Gospel:
9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; remain in my love. 10 You will remain in my love if you keep my commandments, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
11 I have told you all this, that my own joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. 12 This is my commandment: love one another as I have loved you. 13 There is no greater love than this, to give one’s life for one’s friends; 14 and you are my friends if you do what I command you.
15 I shall not call you servants any more, because servants do not know what their master is about. Instead I have called you friends, since I have made known to you everything I learned from my Father.
16 You did not choose me; it was I who chose you and sent you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last. And everything you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
17 This is my command, that you love one another.

15 It was during this time that Peter stood up in the midst of the community – about one hundred and twenty in all – 16 and he said,
“Brothers, it was necessary that the Scriptures referring to Judas be fulfilled. The Holy Spirit had spoken through David about the one who would lead the crowd coming to arrest Jesus. 17 He was one of our number and had been called to share our common ministry.
20 In the book of Psalms it is written: Let his house become deserted and may no one live in it. But it is also written: May another take his office. 21 Therefore we must choose someone from among those who were with us during all the time that the Lord Jesus moved about with us, 22 beginning with John’s baptism until the day when Jesus was taken away from us. One of these has to become, with us, a witness to his resurrection.”
23 Then they proposed two: Joseph, called Barsabbas, also known as Justus, and Matthias. 24 They prayed: “You know, Lord, what is in the hearts of all. Show us, therefore, which of the two you have chosen 25 to replace Judas in this apostolic ministry which he deserted to go to the place he deserved.”
26 Then they drew lots between the two and the choice fell on Matthias who was added to the eleven apostles.
Psalm:
1 Alleluia!
Praise, O servants of the Lord,
praise the name of the Lord!
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord
now and forever!
3 From eastern lands to the western islands,
may the name of the Lord be praised!
4 The Lord is exalted over the nations,
his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God,
who sits enthroned on high,
6 but also bends down to see
on earth as in heaven?
7 He lifts up the poor from the dust
and the needy from the ash heap.
8 He makes them sit with princes,
with rulers of his people.
