Psalm

Psalms 92:4-5

4For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands.5O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep.

Gospel

John 6:15-22

15Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.16Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,17got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them.18Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing.19So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid.20But He said to them, It is I; do not be afraid.21Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.22On the following day, when the people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone--

Gospel

Matthew 28:16-20

16Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.17When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.18And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.19Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,20teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.

Romans 5:6-21

6For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.8But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.9Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.10For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.11And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.12Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned--13(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.15But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.16And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.17For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)18Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.19For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.20Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,21so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Catholic

1 Peter 4:1-11

1Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,2that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.3For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles--when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.4In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.5They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.6For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.7But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.8And above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins.9Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.10As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.11If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Acts

Acts 10:34-43

34Then Peter opened his mouth and said: In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.35But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.36The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ--He is Lord of all--37that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:38how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.39And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree.40Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly,41not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.42And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.43To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.

Psalm

Psalms 105:3-5

3Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!4Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore!5Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,

Gospel

Mark 16:9-20

9Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.10She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept.11And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.12After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country.13And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.14Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.15And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.16He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.17And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;18they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.19So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.20And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
