Le letture portano la luce quieta della risurrezione nel giorno che hai davanti. Rimani con ciò che Gesù dice o fa qui, e lascia che chieda una risposta onesta.

Prima lettura
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 responsoriale
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.
Seconda lettura
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.
Vangelo
John 15:1-8
IO son la vera vite, e il Padre mio è il vignaiuolo. Egli toglie via ogni tralcio che in me non porta frutto; ma ogni tralcio che porta frutto egli lo rimonda, acciocchè ne porti vie più. Già siete voi mondi, per la parola che io vi ho detta. Dimorate in me, ed io dimorerò in voi; siccome il tralcio non può portar frutto da sè stesso, se non dimora nella vite, così nè anche voi, se non dimorate in me. Io son la vite, voi siete i tralci; chi dimora in me, ed io in lui, esso porta molto frutto, poichè fuor di me non potete far nulla. Se alcuno non dimora in me, è gettato fuori, come il sermento, e si secca; poi cotali sermenti son raccolti, e son gettati nel fuoco, e si bruciano. Se voi dimorate in me, e le mie parole dimorano in voi, voi domanderete ciò che vorrete, e vi sarà fatto. In questo è glorificato il Padre mio, che voi portiate molto frutto; e così sarete miei discepoli.
