*Ps 67:8-9*
O God, when You went forth at the head of Your people, making a passage for them, dwelling in their midst, alleluia: the earth quaked; it rained from heaven, alleluia, alleluia.
*Ps 67:2*
God arises; His enemies are scattered, and those who hate Him flee before Him.
Glory Be to the Father…
O God, when You went forth at the head of Your people, making a passage for them, dwelling in their midst, alleluia: the earth quaked; it rained from heaven, alleluia, alleluia.
May the Paraclete Who proceeds from You, enlighten our minds, we beseech You, O Lord, and guide us to all truth, as Your Son has promised.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father…
Lesson from the Acts of Apostles
*Acts 5:12-16*
In those days, by the hands of the Apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And with one accord they all would meet in Solomon’s portico; but of the rest, no one dared to associate with them, yet the people made much of them. And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord increased still more, so that they carried the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and pallets that, when Peter passed, his shadow at least might fall on some of them. And there came also multitudes from the towns near Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those troubled with unclean spirits, and they were all cured.
Alleluia, alleluia.
℣. (Kneel.) Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful; and kindle in them the fire of Your love.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John
*John 6:44-52.*
At that time, Jesus said to the Jews: No one can come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me draw him, and I will raise him up on the last day. It is written in the Prophets, “And they all shall be taught of God.” Everyone who has listened to the Father, and has learned, comes to Me; not that anyone has seen the Father except Him Who is from God, He has seen the Father. Amen, amen, I say to you, he who believes in Me has life everlasting. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the desert, and have died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that if anyone eat of it he will not die. I am the living bread that has come down from heaven. If anyone eat of this bread he shall live forever; and the bread that I will give is My flesh for the life of the world.
*Ps 118:47-48*
I will delight in Your commands, which I love exceedingly. And I will lift up my hands to Your commands, which I love. Alleluia.
Accept, we beseech You, O Lord, the gifts we offer, and graciously bring it about that we may practice by a holy life what we perform here by a sacred rite.
Through our Lord…
*Holy Spirit*
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God: through Christ our Lord. Who ascending above all in the heavens and sitting at Thy Right Hand, poured out the Holy Spirit upon the children of adoption. Wherefore the whole world doth rejoice with overflowing joy; and the heavenly Hosts also and the angelic Powers sing together the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
*John 14:27.*
Peace I leave with you, alleluia; My peace I give to you, alleluia, alleluia.
