Acts 12:24--13:5

12
24But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their mission, bringing with them John whose other name was Mark.
13
1Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Symeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyreʹne, Manʹa-en a member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
3Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
4So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleuʹcia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus.
5When they arrived at Salʹamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to assist them.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8

1May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us,   Selah
2that thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving power among all nations.
4Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for thou dost judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth.   Selah
5Let the peoples praise thee, O God; let all the peoples praise thee!
7God has blessed us; let all the ends of the earth fear him!

Gospel

John 12:44-50

44And Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.
45And he who sees me sees him who sent me.
46I have come as light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.
47If any one hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.
48He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings has a judge; the word that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day.
49For I have not spoken on my own authority; the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what to say and what to speak.
50And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has bidden me.”
From the Franciscan Lectionary

1 Corinthians 1:26-31; 2:1-2

1
26For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth;
27but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong,
28God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,
29so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
30He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption;
31therefore, as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord.”
2
1When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom.
2For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 112:1-7, 9

1Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments!
2His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3Wealth and riches are in his house; and his righteousness endures for ever.
4Light rises in the darkness for the upright; the LORD is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5It is well with the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice.
6For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered for ever.
7He is not afraid of evil tidings; his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
9He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn is exalted in honor.

Gospel

Matthew 18:1-5

1At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them,
3and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me;
