LESSÓN. Acts iii. 1. 10.-In those days: Peter and John went up to the temple, being the ninth hour. And a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb, was carried; whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them that went into the temple. He, when he had seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms. But Peter with John fastening his eyes upon him, said: Look upon us. But he looked earnestly upon them, hoping that he should receive something of them. Then Peter said: Silver and gold I have none: but what I have I give thee In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up, and forthwith his feet and soles received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked and went in with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God. And they knew him, that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.

He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs. He saith to him the third time: Simon son of John, lovest thou me?

Amen, amen I say to thee, when thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself, and didst walk where thou wouldst but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldst not.

LESSON. Acts xii. 1. 11.-In those days: Herod the king stretched forth his hand to afflict some of the Church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the azymes. And when he had apprehended him, he cast him into prison, delivering him to four files of soldiers to be kept, intending after the pasch to bring him forth to the people. Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing by the Church unto God for him.

And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And be hold an angel of the Lord stood by him; and a light shined in the room: and he striking Peter on the side raised him up, saying: Arise quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said to him: Gird thyself, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And he said to him: Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. And going out he followed him, and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel: but thought he saw

a vision.

And passing through the first and second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city, which of itself opened to them. And going out, they passed on through one street: and immediately the angel departed from him. And Peter coming to himself, said: Now I know in very deed that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

COMMEMORATION of St PAUL, All as on his Convers on, p. 546. with a Commem. of St. John Baptist, p. 607. except EPISTLE. Gal. i. 11. 20. Brethren I give you to understand, that the gospel which preached by me is not according to man. neither did I receive it of man, nor did I learn it; but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. For you have heard of my conversion in time past in the Jews religion how that beyond measure I persecuted the Church of God, and wasted it, and I made progress in the Jews religion above many of my equals in my own nation, being more abundantly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. But when it pleased him, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, immediately I condescended not to flesh and blood. Neither went I to Jerusalem to the apostles who were before me: but I went into Arabia, and again I returned to Damascus. Then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Peter, and I tarried with him fifteen days: but other of the apostles I saw none; saving James the brother of the Lord. Now the things which I write to you; behold before God, I lie not.

Alleluia, Alleluia. V. Holy Apostle Paul, preacher of the truth, and doctor of the Gentiles, intercede for us. Alleluia.
