Lectionary Readings for the 7th Sunday of
Easter, Year B
Readings, Responsorial Psalm and Gospel
Reading I, Acts 1, 15-17. 20-26
A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles
We must therefore choose someone who has been with us
the whole time, and he can act with us as a witness to his
resurrection.
During those days Peter stood up in the center of the
brothers: there must have been a hundred and twenty gathered
together. "Brothers," he said, "the saying in Scripture
uttered long ago by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of
David was destined to be fulfilled in Judas, the one that
guided those who arrested Jesus. He was one of our number
and he had been given a share in this ministry of ours. It
is written in the Book of Psalms, 'May another take his
office.' "It is entirely fitting, therefore, that one of
those who was of our company while the Lord Jesus moved
among us, from the baptism of John until the day he was
taken up from us, should be named as witness with us to his
resurrection." At that they nominated two, Joseph (called
Barsabbas, also known as Justus) and Matthias. Then they
prayed: "O Lord, you read the hearts of men. Make known to
us which of these two you choose for this apostolic ministry,
replacing Judas, who deserted the cause and went the way he
was destined to go." They then drew lots between the two
men. The choice fell to Matthias, who was added to the
eleven apostles.
The Word of the Lord.
Responsorial Psalm, Ps 103, 1-2. 11-12. 19-20. R. v. 19
R.
The Lord has set his throne in heaven.
1. Bless the Lord, O my soul;
and all my being, bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits. R.
2. For as the heavens are high above the earth,
so surpassing is his kindness toward those who fear him.
As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he put our transgressions from us. R.
3. The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.
Bless the Lord, all you his angels,
you mighty in strength, who do his bidding. R.
Reading II, 1 Jn 4, 11-16
A Reading from the First Letter of John
The man who lives in love, lives in God, and God
in him.
Beloved, if God has loved us so, we must have the
same love for one another. No one has ever seen God.
Yet if we love one another God dwells in us, and his
love is brought to perfection in us. The way we know
we remain in him and he is us is that he has given us
of his Spirit. We have seen for ourselves, and can
testify, that the Father has sent the Son as savior
of the world. When anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the
Son of God, God dwells in him and he in God. We have
come to know and to believe in the love God has for
us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in
God, and God in him.
The Word of the Lord.
Gospel, Jn 17, 11-19
Alleluia Jn 14, 18
R. Alleluia. The Lord said: I will not leave you
orphans. I will come back to you, and your hearts will
rejoice. R. Alleluia.
A Reading from the Holy Gospel, According to John
Father, may they be one is us!
Jesus looked up to heaven and prayed: "O Father most
holy, protect them with your name which you have given
me, that they may be one, even as we are one. As long
as I was with them, I guarded them with your name which
you gave me. I kept careful watch, and not one of them
was lost, none but him who was destined to be lost -
in fulfillment of Scripture. Now, however, I come to you;
I say all this while I am still in the world that they
may share my joy completely. I gave them your word, and
the world has hated them for it; they do not belong to the
world, any more than I belong to the world. I do not ask
you to take them out of the world, but to guard them from
the evil one. They are not of the world, any more than I am
of the world. Consecrate them by means of truth - 'Your word
is truth.' As you have sent me into the world, so I have
sent them into the world: I consecrate myself to their sakes
now, that they may be consecrated in truth."
This is the gospel of the Lord.
