First Reading: Acts 9:26-31

When Saul arrived in Jerusalem he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. Then Barnabas took charge of him and brought him to the apostles, and he reported to them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus. He moved about freely with them in Jerusalem, and spoke out boldly in the name of the Lord. He also spoke and debated with the Hellenists, but they tried to kill him. And when the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him on his way to Tarsus. The church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria was at peace. It was being built up and walked in the fear of the Lord, and with the consolation of the Holy Spirit it grew in numbers.

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm: Ps. 22:26-27, 28, 30, 31-32

I will praise you, Lord, in the assembly of your people.

Second Reading: 1 Jn 3:18-24

Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth. Now this is how we shall know that we belong to the truth and reassure our hearts before him in whatever our hearts condemn, for God is greater than our hearts and knows everything. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in God and receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. And his commandment is this: we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another just as he commanded us. Those who keep his commandments remain in him, and he in them, and the way we know that he remains in us is from the Spirit he gave us.

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation: John 10:14

Remain in me as I remain in you, says the Lord. Whoever remains in me will bear much fruit.

Gospel: Jn 10:11-18

The Lord be with you. And with your spirit. A reading from the holy Gospel Glory to you, O Lord. according to John.

Jesus said to his disciples: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and every one that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.”

The Gospel of the Lord Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

Behold the Lamb of God, Behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.

Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, But only say the word and my soul shall be healed. Communion Song: Adoro Te Devote 5 (Spanish on next page)

Latin English 1. Adóro te devóte, latens Déitas, 1. Godhead here in hiding, whom I do adore Quae sub his figúris vere látitas: Masked by these bare shadows, shape and Tibi se cor meum totum súbjicit, nothing more, Quia te contémplans totum déficit. See, Lord at thy service low lies here a heart Lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art.

2. Seeing, touching, tasting are in thee deceived; How says trusty hearing? that shall be believed; What God's Son has told me, take for truth I do; Truth himself speaks truly or there's nothing true.

3. On the cross thy godhead made no sign to men; Here thy very manhood steals from human ken: Both are my confession, both are my belief, And I pray the prayer made by the dying thief.

4. I am not like Thomas, wounds I cannot see, But I plainly call thee Lord and God as he: This faith each day deeper be my holding of, Daily make me harder hope and dearer love.

5. O thou, our reminder of the Crucified, Living Bread, the life of us for whom he died, Lend this life to me, then; feed and feast my mind, There be thou the sweetness man was meant to find.

6. Like what tender tales tell of the Pelican, Bathe me, Jesus Lord, in what thy bosom ran–– Blood that but one drop of has the pow'r to win All the world forgiveness of its world of sin.

7. Jesus whom I look at shrouded here below, I beseech thee, send me what I thirst for so, Some day to gaze on thee face to face in light And be blest forever with thy glory's sight.

Ave verum corpus, Hail, true body, Natum de Maria virgine; Born of the virgin Mary; Vere passum immolatum Who has truly suffered, In crucis pro homine. slaughtered Cuius latus perforatum On the Cross for humanity. Unda fluxit et sanguine. Whose side was pierced, Esto nobis praegustatum Pouring out water and blood. In mortis examine. Be a foretaste for us During our ordeal of death.

May God, who by the Resurrection of his Only Begotten Son was pleased to confer on you the gift of redemption and of adoption, give you gladness by his blessing. Amen May he, by whose redeeming work you have received the gift of everlasting freedom, make you heirs to an eternal inheritance. Amen And may you, who have already risen with Christ in Baptism through faith, by living in a right manner on this earth, be united with him in the homeland of heaven. Amen And may the blessing of the Almighty God, The Father, and the Son, † and the Holy Spirit, come down on you and remain with you for ever. Amen
