First Reading - Acts 3:13-15.17-19
Peter said to the people:
“The God of Abraham, the God
of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,
the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom
you handed over and denied in
Pilate’s presence when he had
decided to release him.
You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. The Author of Life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead. Of this we are witnesses.
Now I know, brothers, that you acted out of ignorance, just as your leaders did; but God has thus brought to fulfillment what he had announced beforehand through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer.
Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away.”

Responsorial Psalm - Ps 4
R –Lord, let your face shine on
us!
* When I call, answer me,
O my just God, you who relieve me when I am in distress;
have pity on me, and hear my
prayer! R.
* Know that the Lord does
wonders for his faithful one;
the Lord will hear me when I
call upon him. R.
* O Lord, let the light of
your countenance shine upon
us! You put gladness into my
heart. R.
* As soon as I lie down, I
fall peacefully asleep, for you
alone, O Lord, bring security
to my dwelling. R.
Second Reading - 1 Jn 2:1-5
My children, I am writing
this to you so that you may not
commit sin. But if anyone does
sin, we have an Advocate with
the Father, Jesus Christ the
Righteous One. He is expiation
for our sins, and not for our
sins only but for those of the
whole world.
The way we may be sure
that we know him is to keep
his commandments. Those who
say, “I know him,” but do not
keep his commandments are
liars, and the truth is not in
them.
But whoever keeps his
word, the love of God is truly
perfected in him.
Gospel Acclamation - Lk 24:32
All –Alleluia! Alleluia!
Lord Jesus, open the
Scriptures to us; make speak to us.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Gospel - Lk 24:35-48
The two disciples recounted what had taken place on the
way, and how Jesus was made
known to them in the breaking
of bread.
While they were still
speaking about this, he stood
in their midst and said to them,
“Peace be with you.” But they
were startled and terrified and
thought that they were seeing
a ghost. Then he said to them,
“Why are you troubled? And
why do questions arise in your
hearts? Look at my hands and
my feet, that it is I myself. Touch
me and see, because a ghost
does not have flesh and bones
as you can see I have.” And as
he said this, he showed them
his hands and his feet. While
they were still incredulous for
joy and were amazed, he asked
them, “Have you anything here
to eat?” They gave him a piece
of baked fish. He took it and ate
it in front of them.
He said to them, “These
are my words that I spoke to
you while I was still with you,
that everything written about
me in the law of Moses and in
the prophets and psalms must
be fulfilled.” Then he opened
their minds to understand
the Scriptures. And he said to
them, “Thus it is written that
the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third
day and that repentance for
the forgiveness of sins would
be preached in his name to all
the nations, beginning from
Jerusalem. You are witnesses
of these things.”
