FIRST READING
"Set aside Barnabas and Saul for me"
A Reading from the book of Acts of the Apostles (12, 24 - 13, 5)
In those days, the word of God was fruitful and multiplied. Barnabas and Saul, having completed their service for Jerusalem, returned to Antioch, taking with them John nicknamed Mark. Now there were in the Church which was in Antioch prophets and men charged with teaching: Barnabas, Simeon called Le Noir, Lucius of Cyrene, Manahene, childhood companion of Herod the Tetrarch, and Saul. One day as they were celebrating the worship of the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said to them: “Set apart Barnabas and Saul for me in view of the work to which I have called them. So after they fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they let them go. They therefore, sent by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and from there embarked for Cyprus; arrived in Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They had Jean-Marc as an auxiliary.
The Word of the Lord.
