Reading 1: Acts 14:5-18
Now when an assault had been planned by the Gentiles and the Jews with their leaders, so that they might treat them with contempt and stone them, they, realizing this, fled together to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the entire surrounding region. And they were evangelizing in that place.

And a certain man was sitting at Lystra, disabled in his feet, lame from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. This man heard Paul speaking. And Paul, gazing at him intently, and perceiving that he had faith, so that he might be healed, said with a loud voice, “Stand upright upon your feet!” And he leaped up and walked around. But when the crowds had seen what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice in the Lycaonian language, saying, “The gods, having taken the likenesses of men, have descended to us!” And they called Barnabas, ‘Jupiter,’ yet truly they called Paul, ‘Mercury,’ because he was the lead speaker. Also, the priest of Jupiter, who was outside the city, in front of the gate, bringing in oxen and garlands, was willing to offer sacrifice with the people.

And as soon as the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, had heard this, tearing their tunics, they leapt into the crowd, crying out and saying: “Men, why would you do this? We also are mortals, men like yourselves, preaching to you to be converted, from these vain things, to the living God, who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them. In previous generations, he permitted all nations to walk in their own ways. But certainly, he did not leave himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful seasons, filling their hearts with food and gladness.” And by saying these things, they were barely able to restrain the crowds from immolating to them.


Responsorial Psalm: Ps 115:1-2, 3-4, 15-16
R. (1ab) Not to us, O Lord, but to your name give the glory.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory. Give glory to your mercy and your truth, lest the Gentiles should say, “Where is their God?”
R. Not to us, O Lord, but to your name give the glory.

But our God is in heaven. All things whatsoever that he has willed, he has done. The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
R. Not to us, O Lord, but to your name give the glory.

Blessed are you by the Lord, who made heaven and earth. The heaven of heavens is for the Lord, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
R. Not to us, O Lord, but to your name give the glory.


Alleluia: Jn 14:26
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
The Holy Spirit will teach you everything
and remind you of all I told you.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.


Gospel: John 14:21-26
