DR Squared: Optional Memorial Of Saint John Paul II, Pope

First Reading:  Isaiah 52:7-10
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, and that preacheth peace: of him that sheweth forth good, that preacheth salvation, that saith to Sion: Thy God shall reign! The voice of thy watchmen: they have lifted up their voice, they shall praise together: for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall convert Sion. Rejoice, and give praise together, O ye deserts of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people: he hath redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord hath prepared his holy arm in the sight of all the Gentiles: and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Responsorial Psalm:  Psalm 96 (95):3; V. 1-2a, 2b-3, 7-8, 10
R.  Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.

V.  Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle:
     sing to the Lord, all the earth.
     Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name:

V.  (S)hew forth his salvation from day to day.
     Declare his glory among the Gentiles:
     his wonders among all people.

V.  Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles,
     bring ye to the Lord glory and honour:
     Bring to the Lord glory unto his name.

V.  Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned.
     For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved:
     he will judge the people with justice.
 
Gospel Reading:  John 21:15-17
When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter: Simon son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs. He saith to him again: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs. He said to him the third time: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved, because he had said to him the third time: Lovest thou me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Feed my sheep.
