Since we are travellers and pilgrims in the world, let us ever ponder on the end of the road, that is of our life, for the end of our roadway is our home (St Columban, 8th sermon).

Gospel, John 17:20-26 (English Standard Version
Anglicised: India)
Jesus lifted up his eyes to
heaven and said:
“I do not ask for these only, but also for
those who will believe in me through their word,that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in
me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the
world may believe that you have sent me.The glory that you have given me I
have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,I in them and you in me, that they may
become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me
and loved them even as you loved me.Father, I desire that they also, whom you
have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that
you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.O righteous Father, even though the
world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me.I made known to them your name, and I will
continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may
be in them, and I in them.”
But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God (Acts 7:55; First Reading).
Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world (John 17:24; Gospel).
Since we are travellers and
pilgrims in the world, let us ever ponder on the end of the road, that is of
our life, for the end of our roadway is our home (St Columban, 8th sermon).

Traditional Latin Mass
Sunday After the Ascension
The Complete Mass in Latin and English is here. (Adjust the date at the top of that page to 05-29-2022 if necessary).
Epistle: 1 Peter 4:7-11 . Gospel: John 15:26 - 16:1-4.
What has come into beingin him was life,and the life was the light of all people (John 1:4).
The Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord has four different Mass formularies, each with its own prayer and readings. Any of the four fulfills our obligation to attend Mass. These are:
Vigil Mass, celebrated 'either before or after First Vespers (Evening Prayer) of the Nativity'; that means starting between 5pm and 7pm.
Mass During the Night, known before as 'Midnight Mass'. In many parts of the world it does begin at midnight but here in the Philippines since the 1980s it begins earlier, usually at 8:30pm or 9pm.
Mass at Dawn.
Mass During the Day.
When you click on 'Readings' below from the New American Bible you will find links to the readings for each of the four Masses. The readings from the Jerusalem Bible for the four Masses are all on one page.
In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.He was in the beginning with God.All things came into being through him, and without him not
one thing came into being. What has come into beingin him was life,and the
life was the light of all people.The
light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all
might believe through him.He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the
light.The true light, which enlightens
everyone, was coming into the world.
He was in the world, and the world came into being through
him; yet the world did not know him.He came to what was his own,and his
own people did not accept him.But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he
gave power to become children of God,who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or
of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have
seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son,full of
grace and truth.(John testified to him
and cried out, ‘This was he of whom I said, “He who comes after me ranks ahead
of me because he was before me.”’)From his fullness we have all received,
grace upon grace.The law indeed was given through Moses;
grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.No one has ever seen God. It is God the
only Son,who is
close to the Father’s heart,who has
made him known.
John 1:1-4

Tom Kettle wrote To My Daughter Betty, The Gift of God just four days before he was killed during an assault on the village of Ginchy, France, on 9 September 1916. The Secret Scripture of the Poor was the title given to a collection of writings by Columban Fr John Henaghan published posthumously in 1951. He was killed by the Japanese during the Battle of Manila in February 1945.
