First Reading
ACTS 10:34, 37-43
Peter's testimony
Then Peter opened his mouth and said: "In truth I perceive that God shos no partiality."  That word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilea after the baptism which John preached: "how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing goodand healing all who were oppressed by the deveil, for God was with Him.  And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree.  Him God rasied up on the third day, and showed Him openly, not to all the people, but to witnesses chose before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.  And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.  To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.
"The Word of the Lord"


PSALMS 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23
Praise to God for His Everlasting Mercy

Let Israel now say, "His mercy endures forever."  Let the house of Aaron now say, "His mercy endures forever."  The LORD is on my side; I will not fear.  What can man do to me?  The LORD is for me among those who help me; therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me.  The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.  This was the LORD's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.

Second Reading
COLOSSIANS 3:1-4
Life with Christ

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.  Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.  For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.  When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
"The Word of the Lord"



Gospel Reading
JOHN 20:1-9
He had to rise from the dead.

Now the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.  Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jeus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the LORD out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."  Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb.  So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.  And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in.  Then Simon Peter came, following hi, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself.  Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed.  For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.
