8 A READING FROM THE BOOK OF ACTS Now the apostles and the believers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also accepted the word of God. So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him, saying, "Why did you go to uncircumcised men and eat with them?" Then Peter began to explain it to them, step by step, saying, "I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. There was something like a large sheet coming down from heaven, being lowered by its four corners; and it came close to me. As I looked at it closely I saw four-footed animals, beasts of prey, reptiles, and birds of the air. I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Get up, Peter; kill and eat.' But I replied, 'By no means, Lord; for nothing profane or unclean has ever entered my mouth.' But a second time the voice answered from heaven, 'What God has made clean, you must not call profane.' This happened three times; then everything was pulled up again to heaven. At that very moment three men, sent to me from Caesarea, arrived at the house where we were. The Spirit told me to go with them and not to make a distinction between them and us. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man's house. He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying, 'Send to Joppa and bring Simon, who is called Peter; he will give you a message by which you and your entire household will be saved.' And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them just as it had upon us at the beginning. And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said, 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.' If then God gave them the same gift that he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could hinder God?" When they heard this, they were silenced. And they praised God, saying, "Then APRIL 24,

9 God has given even to the Gentiles the repentance that leads to life." ACTS 11:1-18 A READING FROM THE REVELATION TO JOHN Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away." And the one who was seated on the throne said, "See, I am making all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true." Then he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life." REVELATION 21:1-6 THE HOLY GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO JOHN When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.' I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." JOHN 13:31-35 APRIL 24,

11 Psalm 148 Laudate Dominum. Chant by C. V. Stanford 1 O praise the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights. 2 Praise him, all ye angels of his: praise him, all his host. 3 Praise him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. 4 Praise him, all ye heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens. 5 Let them praise the Name of the Lord; for he commanded and they were created. 6 He hath made them fast for ever and ever: he hath given them a law which shall not be broken. 7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all deeps; 8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, wind and storm, fulfilling his word; 9 Mountains and all hills; fruitful trees and all cedars; 10 Beasts and all cattle; creeping things and feathered fowls; 11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes and all judges of the world; 12 Young men and maidens together; old men and children; 13 Let them praise the Name of the Lord; for his Name only is excellent, and his glory above heaven and earth. 14 He shall exalt the horn of his people; all his saints shall praise him: even the children of Israel, even the people that serveth him.
