Tuesday of the Seventh Week of Easter
Reading 1
From
Miletus Paul had the presbyters
of the
Church at Ephesus summoned.
When
they came to him, he addressed them,
“You
know how I lived among you
the whole
time from the day I first came to the province of Asia.
I
served the Lord with all humility
and with
the tears and trials that came to me
because
of the plots of the Jews,
and I did
not at all shrink from telling you
what was
for your benefit,
or from
teaching you in public or in your homes.
I
earnestly bore witness for both Jews and Greeks
to
repentance before God and to faith in our Lord Jesus.
But
now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem.
What
will happen to me there I do not know,
except
that in one city after another
the Holy
Spirit has been warning me
that
imprisonment and hardships await me.
Yet
I consider life of no importance to me,
if only I
may finish my course
and the
ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus,
to bear
witness to the Gospel of God’s grace.
“But
now I know that none of you
to whom I
preached the kingdom during my travels
will ever
see my face again.
And
so I solemnly declare to you this day
that I am
not responsible for the blood of any of you,
for I did not shrink from proclaiming to you the entire
plan of God.”
Responsorial Psalm
R.
(33a) Sing to God, O
kingdoms of the earth.

A
bountiful rain you showered down, O God, upon your inheritance;
you
restored the land when it languished;
Your
flock settled in it;
in your
goodness, O God, you provided it for the needy.
R.
Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth.
or:
R.
Alleluia.
Blessed
day by day be the Lord,
who bears
our burdens; God, who is our salvation.
God
is a saving God for us;
the LORD,
my Lord, controls the passageways of death.

Gospel
Jesus
raised his eyes to heaven and said,
“Father,
the hour has come.
Give
glory to your son, so that your son may glorify you,
just as
you gave him authority over all people,
so that
your son may give eternal life to all you gave him.
Now
this is eternal life,
that they
should know you, the only true God,
and the one
whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
I
glorified you on earth
by
accomplishing the work that you gave me to do.
Now
glorify me, Father, with you,
with the
glory that I had with you before the world began.
“I
revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world.
They
belonged to you, and you gave them to me,
and they
have kept your word.
Now
they know that everything you gave me is from you,
because
the words you gave to me I have given to them,
and they
accepted them and truly understood that I came from you,
and they
have believed that you sent me.
I
pray for them.
I do
not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me,
because
they are yours, and everything of mine is yours
and
everything of yours is mine,
and I
have been glorified in them.
And
now I will no longer be in the world,
but they are in the world, while I am coming to you.”
