Reading I
Acts 10:34a, 37-43
Peter proceeded to speak and said: “You know what has happened all
over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John
preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit
and power. He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed
by the devil, for God was with him. We are witnesses of all that he
did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him
to death by hanging him on a tree. This man God raised on the third
day and granted that he be visible, not to all the people, but to
us, the witnesses chosen by God in advance, who ate and drank with
him after he rose from the dead. He commissioned us to preach to the
people and testify that he is the one appointed by God as judge of
the living and the dead. To him all the prophets bear witness, that
everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins
through his name.”
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23
R. (24) This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be
glad. or: R. Alleluia. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is
good, for his mercy endures forever. Let the house of Israel say,
“His mercy endures forever.” R. This is the day the Lord has
made; let us rejoice and be glad. or: R. Alleluia. “The
right hand of the LORD has struck with power; the right hand of the
LORD is exalted. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of
the LORD.” R. This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice
and be glad. or: R. Alleluia. The stone which the
builders rejected has become the cornerstone. By the LORD has this
been done; it is wonderful in our eyes. R. This is the day the
Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad. or: R. Alleluia.
Reading II
Col 3:1-4
Brothers and sisters: If then you were raised with Christ, seek what
is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Think of
what is above, not of what is on earth. For you have died, and your
life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ your life appears,
then you too will appear with him in glory.
or
I Cor 5:6b-8
Brothers and sisters: Do you not know that a little yeast leavens
all the dough? Clear out the old yeast, so that you may become a
fresh batch of dough, inasmuch as you are unleavened. For our
paschal lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed. Therefore, let us
celebrate the feast, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and
wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Gospel
Jn 20:1-9
On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early
in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed
from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the
other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the
Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him.” So Peter
and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. They both ran,
but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb
first; he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go
in. When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and
saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that had covered his
head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the
tomb first, and he saw and believed. For they did not yet understand
the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead. |
