– Year B
5:00 pm Novena to Our Lady
5:30 pm Sunset Mass in English
First Reading
ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 10:25-26,
34-35, 44-48
25 and as Peter reached
the house Cornelius went out to meet him, fell at his feet and did him
reverence.
26 But Peter helped him
up. 'Stand up,' he said, ' after all, I am only a man!'
34 Then Peter addressed
them, 'I now really understand', he said, 'that God has no favourites,
35 but that anybody of
any nationality who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
44 While Peter was still
speaking the Holy Spirit came down on all the listeners.
45 Jewish believers who
had accompanied Peter were all astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit
should be poured out on gentiles too,
46 since they could hear
them speaking strange languages and proclaiming the greatness of God. Peter
himself then said,
47 'Could anyone refuse
the water of baptism to these people, now they have received the Holy Spirit
just as we have?'
48 He then gave orders
for them to be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ. Afterwards they begged him
to stay on for some days.

PSALMS 98:1, 2-3, 3-4
1 [Psalm] Sing a new
song to Yahweh, for he has performed wonders, his saving power is in his right
hand and his holy arm.
2 Yahweh has made known
his saving power, revealed his saving justice for the nations to see,
3 mindful of his
faithful love and his constancy to the House of Israel. The whole wide world
has seen the saving power of our God.
4 Acclaim Yahweh, all
the earth, burst into shouts of joy!
Second Reading
First John 4:7-10
7 My dear friends, let
us love one another, since love is from God and everyone who loves is a child
of God and knows God.
8 Whoever fails to love
does not know God, because God is love.
9 This is the
revelation of God's love for us, that God sent his only Son into the world that
we might have life through him.
10 Love consists in
this: it is not we who loved God, but God loved us and sent his Son to expiate
our sins.

Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
JOHN 15:9-17
9 I have loved you just
as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.
10 If you keep my
commandments you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's
commandments and remain in his love.
11 I have told you this
so that my own joy may be in you and your joy be complete.
12 This is my
commandment: love one another, as I have loved you.
13 No one can have
greater love than to lay down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends,
if you do what I command you.
15 I shall no longer
call you servants, because a servant does not know the master's business; I
call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have learnt
from my Father.
16 You did not choose
me, no, I chose you; and I commissioned you to go out and to bear fruit, fruit
that will last; so that the Father will give you anything you ask him in my
name.
17 My command to you is
to love one another.

Gospel of the Lord”
