Tuesday of the Seventh Week of Easter
Year A — "Father, glorify your Son"
First Reading
17And sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called the ancients of the church.
18And when they were come to him, and were together, he said to them: You know from the first day that I came into Asia, in what manner I have been with you, for all the time,
19Serving the Lord with all humility, and with tears, and temptations which befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews;
20How I have kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have preached it to you, and taught you publicly, and from house to house,
21Testifying both to Jews and Gentiles penance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
22And now, behold, being bound in the spirit, I go to Jerusalem: not knowing the things which shall befall me there:
23Save that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesseth to me, saying: That bands and afflictions wait for me at Jerusalem.
24But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25And now behold, I know that all you, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26Wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I am clear from the blood of all men;
27For I have not spared to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
Responsorial Psalm
1Unto the end, a psalm of a canticle for David himself.
2Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: and let them that hate him flee from before his face.
3As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
4And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: and be delighted with gladness.
5Sing ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: the Lord is his name. Rejoice ye before him: but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence,
6Who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows. God in his holy place:
7God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house: Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.
8O God, when thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, when thou didst pass through the desert:
9The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel.
10Thou shalt set aside for thy inheritance a free rain, O God: and it was weakened, but thou hast made it perfect.
11In it shall thy animals dwell; in thy sweetness, O God, thou hast provided for the poor.
12The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings with great power.
13The king of powers is of the beloved, of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.
14If you sleep among the midst of lots, you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and the hinder parts of her back with the paleness of gold.
15When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, they shall be whited with snow in Selmon.
16The mountain of God is a fat mountain. A curdled mountain, a fat mountain.
17Why suspect, ye curdled mountains? A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: for there the Lord shall dwell unto the end.
18The chariot of God is attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: the Lord is among them in Sina, in the holy place.
19Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; thou hast received gifts in men. Yea for those also that do not believe, the dwelling of the Lord God.
20Blessed be the Lord day by day: the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us.
21Our God is the God of salvation: and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death.
22But God shall break the heads of his enemies: the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins.
23The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, I will turn them into the depth of the sea:
24That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same.
25They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary.
26Princes went before joined with singers, in the midst of young damsels playing on timbrels.
27In the churches bless ye God the Lord, from the fountains of Israel.
28There is Benjamin a youth, in ecstasy of mind. The princes of Juda are their leaders: the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.
29Command thy strength, O God: confirm, O God, what thou hast wrought in us.
30From thy temple in Jerusalem, kings shall offer presents to thee.
31Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, the congregation of bulls with the kine of the people; who seek to exclude them who are tried with silver. Scatter thou the nations that delight in wars:
32Ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
33Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth: sing ye to the Lord: Sing ye to God,
34Who mounteth above the heaven of heavens, to the east. Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power:
35Give ye glory to God for Israel, his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds.
36God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people. Blessed be God.
Gospel
1These things Jesus spoke, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: Father, the hour is come, glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.
2As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him.
3Now this is eternal life: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world was, with thee.
6I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were, and to me thou gavest them; and they have kept thy word.
7Now they have known, that all things which thou hast given me, are from thee:
8Because the words which thou gavest me, I have given to them; and they have received them, and have known in very deed that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me: because they are thine:
10And all my things are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou has given me; that they may be one, as we also are.
