Reading 1: Acts 20:2838
At Miletus, Paul spoke to the presbyters of the Church of Ephesus: "Take care of yourselves and of the entire flock, over which the Holy Spirit has stationed you as Bishops to rule the Church of God, which he has purchased by his own blood. I know that after my departure ravenous wolves will enter among you, not sparing the flock. And from among yourselves, men will rise up, speaking perverse things in order to entice disciples after them. Because of this, be vigilant, retaining in memory that throughout three years I did not cease, night and day, with tears, to admonish each and every one of you. And now, I commend you to God and to the Word of his grace. He has the power to build up, and to give an inheritance to all who are sanctified. I have coveted neither silver and gold, nor apparel, as you yourselves know. For that which was needed by me and by those who are with me, these hands have provided. I have revealed all things to you, because by laboring in this way, it is necessary to support the weak and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with all of them. Then a great weeping occurred among them all. And, falling upon the neck of Paul, they kissed him, being grieved most of all over the word which he had said, that they would never see his face again. And they brought him to the ship.


Responsorial Psalm: PS 68:2930, 3335a, 35bc36ab
R. (33a) Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth.

Command your strength, O God: confirm, O God, what you have wrought in us. From your temple in Jerusalem, kings shall offer presents to you.
R. Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth.

Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth: sing to the Lord: Sing to God, Who mounts above the heaven of heavens, to the east. Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power:
R. Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth.

Give glory to God for Israel, his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds. God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people.
R. Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth.


Alleluia: Jn 17:17b, 17a
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Your word, O Lord, is truth;
consecrate us in the truth.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.


Gospel: John 17:11b19
Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed, saying: “Father most holy, preserve them in your name, those whom you have given to me, so that they may be one, even as we are one. While I was with them, I preserved them in your name. I have guarded those whom you have given to me, and not one of them is lost, except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture may be fulfilled. And now I am coming to you. But I am speaking these things in the world, so that they may have the fullness of my joy within themselves. I have given them your word, and the world has hated them. For they are not of the world, just as I, too, am not of the world. I am not praying that you would take them out of the world, but that you would preserve them from evil. They are not of the world, just as I also am not of the world. Sanctify them in truth. Your word is truth. Just as you have sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And it is for them that I sanctify myself, so that they, too, may be sanctified in truth.”
