every creature bless his holy name for ever and ever.
Gospel Reading
JOHN 14:27-31
27 Peace I bequeath to
you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my
gift to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
28 You heard me say: I
am going away and shall return. If you loved me you would be glad that I am
going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
29 I have told you this
now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
30 I shall not talk to
you much longer, because the prince of this world is on his way. He has no
power over me,
31 but the world must
recognise that I love the Father and that I act just as the Father commanded.
Come now, let us go.

Gospel of the Lord”
