Primera lectura
Acts 9:26-31
When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus. He was with them entering into Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him. When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus. So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
Salmo responsorial
Psalm 22:26-27, 28, 30, 31-32
The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise the LORD who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever. All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you. For the kingdom is the LORD's. He is the ruler over the nations. Posterity shall serve him. Future generations shall be told about the Lord. They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it.
Segunda lectura
1 John 3:18-24
My little children, let's not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him, because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our hearts don't condemn us, we have boldness toward God; so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight. This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded. He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
Evangelio
John 15:1-8
"Yo soy la verdadera vid, y mi Padre es el viticultor. Todo sarmiento que en mí no da fruto, lo quita. Todo sarmiento que da fruto, lo poda para que dé más fruto. Vosotros ya estáis limpios por la palabra que os he dicho. Permaneced en mí, y yo en vosotros. Como el sarmiento no puede dar fruto por sí mismo si no permanece en la vid, así tampoco vosotros, si no permanecéis en mí. Yo soy la vid. Vosotros sois los sarmientos. El que permanece en mí y yo en él da mucho fruto, porque sin mí no podéis hacer nada. El que no permanece en mí, es arrojado como pámpano y se seca; los recogen, los echan al fuego y se queman. Si permanecéis en mí, y mis palabras permanecen en vosotros, pediréis todo lo que queráis, y se os hará. "En esto es glorificado mi Padre, en que deis mucho fruto; y así seréis mis discípulos.
