Catholic Daily Mass Readings and Prayers Friday 3 June 2022 || Reading 1 – Acts 25:13-21

¹³ Some days later King Agrippa and Bernice arrived in Caesarea and paid their respects to Festus.

¹⁴ Their visit lasted several days, and Festus put Paul’s case before the king, saying, ‘There is a man here whom Felix left behind in custody,

¹⁵ and while I was in Jerusalem the chief priests and elders of the Jews laid information against him, demanding his condemnation.

¹⁶ But I told them that Romans are not in the habit of surrendering any man, until the accused confronts his accusers and is given an opportunity to defend himself against the charge.

¹⁷ So they came here with me, and I wasted no time but took my seat on the tribunal the very next day and had the man brought in.

¹⁸ When confronted with him, his accusers did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected;

¹⁹ but they had some argument or other with him about their own religion and about a dead man called Jesus whom Paul alleged to be alive.

²⁰ Not feeling qualified to deal with questions of this sort, I asked him if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem to be tried there on this issue.

²¹ But Paul put in an appeal for his case to be reserved for the judgement of the emperor, so I ordered him to be remanded until I could send him to Caesar.’

¹ [Of David] Bless Yahweh, my soul, from the depths of my being, his holy name;

² bless Yahweh, my soul, never forget all his acts of kindness.

¹¹ As the height of heaven above earth, so strong is his faithful love for those who fear him.

¹² As the distance of east from west, so far from us does he put our faults.

¹⁹ Yahweh has fixed his throne in heaven, his sovereign power rules over all.

²⁰ Bless Yahweh, all his angels, mighty warriors who fulfil his commands, attentive to the sound of his words.

Catholic Daily Mass Readings and Prayers Friday 3 June 2022 || Gospel – John 21:15-19

¹⁵ When they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me more than these others do?’ He answered, ‘Yes, Lord, you know I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’

¹⁶ A second time he said to him, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ He replied, ‘Yes, Lord, you know I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Look after my sheep.’

¹⁷ Then he said to him a third time, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ Peter was hurt that he asked him a third time, ‘Do you love me?’ and said, ‘Lord, you know everything; you know I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep.

¹⁸ In all truth I tell you, when you were young you put on your own belt and walked where you liked; but when you grow old you will stretch out your hands, and somebody else will put a belt round you and take you where you would rather not go.’

¹⁹ In these words he indicated the kind of death by which Peter would give glory to God. After this he said, ‘Follow me.’

Daily Mass Readings and Prayers Friday 3 June 2022 || Prayer of the Day

Prayer to St. John XXIII

Dear Pope John,

Your simplicity and meekness carried the scent of God and sparked in people�s hearts the desire for goodness. You spoke often of the beauty of the family gathered around the table to share bread and faith: pray for us that once again true families would live in our homes. With outstretched hands you sowed hope, and you taught us to listen for God�s footsteps as he prepares a new humanity: help us have a healthy optimism of defeating evil with good.

You loved the world with its light and darkness, and you believed that peace is possible: help us be instruments of peace at home and in our communities.

With paternal gentleness you gave all children a caress: you moved the world and reminded us that hands have been given to us not for striking, but for embracing and drying tears.

Pray for us so that we do not limit ourselves to cursing the darkness but that we bring the light, bringing Jesus everywhere and always praying to Mary. Amen.St. John Paul, from the window of heaven, grant us your blessing! Bless the church that you loved and served and guided, courageously leading it along the paths of the world in order to bring Jesus to everyone and everyone to Jesus. Bless the young, who were your great passion. Help them dream again, help them look up high again to find the light that illuminates the paths of life here on earth.

May you bless families, bless each family! You warned of Satan�s assault against this precious and indispensable divine spark that God lit on earth. St. John Paul, with your prayer, may you protect the family and every life that blossoms from the family.

Pray for the whole world, which is still marked by tensions, wars and injustice. You tackled war by invoking dialogue and planting the seeds of love: pray for us so that we may be tireless sowers of peace.

Oh St. John Paul, from heaven�s window, where we see you next to Mary, send God�s blessing down upon us all. Amen.
