St Marcellinus and Peter, Martyrs, Monday of the 7th week of Eastertide

June 2, 2025
in Readings

First reading Acts 19:1-8

The moment Paul laid hands on them the Holy Spirit came down on them

While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul made his way overland as far as Ephesus, where he found a number of disciples. When he asked, ‘Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?’ they answered, ‘No, we were never even told there was such a thing as a Holy Spirit.’ ‘Then how were you baptised?’ he asked. ‘With John’s baptism’ they replied. ‘John’s baptism’ said Paul ‘was a baptism of repentance; but he insisted that the people should believe in the one who was to come after him – in other words, Jesus.’ When they heard this, they were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus, and the moment Paul had laid hands on them the Holy Spirit came down on them, and they began to speak with tongues and to prophesy. There were about twelve of these men.

He began by going to the synagogue, where he spoke out boldly and argued persuasively about the kingdom of God. He did this for three months.

 

Responsorial Psalm 67(68):2-7

Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God.
or
Alleluia!

Let God arise, let his foes be scattered.
Let those who hate him flee before him.
As smoke is blown away so will they be blown away;
like wax that melts before the fire,
so the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.

But the just shall rejoice at the presence of God,
they shall exult and dance for joy.
O sing to the Lord, make music to his name;
rejoice in the Lord, exult at his presence.

Father of the orphan, defender of the widow,
such is God in his holy place.
God gives the lonely a home to live in;
he leads the prisoners forth into freedom.

 

Gospel John 16:29-33

Be brave, for I have conquered the world

His disciples said to Jesus, ‘Now you are speaking plainly and not using metaphors! Now we see that you know everything, and do not have to wait for questions to be put into words; because of this we believe that you came from God.’ Jesus answered them:
‘Do you believe at last?
Listen; the time will come – in fact it has come already –
when you will be scattered,
each going his own way and leaving me alone.
And yet I am not alone,
because the Father is with me.
I have told you all this
so that you may find peace in me.
In the world you will have trouble,
but be brave: I have conquered the world.’

 

_____________________________________________________

 

You will find peace in Me

“In the world, you will have hardships…” (The Gospel). Jesus was a realist; He understood that His disciples would encounter difficulties. He did not pretend that their future would be free of problems. Nevertheless, He reassured them by saying, “I have told you all this so that you may find peace in me.” Despite the troubles they would experience in the world, they could find peace in Him, as His presence would provide calm and strength to guide them through those challenges.

Life presents us with hardships such as illness, failure, or loss, and there may be times when we feel alone. However, each day, Jesus comes to us, offering us the gift of His peace. This deep peace comes from the assurance that Jesus is with us, walking alongside us and working in our lives, even during our darkest moments. He tells us today, “Peace be with you. I am always near you, always on your side, today and forever.”

Reflection question:
Am I aware of Jesus’ presence with me as I go through the ups and downs of today?
