Reading 1, Acts 2:1-11

¹ When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together,

² when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting;

³ and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them.

⁴ They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

⁵ Now there were devout men living in Jerusalem from every nation under heaven,

⁶ and at this sound they all assembled, and each one was bewildered to hear these men speaking his own language.

⁷ They were amazed and astonished. 'Surely,' they said, 'all these men speaking are Galileans?

⁸ How does it happen that each of us hears them in his own native language?

⁹ Parthians, Medes and Elamites; people from Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

¹⁰ Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya round Cyrene; residents of Rome-

¹¹ Jews and proselytes alike -- Cretans and Arabs, we hear them preaching in our own language about the marvels of God.'

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 104:1, 24, 29-30, 31, 34

¹ Bless Yahweh, my soul, Yahweh, my God, how great you are! Clothed in majesty and splendour,

²⁴ How countless are your works, Yahweh, all of them made so wisely! The earth is full of your creatures.

²⁹ Turn away your face and they panic; take back their breath and they die and revert to dust.

³⁰ Send out your breath and life begins; you renew the face of the earth.

³¹ Glory to Yahweh for ever! May Yahweh find joy in his creatures!

³⁴ May my musings be pleasing to him, for Yahweh gives me joy.
