Lectionary Readings for the 5th Sunday of Easter, Year C
Readings, Responsorial Psalm and Gospel
Reading I, Is 6, 1-2. 3-8A Reading from the Acts of the ApostlesThey assembled the church and gave an account of all that God had done with them. After Paul and Barnabas had proclaimed the good news in Derbe and made numerous disciples, they retraced their steps to Lystra and Iconium first, then to Antioch. They gave their disciples reassurances, and encouraged them to persevere in the faith with this instruction: "We must undergo many trials if we are to enter into the reign of God." In each church they installed elders and, with prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had put their faith. Then they passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia. After preaching the message in Perga, they went down to Attalia. From there they sailed back to Antioch, where they had first been commended to the favor of God for the task they had now completed. On their arrival, they called the congregation together and related all that God had helped them accomplish, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. This is the Word of the Lord. Responsorial Psalm, Ps 145, 8-9. 10-11. 12-13. R. v. 1R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.1. The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and of great kindness. The Lord is good to all and compassionate toward all his works. R. 2. Let all your works give you thanks, O Lord, and let your faithful ones bless you. Let them discourse of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might. R. 3. Let them make known to men your might and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. Your kingdom is a kingdom for all ages, and your dominion endures through all generations. R. Reading II, Rv 21, 1-5A Reading from the Book of RevelationHe will wipe away all the tears from their eyes. I, John, saw new heavens and a new earth. The former heavens & the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no longer. I also saw a new Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of heaven from God, beautiful as a bride prepared to meet her husband. I heard a loud voice from the throne cry out: "This is God's dwelling among men. He shall dwell with them and they shall be his people, and he shall be their God who is always with them. He shall wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, crying out or pain, for the former world has passed away." The One who sat on the throne said to me, "See, I make all things new!" This is the Word of the Lord. Gospel, Jn 13, 31-33. 34-35R. Alleluia. I give you a new commandment: love one another as I have loved you. R. Alleluia. A Reading from the Holy Gospel According to John I give you a new commandment: love one another. Once Judas had left the cenacle, Jesus said: "Now is the Son of Man glorified and God is glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will, in turn, glorify him in himself, and will glorify him soon. My children, I am not to be with you much longer. I give you a new commandment: Love one another. Such as my love has been for you, so must your love be for each other. This is how all will know you for my disciples: your love for one another." This is the gospel of the Lord.
