First
Reading Ref: Acts 4:8-12
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles
Filled with the Holy Spirit, Peter said: Rulers of the people,
and elders! If you are questioning us today about an act of kindness
to a cripple, and asking us how he was healed, then I am glad
to tell you all, and would indeed be glad to tell the whole people
of Israel, that it was by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene,
the one you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by this
name and by no other that this man is able to stand up perfectly
healthy, here in your presence, today. This is the stone rejected
by you the builders, but which has proved to be the keystone.
For of all the names in the world given to men, this is the only
one by which we can be saved.
This is the word of the Lord.
Responsorial Psalm
The stone which the builders rejected has become the corner stone.
Alleluia!
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good,
for his love has no end.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in men:
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes. (R)
I will thank you for you have given answers
and you are my saviour.
The stone which the builders rejected has become the corner stone.
This is the work of the Lord,
a marvel in our eyes. (R)
Blessed in the name of the Lord
is he who comes.
We bless you from the house of the Lord
I will thank you for you have given answer
and you are my saviour.
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good;
for his love has no end. (R)
Second Reading Ref: 1 John 3:1-2
A reading from the first letter of St. John
Think of the love that the Father has lavished on us,
by letting us be called God's children;
and that is what we are.
Because the world refused to acknowledge him,
therefore it does not acknowledge us.
My dear people, we are already the children of God
but what we are to be in the future has not yet been revealed;
all we know is, that when it is revealed
we shall be like him
because we shall see him as he really is. This is the word of
the Lord.
Gospel Acclamation
Alleluia, alleluia!
I am the good shepherd, says the Lord;
I know my own sheep and my own know me.
Alleluia!
Gospel Ref: John 10:11-18
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John
Jesus said:
"I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd is one who lays
down his life for his sheep.
The hired man, since he is not the shepherd and the sheep do not
belong to him, abandons the sheep and runs away as soon as he
sees a wolf coming, and then the wolf attacks and scatters the
sheep; this is because he is only a hired man and has no concern
for the sheep. I am the good shepherd;
I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me
and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for my sheep.
And there are other sheep I have that are not of this fold, and
these I have to lead as well. They too will listen to my voice,
and there will be only one flock, and 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; I lay it down of my own free will, and
as it is in my power to lay it down, so it is in my power to take
it up again; and this is the command I have been given by my Father.'
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Reflection - The Rosary:
2nd Glorious Mystery
The Ascension
Jesus was taken up before the disciple's eyes and a cloud hid
him from their sight. Suddenly two men dressed in white stood
beside them and said, "Men of Galilee why do you stand here
looking up at the sky?" This Jesus, who has been taken from
you into heaven, will return in the same way as you have seen
him go there".
In the Ascension, Christ was raised in glory to the right hand
of the father, while Mary herself would be raised to that same
glory in the Assumption, enjoying beforehand, by a unique privilege,
the destiny reserved for all the just at the resurrection of the
dead.
On this vocations Sunday let us offer up this mystery of the Rosary
for an increase in vocations to the Priesthood & Religious
Life. That the ascended Christ may always have faithful Priests,
Brothers & Nuns to spread the message of the Gospel at home
and abroad.

exile is ending, The Time is at hand to rejoice."
