Monday of the Sixth Week of Easter
Reading 1
We
set sail from Troas, making a straight run for Samothrace,
and on
the next day to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi,
a leading
city in that district of Macedonia and a Roman colony.
We
spent some time in that city.
On
the sabbath we went outside
the city gate along the river
where we
thought there would be a place of prayer.
We
sat and spoke with the women who had gathered there.
One
of them, a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth,
from the
city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, listened,
and the
Lord opened her heart to pay attention
to what
Paul was saying.
After
she and her household had been baptized,
she
offered us an invitation,
“If
you consider me a believer in the Lord,
come and stay at my home,” and she prevailed on us.

Gospel
Jesus
said to his disciples:
“When
the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father,
the
Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father,
he will
testify to me.
And
you also testify,
because
you have been with me from the beginning.
“I
have told you this so that you may not fall away.
They
will expel you from the synagogues;
in fact,
the hour is coming when everyone who kills you
will
think he is offering worship to God.
They
will do this because they have not known either the Father or me.
I
have told you this so that when their hour comes
you may remember that I told you.”
