Not with old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, *

Psalm
68:1-10, 33-36
Exsurgat Deus
1 Let God arise, and let his enemies
be scattered; *
let those who hate him flee before him.
2
Let them vanish like smoke when the wind drives it away; *
as the wax melts at the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3
But let the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; *
let them also be merry and joyful.
4
Sing to God, sing praises to his Name;
exalt him who rides upon the heavens; *
YAHWEH is his Name, rejoice before him!

but the rebels shall live in dry places.
7
O God, when you went forth before your people, *
when you marched through the wilderness,
8
The earth shook, and the skies poured down rain,
at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, *
at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9
You sent a gracious rain, O God, upon your inheritance; *
you refreshed the land when it was weary.
10
Your people found their home in it; *
in your goodness, O God, you have made provision for the poor.
33
Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; *
sing praises to the Lord.
34
He rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens; *
he sends forth his voice, his mighty voice.
35
Ascribe power to God; *
his majesty is over Israel;
his strength is in the skies.
36
How wonderful is God in his holy places! *
the God of Israel giving strength and power to his people!
Blessed be God!
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Acts
1:6-14
When the apostles had come together,
they asked Jesus, “Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to
Israel?” He replied, “It is not for you to know the times or periods that the
Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy
Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all
Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” When he had said this, as
they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
While he was going and they were gazing up toward heaven, suddenly two men in
white robes stood by them. They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking
up toward heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will
come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”
Then they returned to
Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath
day’s journey away. When they had entered the city, they went to the room
upstairs where they were staying, Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew,
Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon
the Zealot, and Judas son of James. All these were constantly devoting
themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary the mother of
Jesus, as well as his brothers.

Peter 4:12-14; 5:6-11
Beloved, do not be surprised at the
fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something
strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you are sharing Christ's
sufferings, so that you may also be glad and shout for joy when his glory is
revealed. If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because
the spirit of glory, which is the Spirit of God, is resting on you.
Humble yourselves
therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time.
Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you. Discipline yourselves,
keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking
for someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that
your brothers and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of
suffering. And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all
grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore,
support, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the power forever and ever.
Amen.
John
17:1-11
Jesus looked up to heaven and said,
“Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you, since
you have given him authority over all people, to give eternal life to all whom
you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only
true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth by
finishing the work that you gave me to do. So now, Father, glorify me in your
own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world
existed.
”I have made your name
known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave
them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything you
have given me is from you; for the words that you gave to me I have given to
them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and
they have believed that you sent me. I am asking on their behalf; I am not
asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because
they are yours. All mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been
glorified in them. And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the
world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you
have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.”
creator of heaven and earth;
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
