The Lord has become my
protector, and he brought me forth into a large place: he saved me, because he
was well pleased with me.
Ps: I will love you, O
Lord, my strength: the Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my deliverer.

Epistle 1 John 3:13-18
Dearly
beloved: Wonder not if the world hate you. We know that we
have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth
not, abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother, is a murderer. And you know that no murderer has eternal
life abiding in himself. In this we have known the charity of God, because he
has laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the
brethren. He that has the substance of this world and shall see his brother in
need, and shut up his bowels for him: how does the charity of God abide in him?
My little children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in
truth.
Gradual
In my trouble I cried
to the Lord, and he heard me.
V. O Lord, deliver my
soul from the wicked lips and a deceitful tongue. Alleluia.
V. O Lord, my God, in
thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver
me. Alleluia.
Gospel (Luke 24: 16-24)
At
that time: Jesus spoke this parable to the Pharisees: A
certain man made a great supper, and invited many, and he sent his servant at
the hour of the supper to say to them that were invited, that they should come,
for now all things were ready. And they
began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm
and must and must go out and see it: I pray thee, hold me excused. And another
said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them: I pray thee, hold
me excused. And another said: I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot
come.
And the servant
returning told these things to the lord.
Then the master of the
house being angry, said to his servant: Go out quickly into the streets and
lanes of the city, and bring hither the poor, and the feeble, and the blind,
and the lame. And the servant said: Lord, it is done as thou has commanded, and
yet there is room. And the lord said to the servant: Go out into the highways
and hedges; and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. But I say
unto you, that none of those men that were invited shall taste of my supper. CREDO
