Now there were in the Church at Antioch prophets and teachers:
Barnabas, Symeon who was called Niger,
Lucius of Cyrene,
Manaen who was a close friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,
“Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul
for the work to which I have called them.”
Then, completing their fasting and prayer,
they laid hands on them and sent them off.

ALLELUIA Matt 28:19a,20b
Euntes docete omnes gentes, dicit Dominus. Ego vobiscum sum omnibus diebus usque ad consummationem saeculi.
Go and teach all nations, says the Lord;
I am with you always; until the end of the world.
GOSPEL Matthew 10:7-13
Jesus said to the Twelve:
"As you go, make this proclamation:
'The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.'
Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons.
Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.
Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts;
no sack for the journey, or a second tunic,
or sandals, or walking stick.
The laborer deserves his keep.
Whatever town or village you enter,
look for a worthy person in it,
and stay there until you leave.
As you enter a house, wish it peace.
If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it;
if not, let your peace return to you."
PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
Oblata munera, quaesumus, Domine, tua benedictione sanctifica, quae, te donante, nos flamma tuae dilectionis accendant, per quam beatus Barnabas lumen Evangelii gentibus apportavit.
Sanctify with your blessing, we pray, O Lord,
the offerings presented here,
so that by your grace they may set us on fire
with the flame of your love,
by which Saint Barnabas
brought the light of the Gospel to the nations.
Through Christ our Lord.
PREFACE
Preface I of the Apostles
Preface II of the Apostles
COMMUNION ANTIPHON Cf. Jn 15: 15
Iam non dicam vos servos, quia servus nescit quid faciat Dominus eius. Vos autem dixi amicos, quia omnia quaecumque audivi a Patre meo, nota feci vobis.
I no longer call you slaves,
because a slave does not know what his master is doing.
But I have called you friends,
because I have told you
everything I have heard from my Father (E.T. alleluia).
PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
Aeternae pignus vitae capientes, te, Domine, humiliter imploramus, ut, quod pro beati Barnabae apostoli memoria in imagine gerimus sacramenti, manifesta perceptione sumamus.
As we receive the pledge of eternal life,
we humbly implore you, Lord,
that what we celebrate in sacramental signs
on the Memorial of the blessed Apostle Barnabas
we may one day behold unveiled.
Through Christ our Lord.
