Reading 1
After
Paul and Barnabas had proclaimed the good news
to that city
and made a considerable
number of disciples,
they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to
Antioch.
They strengthened the spirits
of the disciples
and exhorted them to
persevere in the faith, saying,
“It is necessary for us to
undergo many hardships
to enter the kingdom of God.”
They appointed elders for
them in each church and,
with prayer and fasting,
commended them to the Lord
in whom they had put their
faith.
Then they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.
After proclaiming the word at
Perga they went down to Attalia.
From there they sailed to
Antioch,
where they had been commended
to the grace of God
for the work they had now
accomplished.
And when they arrived, they
called the church together
and reported what God had
done with them
and how he had opened the
door of faith to the Gentiles.

Reading 2
Then I, John, saw a new
heaven and a new earth.
The former heaven and the
former earth had passed away,
and the sea was no more.
I also saw the holy city, a
new Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven
from God,
prepared as a bride adorned
for her husband.
I heard a loud voice from the
throne saying,
“Behold, God’s dwelling is
with the human race.
He will dwell with them and
they will be his people
and God himself will always
be with them as their God.
He will wipe every tear from
their eyes,
and there shall be no more
death or mourning, wailing or pain,
for the old order has passed
away.”
The One who sat on the throne
said,
“Behold, I make all things
new.”
Gospel
When Judas had left them,
Jesus said,
“Now is the Son of Man
glorified, and God is glorified in him.
If God is glorified in him,
God will also glorify him in
himself,
and God will glorify him at
once.
My children, I will be with
you only a little while longer.
I give you a new commandment:
love one another.
As I have loved you, so you
also should love one another.
This is how all will know
that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.”
