Catholic Sunday Readings for May 5 2024, Sixth Sunday of Easter, Year B

1st Reading – Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48

²⁵ When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and, falling at his feet, paid him homage.

²⁶ Peter, however, raised him up, saying, “Get up. I myself am also a human being.”

³⁴ Then Peter proceeded to speak and said, “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality.

³⁵ Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him.”

⁴⁴ While Peter was still speaking these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the word.

⁴⁵ The circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit should have been poured out on the Gentiles also,

⁴⁶ for they could hear them speaking in tongues and glorifying God. Then Peter responded,

⁴⁷ “Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit even as we have?”

⁴⁸ He ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

2nd Reading – 1 John 4:7-10

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God.

⁸ Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love.

⁹ In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.

¹⁰ In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.

Alleluia – John 14:23

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
²³ Whoever loves me will keep my word, says the Lord,
and my Father will love him and we will come to him.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel – John 15:9-17

Jesus said to his disciples:
⁹ “As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love.

¹⁰ 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.

¹¹ “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy might be complete.

¹² This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.

¹³ No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

¹⁴ You are my friends if you do what I command you.

¹⁵ 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.

¹⁶ 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.

¹⁷ This I command you: love one another.”
