Easter Sunday – Year B
10:00 am Multilingual Mass
First Reading
ACTS OF APOSTLES
10:34, 37-43
34 Then Peter addressed
them, 'I now really understand', he said, 'that God has no favourites,
37 You know what
happened all over Judaea, how Jesus of Nazareth began in Galilee, after John
had been preaching baptism.
38 God had anointed him
with the Holy Spirit and with power, and because God was with him, Jesus went
about doing good and curing all who had fallen into the power of the devil.
39 Now we are witnesses
to everything he did throughout the countryside of Judaea and in Jerusalem
itself: and they killed him by hanging him on a tree,
40 yet on the third day
God raised him to life and allowed him to be seen,
41 not by the whole
people but only by certain witnesses that God had chosen beforehand. Now we are
those witnesses -- we have eaten and drunk with him after his resurrection from
the dead-
42 and he has ordered us
to proclaim this to his people and to bear witness that God has appointed him
to judge everyone, alive or dead.
43 It is to him that all
the prophets bear this witness: that all who believe in Jesus will have their
sins forgiven through his name.'

PSALMS 118:1-2,
16-17, 22-23
1 Alleluia! Give thanks
to Yahweh for he is good, for his faithful love endures for ever.
2 Let the House of
Israel say, 'His faithful love endures for ever.'
16 Yahweh's right hand
is victorious, Yahweh's right hand is triumphant!'
17 I shall not die, I
shall live to recount the great deeds of Yahweh.
22 The stone which the
builders rejected has become the cornerstone;
23 This is Yahweh's
doing, and we marvel at it.
Second Reading
COLOSSIANS 3:1-4
1 Since you have been
raised up to be with Christ, you must look for the things that are above, where
Christ is, sitting at God's right hand.
2 Let your thoughts be
on things above, not on the things that are on the earth,
3 because you have
died, and now the life you have is hidden with Christ in God.
4 But when Christ is
revealed -- and he is your life-you, too, will be revealed with him in glory.

Gospel Reading
JOHN 20:1-9
1 It was very early on
the first day of the week and still dark, when Mary of Magdala came to the
tomb. She saw that the stone had been moved away from the tomb
2 and came running to
Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. 'They have taken
the Lord out of the tomb,' she said, 'and we don't know where they have put
him.'
3 So Peter set out with
the other disciple to go to the tomb.
4 They ran together,
but the other disciple, running faster than Peter, reached the tomb first;
5 he bent down and saw
the linen cloths lying on the ground, but did not go in.
6 Simon Peter,
following him, also came up, went into the tomb, saw the linen cloths lying on
the ground
7 and also the cloth
that had been over his head; this was not with the linen cloths but rolled up
in a place by itself.
8 Then the other
disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in; he saw and he believed.
9 Till this moment they
had still not understood the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
