A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
Everyone came running towards Peter and John in great excitement, to the Portico of Solomon, as it is called, where the man was still clinging to Peter and John. When Peter saw the people he addressed them, ‘Why are you so surprised at this? Why are you staring at us as though we had made this man walk by our own power or holiness?You are Israelites, and it is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, who has glorified his servant Jesus, the same Jesus you handed over and then disowned in the presence of Pilate after Pilate had decided to release him.It was you who accused the Holy One, the Just One, you who demanded the reprieve of a murderer while you killed the prince of life.God, however, raised him from the dead, and to that fact we are the witnesses; and it is the name of Jesus which, through our faith in it, has brought back the strength of this man whom you see here and who is well known to you. It is faith in that name that has restored this man to health, as you can all see.‘Now I know, brothers, that neither you nor your leaders had any idea what you were really doing; this was the way God carried out what he had foretold, when he said through all his prophets that his Christ would suffer.Now you must repent and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, and so that the Lord may send the time of comfort.Then he will send you the Christ he has predestined, that is Jesus, whom heaven must keep till the universal restoration comes which God proclaimed, speaking through his holy prophets. Moses, for example, said:The Lord God will raise up a prophet like myself for you, from among your own brothers; you must listen to whatever he tells you. The man who does not listen to that prophet is to be cut off from the people.In fact, all the prophets that have ever spoken, from Samuel onwards, have predicted these days.‘You are the heirs of the prophets, the heirs of the covenant God made with our ancestors when he told Abraham: in your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed. It was for you in the first place that God raised up his servant and sent him to bless you by turning every one of you from your wicked ways.’The word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.
The disciples told their story of what had happened on the road and how they had recognised Jesus at the breaking of bread.They were still talking about all this when Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you!’In a state of alarm and fright, they thought they were seeing a ghost.
But he said, ‘Why are you so agitated, and why are these doubts rising in your hearts? Look at my hands and feet; yes, it is I indeed.Touch me and see for yourselves; a ghost has no flesh and bones as you can see I have.’And as he said this he showed them his hands and feet. Their joy was so great that they still could not believe it, and they stood there dumbfounded; so he said to them, ‘Have you anything here to eat?’And they offered him a piece of grilled fish, which he took and ate before their eyes.Then he told them, ‘This is what I meant when I said, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, in the Prophets and in the Psalms has to be fulfilled.’He then opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them,‘So you see how it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that, in his name, repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses to this.’The Gospel of the Lord
All: Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ

O God, author of every mercy and of all goodness,
who in fasting, prayer and almsgiving have shown us a remedy for sin,
look graciously on this confession of our lowliness, that we, who are bowed down by our conscience, may always be lifted up by your mercy.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.Amen.
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.Through our Lord Jesus Christ, by faith we are judged righteous and at peace with God, since it is by faith and through Jesus that we have entered this state of grace in which we can boast about looking forward to god’s glory.And this hope is not deceptive, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given us.We were still helpless when at his appointed moment Christ died for sinful men.It is not easy to die even for a good man – though of course for someone really worthy, a man might be prepared to die – but what proves that God loves us is that Christ died for us while were still sinners.The word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

弟兄们：你们该晓得：具有信德的人，才是亚巴郎的子孙。圣经预见天主将使异民凭信德成义，就向亚巴郎预报福音说：「万民都要因你获得祝福。」可见那些具有信德的人，与有信德的亚巴郎同蒙祝福。
反之，凡是依恃遵行法律的，都应受咒骂，因为经上记载说：「凡不持守律书上所记载的一切，而依照遵行的，是可咒骂的。」所以很明显的，没有一个人能凭法律在天主前成义，因为经上说：「义人因信德而生活。」但是法律并非以信德为本，只说：「遵行法令的，必因此获得生命。」但基督由法律的咒骂中救赎了我们，为我们成了可咒骂的，因为经上记载说：「凡被悬在木架上的，是可咒骂的。」这样天主使亚巴郎所蒙受的祝福，在基督耶稣内普及于万民，并使我们能藉着信德领受所应许的圣神
答：上主永远怀念自己的盟约。在义人的集会和团聚中，
我必要全心向上主讚颂。
上主的工程确实伟大，
凡喜爱它的必须究察。答：上主永远怀念自己的盟约。他的作为辉煌光明，
他的正义永远常存。
他的奇迹永留人间，
上主实在是慈爱而温良。答：上主永远怀念自己的盟约。他赐给敬畏他的人食物，
且永远怀念自己的盟约，
将他的大能启示给选民，
把外邦人的产业赏赐给他们。答：上主永远怀念自己的盟约。
那时候，人群中有人说：「耶稣是仗赖魔王贝耳则步驱魔。」另一些人试探耶稣，向他要求一个自天而来的征兆。耶稣知道了他们的心意，便对他们说：「凡是一国自相纷争，必成废墟，一家一家的败落。如果撒殚自相纷争，他的国如何能存立呢？因为你们说我仗赖贝耳则步驱魔。如果我仗赖贝耳则步驱魔，你们的子弟是仗赖谁驱魔呢？为此，他们将是你们的裁判者。如果我是仗赖天主的手驱魔，那麼，天主的国已来到你们中间了。几时壮士佩带武器，看守自己的宅舍，他的财产，必能安全。但是，如果有个比他更强的人来战胜他，必会把他所依赖的一切武器都夺去，而瓜分他的赃物。不随同我的，就是反对我；不同我收集的，就是分散。

Jesus said: "Today bring to me the souls who especially venerate and glorify my mercy and immerse them in my mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my passion and entered most deeply into my spirit. They are living images of my compassionate heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death."

Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your Mercy.
These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward confident of Your Mercy. These souls are united to Jesus and carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your Mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless Mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus.
These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy and their spirits, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High!
I beg You O God: show them Your Mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You.
