Alleluia
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his loving kindness endures forever. Let Israel say, "His loving kindness endures forever."
the right hand of the Lord is lifted high, the right hand of the Lord strikes mightily!" I shall not die, but live to proclaim what the Lord has done.
The stone rejected by the builders has become the keystone. This was the Lord's doing and we marvel at it.
2nd. READING (Col 3,1-4)
So then, if you are risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on earthly things. For you have died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, reveals himself, you also will be revealed with him in Glory.
Gospel
Now, on the first day after the Sabbath, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in
the morning, while it was still dark and she saw that the stone blocking the tomb had
been moved away. She ran to Peter and the other disciple whom Jesus loved. And she
said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb and we don't know where
they have laid him." Peter then set out with the other disciple to go to the tomb. They
ran together but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent
down and saw the linen cloths lying flat, but he did not enter. Then Simon Peter came
following him and entered the tomb; he, too, saw the linen cloths lying flat. The
napkin, which had been around his head was not lying flat like the other linen cloths
but lay rolled up in its place. Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first
also went in; he saw and believed. Scripture clearly said that he must rise from the
dead, but they had not yet understood that.
