11-MAY-2026 Readings
1ST READING: Acts 16:11-15
Setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi, which is the leading city of the district of Macedonia, and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days, and on the sabbath day, we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together. One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to listen to what was said by Paul. And when she was baptized, with her household, she begged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us.
The Word of The Lord!
Responsorial Psalm Psalm 149
📢 R. The Lord takes delight in his people. Or ALLELUIA.
Sing a new song to the Lord, his praise in the assembly of the faithful. Let Israel rejoice in its Maker; let Sion's children exult in their king.
R. The Lord takes delight in his people. Or ALLELUIA.
Let them praise his name with dancing, and make music with timbrel and harp. For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the poor with salvation.
R. The Lord takes delight in his people. Or ALLELUIA.
Let the faithful exult in glory, and rejoice as they take their rest. Let the praise of God be in their mouths. This is an honour for all his faithful.
R. The Lord takes delight in his people. Or ALLELUIA.
The Word of The Lord!
ACCLAMATION: John 15:26.27
R. ALLELUIA.
The Spirit of truth will bear witness to me, says the Lord; and you also are witnesses.
R. ALLELUIA.
GOSPEL John 15:26-16:4
At that time: Jesus said to his disciples, "When the Counsellor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me; and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning. "I have said all this to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you of them."
The Gospel of The Lord!
Reflection:
Pope Francis in his Apostolic Exhortation, "The Joy of the GOSPEL" tells us that, "every Christian is challenged, here and now, to be actively engaged in evangelization." Today, Christ instructs His disciples to announce the good news, reassuring them that the Holy Spirit will support them in giving witness to that good news. Despite the difficulties and persecution that will accompany that mission, they will surely stand their ground because they have a solid foundation. When you walk in the way of Christ, honesty, sincerity, purity of life, and peace become part of you. Don't forget that the world will listen more to you if you are a living witness. The light of the Spirit will always attract. Jesus, I trust in you.

09-МАЯ-2026 Чтения

1-Й ЧТЕНИЕ: Деяния 16:1-10

В те дни: Павел пришёл в Дербу и Листру. Там был ученик по имени Тимофей, сын еврейской женщины, верующей; но его отец был греком. О нём хорошо говорили братья в Листре и Иконии. Павел хотел, чтобы Тимофей пошёл с ним; и он взял его и обрезал его из-за евреев, которые были в тех местах, потому что все знали, что его отец был греком. Когда они шли по городам, они передавали им для соблюдения решения, которые были достигнуты апостолами и старейшинами, находившимися в Иерусалиме. Так церкви укреплялись в вере и ежедневно увеличивались в численности. И они проходили через регион Фригия и Галатии, им было запрещено Святым Духом говорить слово в Азии. И когда они подошли к Мисии, они попытались войти в Вифинию, но Дух Иисуса не позволил им; и, пройдя мимо Мисии, они спустились в Троаду. И видение появилось Павлу ночью: человек из Македонии стоял и умолял его, говоря: "Приди в Македонию и помоги нам." И когда он увидел видение, мы тотчас искали идти в Македонию, заключив, что Бог призвал нас проповедовать им Евангелие.

EASTER WEEK 5 FRIDAY
08-MAY-2026 Readings
1ST READING: Acts 15:22-31
In those days: It seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole Church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren, with the following letter: "The brethren, both the apostles and the elders, to the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting. Since we have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your mind with what they said. So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— ‭ men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from unchastity. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell." So when they were sent off, they went down to Antioch; and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter. And when they read it, they rejoiced at the exhortation.
The Word of The Lord!
Responsorial Psalm Psalm 57
📢 R. I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples. Or ALLELUIA.
My heart is ready, O God; my heart is ready. I will sing, I will sing your praise. Awake, my soul! Awake, lyre and harp! I will awaken the dawn.
R. I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples. Or ALLELUIA.
I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples, among the nations sing psalms to you, for your mercy reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may your glory shine on all the earth!
R. I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples. Or ALLELUIA.
The Word of The Lord!
ACCLAMATION: John 15:15
R. ALLELUIA.
I have called you friends, says the Lord, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
R. ALLELUIA.
GOSPEL John 15:12-17
At that time: Jesus said to his disciples, "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. This I command you, to love one another."
The Gospel of The Lord!
Reflection:
Howard Hendricks says, "Two things will mostly influence where you will be ten years from now: the books you read, and the friends you make." By far the most important friend you can have is the Lord Jesus. Though Jesus is the disciples' Lord and teacher, He still calls them His friends. To be a friend of Christ, we must love one another just as He loved us. We must also obey His commandments. The friends of Jesus are chosen by Him to bear fruit that lasts, as they depend upon Him through prayer. The friends of Christ are called to make their lives living Bibles. "Preach the good news always. If necessary, use words." Jesus, I trust in you.

HEASTER WEEK 5 THURSDAY

07-MAY-2026 Readings

1ST READING: Acts 15:7-21

In those days: After there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to the apostles and the elders, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God chose you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us; and he made no distinction between them and us, but cleansed their hearts by faith. Now therefore, why do you make trial of God by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the  Lord  Jesus, just as they will." And all the assembly kept silence; and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. After they finished speaking, James replied, "Brethren, listen to me. Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. And with this the words of the prophets agree, as it is written, 'After this I will return, and I will rebuild the dwelling of David, which has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up, that the rest of men may seek the  Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the  Lord, who has made these things known from of old. Therefore, I judge that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God, but should write to them to abstain from the pollutions of idols and from unchastity and from what is strangled and from blood. From early generations, Moses has had in every city those who preach him, for he is read every sabbath in the synagogues."

The Word of The Lord!

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 96

📢  R. Tell among all the peoples the wonders of the  Lord. Or ALLELUIA.

O sing a new song to the  Lord; sing to the  Lord, all the earth. O sing to the  Lord; bless his name.

R. Tell among all the peoples the wonders of the  Lord. Or ALLELUIA.

Proclaim his salvation day by day. Tell among the nations his glory, and his wonders among all the peoples.

*R. Tell among all the peoples the wonders of the  Lord. Or ALLELUIA.*

Say to the nations, 'The  Lord is king. The world he made firm in its place; he will judge the peoples in fairness.

*R. Tell among all the peoples the wonders of the  Lord. Or ALLELUIA.*

The Word of The Lord!

ACCLAMATION: John 10:27

R. ALLELUIA.

My sheep hear my voice, says the  Lord; and I know them, and they follow me.

R. ALLELUIA.

GOSPEL John 15:9-11

At that time:  Jesus said to his disciples, "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full."

The Gospel of The Lord!

Reflection:

Though we cannot fathom the depth of the Father's love for  Jesus, yet we see this love explicitly expressed in the GOSPELs during Baptism and Transfiguration.  Jesus today says He loves us just as the Father loves Him and He expresses it so plainly on Calvary.  Jesus is therefore inviting us into a relationship of love between the Father and Himself. To receive this love, we must spend quality time with  Jesus by praying every day. We must participate in the daily Eucharistic celebration and must also feed on the word of God by reading the scripture. "Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ." Jesus, I trust in you.

---
I. SHORT SERMON: "TAKING BACK YOUR DOMINION" - 15 mins

- By the Word: Joshua 1:8 — This book of the law shall not depart... then thou shalt have good success
- By Faith: 1 John 5:4 — "This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith"
- By the Name: Philippians 2:10 — At the name of Jesus every knee should bow
- By the Spirit: Romans 8:37 — "In all these things we are more than conquerors through him"
You don’t beg for dominion. You enforce it.
---
II. PRAYER SESSION: ENFORCING DOMINION

EASTER WEEK 5 TUESDAY

05-MAY-2026 Readings

1ST READING: Acts 14:19-28

In those days: Jews came [to Lystra) from Antioch and Iconium; and having persuaded the people, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead. But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose and entered the city; and on the next day, he went on with Barnabas to Derbe. When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the  Lord in whom they believed. Then they passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia. And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia; and from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled. And when they arrived, they gathered the church together and declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. And they remained no little time with the disciples.

The Word of The Lord!

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 145

📢  R. Your friends make known, O  Lord, the glory of your reign. Or ALLELUIA.

All your works shall thank you, O  Lord, and all your faithful ones bless you. They shall speak of the glory of your reign, and declare your mighty deeds.

R. Your friends make known, O  Lord, the glory of your reign. Or ALLELUIA.

They shall make known your might to the children of men, and the glorious splendour of your reign. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; your rule endures for all generations.

*R. Your friends make known, O  Lord, the glory of your reign. Or ALLELUIA.*

Let my mouth speak the praise of the  Lord; let all flesh bless his holy name forever, for ages unending.

R. Your friends make known, O  Lord, the glory of your reign. Or ALLELUIA.

The Word of The Lord!

ACCLAMATION: Luke 24:46.26

R. ALLELUIA.

Christ had to suffer and to rise from the dead, and so enter into his glory.

R. ALLELUIA.

GOSPEL John 14:27-31

At that time:  Jesus said to his disciples, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, 'I go away, and I will come to you. If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place, you may believe. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me; but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father.

The Gospel of The Lord!

Reflection:

There's no greater gift for the anxious heart than the peace of God. This peace is not escapism, avoiding trouble, refusing to face things, or denying problems. This peace doesn't come through pleasure. "The flesh will make you hungry where it satisfies you most." It is the King of peace who assures us of security, covering, and protection even in the midst of storms. It is a peace that keeps our hearts at rest even in the midst of the troubles, persecutions, and problems of life. Today,  Jesus assures us that He is with us. No matter how turbulent your life is presently, just put your hand into the hand of God. Jesus, I trust in you.

 

EASTER WEEK 5 MONDAY

04-MAY-2026 Readings

1ST READING: Acts 14:5-18

In those days: When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to molest Paul and Barnabas and to stone them, they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country; and there they preached the gospel. Now at Lystra there was a man sitting, who could not use his feet; he was a cripple from birth, who had never walked. He listened to Paul speaking; and Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be made well, said in a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." And he sprang up and walked. And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted their voices, saying in Lycaonian, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!" Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, because he was the chief speaker, they called Hermes. And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and wanted to offer a sacrifice with the people. But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their garments and rushed out among the multitude, crying, "Men, why are you doing this? We also are men, of like nature with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them. In past generations he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways; yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness." With these words, they scarcely restrained the people from offering sacrifice to them.

The Word of The Lord!

Responsorial Psalm 115:1-4,15-16

📢  R. Not to us, O  Lord, but to your name give the glory. Or ALLELUIA.

Not to us, O  Lord, not to us, but to your name give the glory, for your merciful love and fidelity. Why should the nations say: 'Where is their God?'

R. Not to us, O  Lord, but to your name give the glory. Or ALLELUIA.

But our God is in the heavens; he does whatever he wills. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.

R. Not to us, O  Lord, but to your name give the glory. Or ALLELUIA.

May you be blest by the  Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. The heavens, the heavens belong to the  Lord, but to the children of men, he has given the earth.

R. Not to us, O  Lord, but to your name give the glory. Or ALLELUIA.

The Word of The Lord!

ACCLAMATION: John 14:26

R. ALLELUIA.

The Holy Spirit will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

R. ALLELUIA.

GOSPEL John 14:21-26

At that time:  Jesus said to his disciples, "He who has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him." Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, " Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?"  Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me does not keep my words; and the word which you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me. "These things I have spoken to you, while I am still with you. But the Counsellor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

The Gospel of The Lord!

Reflection:

Angels fly, not because they have six wings, but because they obey. 1 Sam 15:22 says, "Obedience is better than sacrifice." It takes love to obey. St Augustine would say, "Love God and do what you want." Loving  Jesus is not the same as keeping His commandments. It precedes and gives rise to keeping the commandments. Whoever loves God obeys His teaching. It's that simple. So, we are called to go back to our identity with Christ to remind ourselves of who we are, to whom we belong, and who is within us, and we will immediately find love, motivation, and power to obediently love God and love our neighbours. Jesus, I trust in you.

          

ЧЕТВЕРТАЯ СУББОТА ПАСХАЛЬНОЙ НЕДЕЛИ

02-МАЯ-2026 Чтения

1-Е ЧТЕНИЕ: Деяния 13:44-52

На следующую субботу почти весь город собрался, чтобы услышать слово Божье. Но когда евреи увидели толпы, их наполнила зависть, и они противоречили тому, что говорил Павел, и оскорбляли его. И Павел с Варнавой смело сказали: "Необходимо было сначала говорить вам слово Божье. Поскольку вы отвергли его и судите себя недостойными вечной жизни, вот, мы обращаемся к язычникам. Ибо так заповедал нам Господь, говоря: 'Я поставил тебя светом для язычников, чтобы ты принес спасение до края земли.'" И когда язычники это услышали, они обрадовались и прославили слово Божье; и сколько было предопределено к вечной жизни, поверили. И слово Господа распространялось по всей области. Но евреи возбудили благочестивых женщин из высшего сословия и ведущих мужчин города и подняли гонение на Павла и Варнаву, и выгнали их из своего округа. Но они стряхнули пыль с ног своих против них и пошли в Иконий. И ученики были наполнены радостью и Святым Духом.

1 ЧТЕНИЕ: Деяния 13:26-33

В те дни: [Когда Павел пришел в Антиохию Писидийскую, он сказал в синагоге,] "Братья, сыны семьи Авраама, и те из вас, кто боится Бога, к нам было отправлено послание этой спасительной торговли. Ведь те, кто живет в Иерусалиме и их правители, потому что не узнали его и не поняли высказываний пророков, которые читаются каждую субботу, исполнили это, осудив его. Хотя они не могли обвинить его ни в чем, достойном смерти, они попросили Пилата, чтобы его убили. И когда они исполнили все, что было о нем написано, они сняли его с дерева и положили в гроб. Но Бог воскресил его из мертвых; и многие дни он являлся тем, кто пришел с ним из Галилеи в Иерусалим, которые теперь являются его свидетелями для народа. И мы приносим вам хорошие новости о том, что Бог обещал отцам, это он исполнил для нас, их детей, воскресив Иисуса; как также написано во втором псалме: 'Ты мой Сын, сегодня я родил тебя.

READING I Acts 1:12-14

[After  Jesus was taken up into heaven,] the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day's journey away; and when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. All these with one accord devoted themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of  Jesus, and with his brethren.

GOSPEL John 2:1-11

At that time: There was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of  Jesus was there;  Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples. When the wine failed, the mother of  Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." And  Jesus said to her, "O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come." His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.  Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast." So they took it. When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom and said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first; and when men have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now." This, the first of his signs,  Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

The Gospel of The Lord!

Reflection:

Life without  Jesus is no life! Everything becomes dark, dreadful, and stormy. The crisis today is the unflinching attempt to evict Christ from the rocking boat of our existence. The plethora of catastrophes is indicative of the continual attempts to relegate  Jesus to the background. The more we insist on rejecting Him and His ways, the more we sink into frustration. Our lives will be characterised by emptiness, unhappiness, illness, and varying degrees of misery. In  Jesus alone can we attain our life's purpose. He is the Author of all things and wields absolute power over nature and the world. He is the true peace and joy-giver. His presence calms every fear, anxiety, turbulence, and depression. We must accept Him to fill our lives with happiness. Jesus, I trust in you.

1ST READING: Acts 12:24-13:5

In those days: The word of God grew and multiplied. And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their mission, bringing with them John whose other name was Mark. Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. While they were worshiping the  Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off. So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus. When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews.

The Word of The Lord!

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 67

📢  R. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! or ALLELUIA.

O God, be gracious and bless us and let your face shed its light upon us. So will your ways be known upon earth and all nations learn your salvation.

R. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! or ALLELUIA.

Let the nations be glad and shout for joy, with uprightness you rule the peoples; you guide the nations on earth.

R. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! or ALLELUIA.

Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you. May God still give us his blessing that all the ends of the earth may revere him.

R. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! or ALLELUIA.

The Word of The Lord!

ACCLAMATION: John 8:12

R. ALLELUIA.

I am the light of the world, says the  Lord; he who follows me will have the light of life.

R. ALLELUIA.

GOSPEL John 12:44-50

At that time:  Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. And he who sees me sees him who sent me. I have come as light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. If any one hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings has a judge; the word that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day. For I have not spoken on my own authority; the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has bidden me."

The Gospel of The Lord!

Reflection:

The words of the Popes:

Jesus promised he would give everyone “rest”, but on one condition: “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart”. What is this “yoke” which lightens instead of burdening, which instead of oppressing, uplifts? The “yoke” of Christ is the law of love, it is his commandment which he bequeathed to his disciples (cf. Jn 13:34; 15:12). The true remedy for humanity's wounds, both material — such as hunger and injustice in all its forms — and psychological and moral, caused by a false well-being, is a rule of life based on fraternal love, whose source is in the love of God. For this reason it is necessary to abandon the way of arrogance, of violence used to obtain ever more powerful positions, to assure oneself of success at any price. It is also necessary to give up the aggressive attitude with regard to the environment which has prevailed in recent centuries and to adopt a reasonable “gentleness”. However, in human, interpersonal and social relations above all, the rule of respect and of non-violence, namely, the power of the truth against every kind of abuse is what can assure a future worthy of the human being. Jesus, I trust in you.

ЧТЕНИЕ I 1 Петра 5:5-14

Дорогие: Одевайтесь все в смирение друг к другу, потому что "Бог противится гордым, но дает благодать смиренным." Смиряйтесь, следовательно, под могучую руку Бога, чтобы в своё время Он мог возвысить вас. Бросьте все ваши тревоги на Него, потому что Он заботится о вас. Будьте трезвыми, будьте бдительными. Ваш противник, дьявол, ходит, как рыкающий лев, ища кого поглотить. Противостоите ему, стойкие в вашей вере, зная, что такие же страдания требуются от вашего братства по всему миру. И после того, как вы немного пострадаете, Бог всей благодати, который призвал вас к своей вечной славе во Христе, сам восстановит, утвердит и укрепит вас. Ему да будет владычество во веки веков. Аминь. Через Силуана, верного брата, как я его считаю, я кратко написал вам, увещевая и заявляя, что это истинная благодать Божья; стойте в ней. Та, которая в Вавилоне, также избранная, посылает вам привет; также и мой сын Марк. Приветствуйте друг друга поцелуем любви. Мир всем вам, кто во Христе.

1-е ЧТЕНИЕ: Деяния 9:1-20

В те дни: Саул, все еще дышащий угрозами и убийствами против учеников Господа, пошел к первосвященнику и попросил у него письма в синагоги Дамаска, чтобы, если он найдет кого-либо из Последователей, мужчин или женщин, он мог привести их связаными в Иерусалим. Теперь, когда он путешествовал, он приблизился к Дамаску, и вдруг свет с небес осиял его. Он упал на землю и услышал голос, говорящий ему: "Саул, Саул, почему ты гонишь меня?" И он сказал: "Кто ты, Господи?" И он сказал: "Я Иисус, которого ты гоните; но встань и войди в город, и тебе скажут, что ты должен делать." Мужчины, путешествовавшие с ним, стояли в недоумении, слыша голос, но никого не видя. Саул встал с земли; и когда его глаза открылись, он не мог ничего видеть; поэтому они вели его за руку и привели в Дамаск. И в течение трех дней он был без зрения и не ел, ни пил. Теперь в Дамаске был ученик по имени Анания. Господь сказал ему в видении: "Анания." Он сказал: "Вот я, Господи." И Господь сказал ему: "Встань и иди на улицу, называемую Прямой, и спроси в доме Иуды о человеке из Тарса по имени Саул; ибо вот, он молится, и он видел мужчину по имени Анания, входящего и возлагающего на него руки, чтобы он мог восстановить зрение." Но Анания ответил: "Господи, я слышал от многих об этом человеке, сколько зла он сделал святым твоим в Иерусалиме; и вот, у него есть власть от первосвященников связать всех, кто призывает имя твое." Но Господь сказал ему: "Иди, ибо он мой избранный инструмент, чтобы нести имя мое перед язычниками и царями и сынами Израиля; ибо я покажу ему, сколько он должен пострадать ради имени моего." Так Анания ушел и вошел в дом. И, положив на него руки, он сказал: "Брат Саул, Господь Иисус, явившийся тебе на пути, по которому ты пришел, послал меня, чтобы ты мог восстановить зрение и быть исполненным Святым Духом." И сразу что-то вроде чешуи упало с его глаз, и он восстановил зрение. Затем он встал и был крещен, и принял пищу и укрепился. В течение нескольких дней он был с учениками в Дамаске. И в синагогах он сразу же провозгласил Иисуса, говоря: "Он Сын Божий."

1-е ЧТЕНИЕ: Деяния 8:26-40

В те дни: Ангел Господа сказал Филиппу: "Встань и иди на юг к дороге, которая ведет от Иерусалима к Газе." Это пустынная дорога. И он встал и пошел. И вот, Эфиоплянин, евнух, министр Канди, королевы Эфиоплян, который был ответственен за все ее сокровища, пришел в Иерусалим, чтобы поклониться, и возвращался; сидя в своей колеснице, он читал пророка Исайю. И Дух сказал Филиппу: "Подойди и присоединись к этой колеснице." Филипп побежал к нему и услышал, как он читает пророка Исайю, и спросил: "Понимаешь ли ты, что читаешь?" Он ответил: "Как могу, если кто-то не укажет мне?" И он пригласил Филиппа подняться и сесть с ним. Теперь отрывок из писания, который он читал, был таков: "Как овца, веденная на заклание, и как агнец перед стригущим его безмолвен, так Он не отверзал Своего рта. В унижении Его суд был отвергнут. Кто может описать Его род? Ибо жизнь Его взята от земли." И евнух сказал Филиппу: "О ком, прошу, говорит пророк, о себе или о ком-то другом?" Тогда Филипп открыл уста свои и, начав с этого писания, рассказал ему благую весть о Иисусе. И когда они шли по дороге, они пришли к воде, и евнух сказал: "Смотри, вот вода! Что препятствует мне креститься?" И он приказал колеснице остановиться, и они оба сошли в воду, Филипп и евнух, и он крестил его. И когда они вышли из воды, Дух Господа восхитил Филиппа; и евнух уже не видел его и продолжал свой путь, радуясь. А Филиппа нашли в Азоте, и проходя, он благовествовал евангелие всем городам, пока не пришел в Кесарию.

1-Е ЧТЕНИЕ: Деяния 8:1-8
В тот день началось великое преследование церкви в Иерусалиме; и все они были рассеяны по всей области Иудеи и Самарии, кроме апостолов. Благочестивые люди похоронили Стефана и сильно оплакивали его. Но Савл разорял церковь, входя из дома в дом, он увлекал мужчин и женщин и бросал их в тюрьму. Теперь те, кто были рассеяны, ходили и проповедовали слово. Филипп спустился в город Самарии и возвещал им Христа. И массы с единодушием внимали тому, что говорил Филипп, когда слышали его и видели знамения, которые он творил. Ибо нечистые духи выходили из многих, одержимых, крича громким голосом; и многие, кто был парализован или хромал, исцелились. Так что в том городе было много радости.

1 ЧТЕНИЕ: Деяния 6:8-15

В те дни: Стефан, полный благодати и силы, творил великие чудеса и знамения среди народа. Тогда некоторые из тех, кто принадлежал синагоге Освобожденных (как ее называли), и киренейцы, и александрийцы, и те, кто из Киликии и Азии, восстали и спорили со Стефаном. Но они не могли противостоять мудрости и Духу, которым он говорил. Тогда они тайно подстрекали людей, которые сказали: "Мы слышали, как он говорит богохульные слова против Моисея и Бога." И они возбудили народ и старейшин и книжников, и они подошли к нему и схватили его и привели его к совету, и выставили ложных свидетелей, которые сказали: "Этот человек никогда не прекращает говорить слова против этого святого места и закона; ибо мы слышали, как он говорит, что этот Иисус из Назарета разрушит это место и изменит обычаи, которые Моисей передал нам." И, глядя на него, все, кто сидел в совете, увидели, что его лицо было как лицо ангела.
