A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians

Built upon the foundation of the apostles, with Christ as the cornerstone

Read Ephesians 2 in the Bible

Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners; but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and the domestics of God, 20Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone: 21In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord. 22In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit.

The word of the Lord.

Psalm · Ps 19:2-5

Their sound has gone forth through all the earth

Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth.

2The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands. 3Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge. 4There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard. 5Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.

Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

After praying all night, Jesus chooses the twelve apostles

Gospel Acclamation

I have chosen you, saith the Lord, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain.

And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God. 13And when day was come, he called unto him his disciples; and he chose twelve of them (whom also he named apostles). 14Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 15Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who is called Zelotes, 16And Jude, the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor. 17And coming down with them, he stood in a plain place, and the company of his disciples, and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast both of Tyre and Sidon, 18Who were come to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits, were cured. 19And all the multitude sought to touch him, for virtue went out from him, and healed all.
