First Reading
Acts 10,34.37-43
Peter addressed the house of Cornelius: "No doubt you have heard of the event that
occurred throughout the whole country of the Jews, beginning from Galilee, after the
baptism John preached. You know how God anointed Jesus the Nazarean with Holy
Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all who were under the
devil's power, because God was with him; we are witnesses of all that he did
throughout the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem itself. Yet they put him to death
by hanging him on a wooden cross. But God raised him to life on the third day and let
him manifest himself, not to all the people, but to the witnesses that were chosen
beforehand by God - to us who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from
death. And he commanded us to preach to the people and to bear witness that he is the
one appointed by God to judge the living and the dead. All the prophets say of him,
that everyone who believes in him has forgiveness of sins through his Name."
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.
Second 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
Jn 20,1-9
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.
