| EPISTLE ¤ Acts 19. 1-8. Lesson from the Acts of the Apostles Lectio Actuum Apostolorum [St. Paul, at Ephesus, administered the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation to certain disciples. The Holy Ghost came upon them.] |
||||
| In diebus illis: Factum est cum Apollo esset Corinthi, ut Paulus peragratis superioribus partibus veniret Ephesum, et inveniret quosdam discipulos: dixitque ad eos: Si Spiritum Sanctum accepistis credentes? At illi dixerunt ad eum: Sed neque si Spiritus Sanctus est, audivimus. Ille vero ait : In quo ergo baptizati estis? Qui dixerunt: In Ioannis baptismate. Dixit autem Paulus: Ioannes baptizavit baptismo paenitentiae populum, dicens in eum qui venturus esset post ipsum ut crederent, hoc est, in Iesum. His auditis, baptizati sunt in nomine Domini Iesu. Et cum imposuisset illis manus Paulus, venit Spiritus Sanctus super eos, et loquebantur linguis, et prophetabant. Erant autem omnes viri fere duodecim. Introgressus autem synagogam, cum fiducia loquebatur per tres menses, disputans et suadens de regno Dei. | In those days, It came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples. And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost. And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John's baptism. Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance, saying: That they should believe in him who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus. Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. And all the men were about twelve. And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God. | |||

| TRACT ¤ Ps. 116. 1, 2. | ||||
| Laudate Dominum, omnes gentes: et collaudate eum omnes populi. V.: Quoniam confirmata est super nos misericordia eius: et veritas Domini manet in aeternum. | O praise the Lord, all ye nations: and extol Him, all ye peoples. V.: For His mercy is confirmed upon us: and the truth of the Lord remaineth for ever. | |||

| GOSPEL ¤ John 14. 15-21. † Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to St. John † Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Ioannem. [Our Lord Jesus Christ assures His disciples that He will send to them the Paraclete.] |
||||
| In illo tempore: Dixit Iesus discipulis suis: Si diligitis me, mandata mea servate: et ego rogabo Patrem, et alium Paraclitum dabit vobis, ut maneat vobiscum in aeternum, Spiritum veritatis, quem mundus non potest accipere, quia non videt eum, nec scit eum: vos autem cognoscetis eum, quia apud vos manebit, et in vobis erit. Non relinquam vos orphanos: veniam ad vos. Adhuc modicum, et mundus me iam non videt. Vos autem videtis me: quia ego vivo, et vos vivetis. In illo die vos cognoscetis quia ego sum in Patre meo, et vos in me, et ego in vobis. Qui habet mandata mea, et servat ea: ille est qui diligit me. Qui autem diligit me, diligetur a Patre meo: et ego diligam eum, et manifestabo ei meipsum. | At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and He shall give you another Paraclete, that He may abide with you for ever. The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, nor knoweth Him: but you shall know Him; because He shall abide with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you. Yet a little while: and the world seeth Me no more. But you see Me: because I live, and you shall live. In that day you shall know, that I am in my Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them; he it is that loveth Me. And he that loveth Me, shall be loved of My Father: and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him. | |||
