First Reading (Acts 4: 8-12)
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke up, "Leaders of the people! Elders! It is a fact that we are being examined today for a good deed done to a cripple. How was he healed? You and all the people of Israel must know that this man stands before you cured through the Name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean. You had him crucified, but God raised him from the dead. Jesus is the stone rejected by you the builders which has become the cornerstone. There is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other Name given to humankind all over the world by which we may be saved."
Second Reading (1 John 3: 1-2)
A reading from the letter of Saint John.
See what singular love the Father has for us: we are called children of God, and we really are. This is why the world does not know us, because it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children and what we shall be has not yet been shown. Yet when he appears in his glory, we know that we shall be like him, for then we shall see him as he is.
Gospel (John 10: 11-18)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Jesus stated this to the Pharisees, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. Not so the hired hand or any other person who is not the shepherd and to whom the sheep do not belong. They abandon the sheep as soon as they see the wolf coming; then the wolf snatches and scatters the sheep. This is because the hired hand works for pay and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own my own know me, as the Father knows me and I know the Father. Because of this I give my life for my sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this fold. These I have to lead as well, and they shall listen to my voice. Then there will be one flock since there is one Shepherd. The Father loves me because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down freely. It is mine to lay down and to take up again: this mission I received from my Father."

Interestingly, the songs are more joyful from before.
ReplyDeleteRemember, it is noted that the songs are more joyful than before. The Roman version is nullified since it is Easter.
DeleteToo often we have not been close to the Lord Jesus; we rely on his loving mercy.
ReplyDeleteThis is the Kyrie for the 4th Sunday of Easter.
ReplyDeletePriest: Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd, you laid down your life for your sheep, for all the people you came to save. Lord, have mercy.
Congregation: Lord, have mercy.
Priest: Jesus Christ, our Good Shepherd, you know your sheep, all your people, and those who accept you, know you. Christ, have mercy.
Congregation: Christ, have mercy.
Priest: Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd, you have still other sheep who are outside and you want them to belong in your flock. Lord, have mercy.
Congregation: Lord, have mercy.
Have mercy on us, Lord, seek us out and bring to us all the peace of your forgiveness and love. Lead us to everlasting life. Amen.
In this is the Collect for the 4th Sunday of Easter.
ReplyDeleteLet us pray. Almighty ever-living God, lead us to a share in the joys of heaven, so that the humble flock may reach where the brave Shepherd has gone before. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 118) (Verses 1, 8-9, 21-23, 26, and 28-29)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone. (Or you may say Alleluia!)
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his loving kindness endures forever. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in the help of humans. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in the might of princes.
I thank you for having answered me, for having rescued me. The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone. This was the Lord's doing and we marvel at it.
Blessed is he who comes in the Lord's name! We bless you from the house of the Lord. You are my God, and I give you thanks. You are my God, and I give you praise. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his steadfast love endures forever!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
ReplyDeleteI am the good shepherd, states the Lord; I know my sheep, and mine know me.

Grant that we pray, O lord, that we may always find delight in these paschal mysteries, so that the renewal constantly at work within us may be the cause of our unending joy. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
ReplyDeleteIt is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, at all times to acclaim you, O lord, but in this time above all to laud you yet more gloriously, when Christ our Passover has been sacrificed. For with the old order destroyed, a universe cast down is renewed, and integrity of life is restored to us in Christ. Therefore, overcome with paschal joy, every land and every people exults in your praise and even the heavenly Powers, with the angelic hosts, sing together the unending hymn of your glory, as they acclaim...

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 almighty God, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, come down on you and remain with you forever. Amen.
The Mass has ended, and you are sent. Therefore, let us go in peace and to be united in Jesus, our good shepherd. Thanks be to God.
There is indeed a difference betwixt the adult version and the catechumen's version.
ReplyDeleteI am the good shepehrd. It is important to nurture the sheep well. Some sheep are lost, so we will need to guide them well.
ReplyDeleteThe lambs as well! Do not forget about the lambs!
ReplyDeleteI still recognize some people in the church. How grand!
ReplyDeletePrimera Lectura (Hechos de los apóstoles 4: 8–12)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura de los Hechos de los apóstoles.
Pedro, lleno del Espíritu Santo, les contestó: “Jefes del pueblo y ancianos: Nos preguntan hoy acerca del bien hecho a un enfermo, para saber de qué manera ha sido sanado. Pues ante ustedes declaramos, para que lo sepa todo el pueblo de Israel, que este hombre que está aquí, delante de todos, ha sido sanado en el nombre de Jesucristo de Nazaret, el mismo a quien ustedes crucificaron y a quien Dios resucitó. Este Jesús es la piedra despreciada por ustedes los constructores, que se ha convertido en la piedra angular. En ningún otro hay salvación, porque Dios no nos ha dado a conocer el nombre de ningún otro en el mundo por el cual podamos ser salvos.”
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 4) (Versículos 1, 8–9, 21–23, 26 y 28–29)
La respuesta es: La piedra que fue rechazada por los constructores se ha convertido en la piedra angular.
• Den gracias al Señor, porque él es bueno, porque su amor es eterno. Es mejor confiar en el Señor que confiar en el hombre. Es mejor confiar en el Señor que confiar en grandes hombres.
• Te doy gracias, Señor, porque me has respondido y porque eres mi salvador. La piedra que los constructores despreciaron se ha convertido en la piedra angular. Esto lo ha hecho el Señor, y estamos maravillados.
• ¡Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor! Les bendecimos desde el templo del Señor. Te doy gracias y alabo tu grandeza, porque tú eres mi Dios. Den gracias al Señor, porque él es bueno, porque su amor es eterno.
Segunda Lectura (1 Juan 3: 1–2)
Una lectura de la primera carta de San Juan.
Miren cuánto nos ama el Padre, que se nos llama hijos de Dios, y lo somos. Por eso, los que son del mundo no nos conocen, pues no han conocido a Dios. Queridos hermanos, ya somos hijos de Dios. Y aunque aún no se ha manifestado lo que seremos después, sabemos que cuando Jesucristo aparezca seremos como él, porque le veremos tal como es.
Evangelio (Juan 10: 11–18)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Juan.
Jesús les dijo a sus discípulos: “Yo soy el buen pastor. El buen pastor da su vida por las ovejas; pero el que trabaja solamente por el salario, cuando ve venir al lobo deja las ovejas y huye, porque no es el pastor ni son suyas las ovejas. Entonces el lobo ataca a las ovejas y las dispersa en todas direcciones. Ese hombre huye porque lo único que le importa es el salario, no las ovejas. Yo soy el buen pastor. Como mi Padre me conoce y yo conozco a mi Padre, así conozco a mis ovejas y ellas me conocen a mí. Yo doy mi vida por las ovejas. También tengo otras ovejas que no son de este redil, y también a ellas debo traer. Ellas me obedecerán, y habrá un solo rebaño y un solo pastor. “El Padre me ama porque yo doy mi vida para volverla a recibir. Nadie me quita la vida, sino que la doy por mi propia voluntad. Tengo el derecho de darla y de volverla a recibir. Esto es lo que me ordenó mi Padre.”
Bacaan Pertama (Kisah para Rasul 4: 8–12)
ReplyDeletePembacaan dari Kisah para Rasul.
Maka jawab Petrus, penuh dengan Roh Kudus: "Hai pemimpin-pemimpin umat dan tua-tua, jika kami sekarang harus diperiksa karena suatu kebajikan kepada seorang sakit dan harus menerangkan dengan kuasa manakah orang itu disembuhkan, maka ketahuilah oleh kamu sekalian dan oleh seluruh umat Israel, bahwa dalam nama Yesus Kristus, orang Nazaret, yang telah kamu salibkan, tetapi yang telah dibangkitkan Allah dari antara orang mati—bahwa oleh karena Yesus itulah orang ini berdiri dengan sehat sekarang di depan kamu. Yesus adalah batu yang dibuang oleh tukang-tukang bangunan—yaitu kamu sendiri, namun ia telah menjadi batu penjuru. Dan keselamatan tidak ada di dalam siapapun juga selain di dalam Dia, sebab di bawah kolong langit ini tidak ada nama lain yang diberikan kepada manusia yang olehnya kita dapat diselamatkan."
Mazmur (Mazmur 118) (Ayat 1, 8–9, 21–23, 26 dan 28–29)
Tanggapan adalah: Batu yang dibuang oleh tukang-tukang bangunan telah menjadi batu penjuru.
• Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik! Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya. Lebih baik berlindung pada TUHAN dari pada percaya kepada manusia. Lebih baik berlindung pada TUHAN dari pada percaya kepada para bangsawan.
• Aku bersyukur kepada-Mu, sebab Engkau telah menjawab aku dan telah menjadi keselamatanku. Batu yang dibuang oleh tukang-tukang bangunan telah menjadi batu penjuru. Hal itu terjadi dari pihak TUHAN, suatu perbuatan ajaib di mata kita.
• Diberkatilah dia yang datang dalam nama TUHAN! Kami memberkati kamu dari dalam rumah TUHAN. Allahku Engkau, aku hendak bersyukur kepada-Mu, Allahku, aku hendak meninggikan Engkau. Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik! Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya.
Bacaan Kedua (1 Yohanes 3: 1–2)
Pembacaan dari surat pertama dari Santo Yohanes.
Lihatlah, betapa besarnya kasih yang dikaruniakan Bapa kepada kita, sehingga kita disebut anak-anak Allah, dan memang kita adalah anak-anak Allah. Karena itu dunia tidak mengenal kita, sebab dunia tidak mengenal Dia. Saudara-saudaraku yang kekasih, sekarang kita adalah anak-anak Allah, tetapi belum nyata apa keadaan kita kelak; akan tetapi kita tahu, bahwa apabila Kristus menyatakan diri-Nya, kita akan menjadi sama seperti Dia, sebab kita akan melihat Dia dalam keadaan-Nya yang sebenarnya.
Bacaan Injil (Yohanes 10: 11–18)
Pembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut Santo Yohanes.
Yesus berkata-kata hal ini kepada murid-muridnya: “Akulah gembala yang baik. Gembala yang baik memberikan nyawanya bagi domba-dombanya; sedangkan seorang upahan yang bukan gembala, dan yang bukan pemilik domba-domba itu sendiri, ketika melihat serigala datang, meninggalkan domba-domba itu lalu lari, sehingga serigala itu menerkam dan mencerai-beraikan domba-domba itu. Ia lari karena ia seorang upahan dan tidak memperhatikan domba-domba itu. Akulah gembala yang baik dan Aku mengenal domba-domba-Ku dan domba-domba-Ku mengenal Aku sama seperti Bapa mengenal Aku dan Aku mengenal Bapa, dan Aku memberikan nyawa-Ku bagi domba-domba-Ku. Ada lagi pada-Ku domba-domba lain, yang bukan dari kandang ini; domba-domba itu harus Kutuntun juga dan mereka akan mendengarkan suara-Ku dan mereka akan menjadi satu kawanan dengan satu gembala. Bapa mengasihi Aku, oleh karena Aku memberikan nyawa-Ku untuk menerimanya kembali. Tidak seorangpun mengambilnya dari pada-Ku, melainkan Aku memberikannya menurut kehendak-Ku sendiri. Aku berkuasa memberikannya dan berkuasa mengambilnya kembali. Inilah tugas yang Kuterima dari Bapa-Ku."
