First Reading
ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 3:13-15,
17-19
13 It is the God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, who has glorified his servant
Jesus whom you handed over and then disowned in the presence of Pilate after he
had given his verdict to release him.
14 It was you who
accused the Holy and Upright One, you who demanded that a murderer should be
released to you
15 while you killed the
prince of life. God, however, raised him from the dead, and to that fact we are
witnesses;
17 'Now I know,
brothers, that neither you nor your leaders had any idea what you were really
doing;
18 but this was the way
God carried out what he had foretold, when he said through all his prophets
that his Christ would suffer.
19 Now you must repent
and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out,

Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 4:2, 4, 7-8, 9
2 Children of men, how
long will you be heavy of heart, why love what is vain and chase after
illusions?
4 Be careful not to
sin, speak in your hearts, and on your beds keep silence.
7 to my heart you are a
richer joy than all their corn and new wine.
8 In peace I lie down
and at once fall asleep, for it is you and none other, Yahweh, who make me rest
secure.
Second Reading
First John 2:1-5
1 My children, I am
writing this to prevent you from sinning; but if anyone does sin, we have an
advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the upright.
2 He is the sacrifice
to expiate our sins, and not only ours, but also those of the whole world.
3 In this way we know
that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Whoever says, 'I know
him' without keeping his commandments, is a liar, and truth has no place in
him.
5 But anyone who does
keep his word, in such a one God's love truly reaches its perfection. This is
the proof that we are in God.

Gospel Reading
LUKE 24:35-48
35 Then they told their
story of what had happened on the road and how they had recognised him at the
breaking of bread.
36 They were still
talking about all this when he himself stood among them and said to them,
'Peace be with you!'
37 In a state of alarm
and fright, they thought they were seeing a ghost.
38 But he said, 'Why are
you so agitated, and why are these doubts stirring in your hearts?
39 See by my hands and
my feet that it is I myself. Touch me and see for yourselves; a ghost has no
flesh and bones as you can see I have.'
40 And as he said this
he showed them his hands and his feet.
41 Their joy was so
great that they still could not believe it, as they were dumbfounded; so he
said to them, 'Have you anything here to eat?'
42 And they offered him
a piece of grilled fish,
43 which he took and ate
before their eyes.
44 Then he told them,
'This is what I meant when I said, while I was still with you, that everything
written about me in the Law of Moses, in the Prophets and in the Psalms, was
destined to be fulfilled.'
45 He then opened their
minds to understand the scriptures,
46 and he said to them,
'So it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise from
the dead,
47 and that, in his
name, repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all nations,
beginning from Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses to
this.
