Readings, Responsorial Psalm and Gospel
Reading I, Prov 8, 22-31A Reading from the Book of ProverbsWisdom was born before the earth was made. Thus says the Wisdom of God: "The Lord begot me, the first-born of his ways, the forerunner of his prodigies of long ago; from of old I was poured forth, at the first, before the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no fountains or springs of water; before the mountains were settled into place, before the hills, I was brought forth; while as yet the earth and the fields were not made, nor the first clods of the world. "When he established the heavens I was there, when he marked out the vault over the face of the deep; when he made firm the skies above, when he fixed fast the foundations of the earth; when he set for the sea its limit, so that the waters should not transgress his command; then was I beside him as his craftsman, and I was his delight day be day, playing before him all the while, playing on the surface of his earth; and I found delight in the sons of men." The Word of the Lord. Responsorial Psalm, Ps 8, 4-5. 6-7. 8-9. R. v. 3R. O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all theearth! 1. When I behold your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you set in place - What is man that you should be mindful of him, or the son of man that you should care for him? R. 2. You have made him little less than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him rule over the works of your hands, putting all things under his feet. R. 3. All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field, The birds of the air, the fishes of the sea, and whatever swims the paths of the seas. R. Reading II, Rom 5, 1-5A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the RomansTo God through Christ in the love which is poured out through the Spirit. Now that we have been justified by faith, we are at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have gained access by faith to the grace in which we now stand, and we boast of our hope for the glory of God. But not only that - we even boast of our afflictions! We know that affliction makes for endurance, and endurance for tested virtue, and tested virtue for hope. And this hope will not leave us disappointed, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. The Word of the Lord. Gospel, Jn 16, 12-15R. Glory to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; to God who is, who was, and who is to come. R. Alleluia. A Reading from the Holy Gospel According to John Whatever the Father has is mine. The Spirit will receive what I give and tell you about it. Jesus said to his disciples: "I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. When he comes, however, being the Spirit of truth he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but will speak only what he hears, and will announce to you the things to come. In doing this he will give glory to me, because he will have received from me what he will announce to you. All that the Father has belongs to me. That is why I said that what he will announce to you he will have for me." This is the gospel of the Lord.
