Friday of the Sixth Week of Easter
Reading 1
Peter
stood up in the midst of the brothers and sisters
(there was a group of about one hundred and twenty persons
in the
one place).
He
said, “My brothers and sisters,
the
Scripture had to be fulfilled
which the
Holy Spirit spoke beforehand
through
the mouth of David, concerning Judas,
who was
the guide for those who arrested Jesus.
Judas
was numbered among us
and was
allotted a share in this ministry.
For
it is written in the Book of Psalms:
Let
his encampment become desolate,
and
may no one dwell in it.
and:
May
another take his office.
Therefore,
it is necessary that one of the men
who
accompanied us the whole time
the Lord
Jesus came and went among us,
beginning
from the baptism of John
until the
day on which he was taken up from us,
become
with us a witness to his resurrection.”
So
they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas,
who was
also known as Justus, and Matthias.
Then
they prayed,
“You,
Lord, who know the hearts of all,
show
which one of these two you have chosen
to take
the place in this apostolic ministry
from
which Judas turned away to go to his own place.”
Then
they gave lots to them, and the lot fell upon Matthias,
and he was counted with the Eleven Apostles.

Gospel
Jesus
said to his disciples:
“As
the Father loves me, so I also love you.
Remain
in my love.
If
you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,
just as I
have kept my Father’s commandments
and
remain in his love.
“I
have told you this so that my joy might be in you
and your
joy might be complete.
This
is my commandment: love one another as I love you.
No
one has greater love than this,
to lay
down one’s life for one’s friends.
You
are my friends if you do what I command you.
I no
longer call you slaves,
because a
slave does not know what his master is doing.
I
have called you friends,
because I
have told you everything I have heard from my Father.
It
was not you who chose me, but I who chose you
and
appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain,
so that
whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.
This I command you:
love one another.”
