May 9, 2021 Sixth Sunday Of Easter  “If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.“ Jn 15:10 SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER SUNDAY, MAY 9, 2021

Entrance Song: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Collect First Reading: Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and, falling at his feet, paid him homage. Peter, however, raised him up, saying, “Get up. I myself am also a human being.” Then Peter proceeded to speak and said “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him.” While Peter was still speaking these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the word. The circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit should have Penitential Act been poured out on the Gentiles also, for they could hear them speaking in tongues and glorifying God. Then Glory to God (from A New for Congregations) Peter responded, “Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit even as we have?” He ordered them to be baptized in the name of Christ.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 98

Second Reading: 1 John 4:7-10 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love. In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him. In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.

2 ST. MICHAEL PRAYER Gospel Acclamation Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, Thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who Whoever loves me will keep my word, says the Lord, Prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. and my Father will love him and we will come to him. Sending Hymn: I Know That My Redeemer Lives

Gospel: John 15:9-17 Jesus said to his disciples: “As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy might be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father. It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my All music printed with permission of the copyright holder: name he may give you.
