Easter Weekday
Easter Weekday
FIRST READING
Acts 14: 19
– 28
19 But Jews came there from Antioch and
Ico'nium; and having persuaded the people, they stoned Paul and dragged him out
of the city, supposing that he was dead. 20 But when the disciples
gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city; and on the next day he
went on with Barnabas to Derbe. 21 When they had preached the
gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to
Ico'nium and to Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the
disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying that through
many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. 23 And
when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and
fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they believed. 24 Then
they passed through Pisid'ia, and came to Pamphyl'ia. 25 And
when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attali'a; 26 and
from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace
of God for the work which they had fulfilled. 27 And when they
arrived, they gathered the church together and declared all that God had done
with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And
they remained no little time with the disciples.
PSALM RESPONSES
Psalms 145: 10
- 13, 21
10 All thy works shall give thanks to thee, O
LORD, and all thy saints shall bless thee! 11 They shall speak of
the glory of thy kingdom, and tell of thy power, 12 to
make known to the sons of men thy mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of
thy kingdom. 13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and
thy dominion endures throughout all generations. The LORD is faithful in all
his words, and gracious in all his deeds.
21 My mouth will speak
the praise of the LORD, and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and
ever.
GOSPEL
John 14: 27
– 31
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to
you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled,
neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, `I go away, and
I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to
the Father; for the Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told
you before it takes place, so that when it does take place, you may believe. 30
I
will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He
has no power over me; 31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so
that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go hence.
Sorrow
is given us on purpose to cure us of sin. -- St. John Chrysostom
