Saturday of the 6th week of Eastertide ![]() St. Isidore Church (location unknown) Readings at MassLiturgical Colour: White.
Apollos demonstrated from the scriptures that Jesus was the ChristPaul came down to Antioch, where he spent a short time before continuing his journey through the Galatian country and then through Phrygia, encouraging all the followers. An Alexandrian Jew named Apollos now arrived in Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, with a sound knowledge of the scriptures, and yet, though he had been given instruction in the Way of the Lord and preached with great spiritual earnestness and was accurate in all the details he taught about Jesus, he had only experienced the baptism of John. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him speak boldly in the synagogue, they took an interest in him and gave him further instruction about the Way. When Apollos thought of crossing over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote asking the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived there he was able by God’s grace to help the believers considerably by the energetic way he refuted the Jews in public and demonstrated from the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
God is king of all the earth. or Alleluia! All peoples, clap your hands, cry to God with shouts of joy! For the Lord, the Most High, we must fear, great king over all the earth. God is king of all the earth. or Alleluia! God is king of all the earth, sing praise with all your skill. God is king over the nations; God reigns on his holy throne. God is king of all the earth. or Alleluia! The princes of the people are assembled with the people of Abraham’s God. The rulers of the earth belong to God, to God who reigns over all. God is king of all the earth. or Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia! I shall ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you for ever. Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia! I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I leave the world to go to the Father. Alleluia!
The Father loves you for loving me and believing that I came from GodJesus said to his disciples: ‘I tell you most solemnly, anything you ask for from the Father he will grant in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and so your joy will be complete. I have been telling you all this in metaphors, the hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in metaphors; but tell you about the Father in plain words. When that day comes you will ask in my name; and I do not say that I shall pray to the Father for you, because the Father himself loves you for loving me and believing that I came from God. I came from the Father and have come into the world and now I leave the world to go to the Father.’ The readings on this page are from the Jerusalem Bible, which is used at Mass in most of the English-speaking world.
