Today's Catholic Mass Readings & Gospel Reflection - Wednesday, April 17, 2024

Reading 1: Acts 8:1b-8
Resp: Ps 66:1-3a, 4-5, 6-7a
Gospel: John 6:35-40

Wednesday of the Third Week of Easter
Lectionary: 275

Reading 1: Acts 8:1b-8
There occurred a great persecution against the Church at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the Apostles. But God-fearing men arranged for Stephen’s funeral, and they made a great mourning over him. Then Saul was laying waste to the Church by entering throughout the houses, and dragging away men and women, and committing them to prison.

Therefore, those who had been dispersed were traveling around, evangelizing the Word of God. Now Philip, descending to a city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them. And the crowd was listening intently and with one accord to those things which were being said by Philip, and they were watching the signs which he was accomplishing. For many of them had unclean spirits, and, crying out with a loud voice, these departed from them. And many of the paralytics and the lame were cured. Therefore, there was great gladness in that city.


Responsorial Psalm: Ps 66:1-3a, 4-5, 6-7a
R. (1) Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Shout with joy to God, all the earth, Sing a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise. Say to God, "How awesome are your works, O Lord!"
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Let all the earth adore you, and sing to you; let it sing a psalm to your name.
Come and see the works of God; who is awesome in his dealings with the sons of men.
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Who turns the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass on foot: there we shall rejoice in him. Who by his power rules forever.
R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.



Alleluia: See Jn 6:40
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Everyone who believes in the Son has eternal life,
and I shall raise him on the last day, says the Lord.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.


Gospel: John 6:35-40
Then Jesus said to them: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. But I say to you, that even though you have seen me, you do not believe. All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out. For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day. So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
