Seated now and listen to God's Holy Word.

A reading from the acts of the apostles.

Many signs and wonders were done among the people at the hands of the Apostles.

They were all together in Solomon's portico.

None of the others dared to join them, but the people esteemed them.

Yet more than ever, believers in the Lord, great numbers of men and women, were added to them.

Thus they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and mats so that when

Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or another of them.

A large number of people from the towns in the vicinity of Jerusalem also gathered, bringing the sick and those disturbed by unclean spirits, and they were all cured.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks for your time. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his love is everlasting.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his love is everlasting.

Let the house of Israel say, his mercy indoors forever

Let the house of Aaron say

His mercy indoors forever

Let those who fear

the Lord say

His mercy

indoors forever.

Give thanks to the Lord,

for he is good, his love is everlasting.

I was heart-pressed and was falling.
