First ReadingActs 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48
25And it happened that, when Peter had entered, Cornelius went to meet him. And falling before his feet, he reverenced.
26Yet truly, Peter, lifting him up, said: “Rise up, for I also am only a man.”
Some verses are not read.
34Then, Peter, opening his mouth, said: “I have concluded in truth that God is not a respecter of persons.
35But within every nation, whoever fears him and works justice is acceptable to him.
Some verses are not read.
44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell over all of those who were listening to the Word.
45And the faithful of the circumcision, who had arrived with Peter, were astonished that the grace of the Holy Spirit was also poured out upon the Gentiles.
46For they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God.
47Then Peter responded, “How could anyone prohibit water, so that those who have received the Holy Spirit would not be baptized, just as we also have been?”
48And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they begged him to remain with them for some days.
9As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love.
10If you keep my precepts, you shall abide in my love, just as I also have kept my Father’s precepts and I abide in his love.
11These things I have spoken to you, so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be fulfilled.
12This is my precept: that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
13No one has a greater love than this: that he lay down his life for his friends.
14You are my friends, if you do what I instruct you.
15I will no longer call you servants, for the servant does not know what his Lord is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything whatsoever that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
16You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. And I have appointed you, so that you may go forth and bear fruit, and so that your fruit may last. Then whatever you have asked of the Father in my name, he shall give to you.
Citations as published in the USCCB liturgical calendar.
In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
