First Reading: Acts 10:34.37-43
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
R –This is the day the Lord has
made; let us rejoice and be
glad!
* 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.
* 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.
* The stone which the builders
rejected has become the cornerstone. By the Lord has this
been done; it is wonderful in
our eyes. R.
Second Reading - 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.

C –With the ancient poet, let
us proclaim the joy of Mary
Magdalene at Jesus’ resurrection.
All –Christians, to the Paschal
Victim offer your thankful
praises! A Lamb the sheep
redeems: Christ, who only is
sinless, reconciles sinners to
the Father.
Death and life have contended in that combat stupendous: the Prince of life, who
died, reigns immortal.
Speak, Mary, declaring
what you saw, wayfaring. “The
tomb of Christ, who is living,
the glory of Jesus’ resurrection; bright angels attesting,
the shroud and napkin resting.
Yes, Christ my hope is arisen:
to Galilee he goes before you.”
Christ indeed from death is
risen, our new life obtaining.
Have mercy, victor King, ever
reigning! Amen! Alleluia!
Gospel Acclamation - 1 Cor 5:7-8
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ, our paschal lamb,
has been sacrificed; let us
then feast with joy in the
Lord.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
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, who had arrived at the tomb first, also
went in. He saw and believed.
For they did not yet understand the Scripture that Jesus
had to rise from the dead.
