Easter Weekday — Optional Memorial of St. Christopher Magallanes
First Reading
30But on the next day, meaning to know more diligently for what cause he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the priests to come together, and all the council: and bringing forth Paul, he set him before them.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 16:1-2a and 5, 7-8, 9-10, 11
1The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.
2I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
3To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
4Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
6The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.
7I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
9Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give thy holy one to see corruption.
Gospel
20And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me;
21That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one:
23I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me.
24Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me may be with me; that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world.
25Just Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee: and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26And I have made known thy name to them, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them.
The Gospel of the Lord.
