EASTER SUNDAY

Theme: The Lord has indeed risen

1st Reading: The Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 10: 34a, 37-43

Peter’s homily summarises the Gospel: Jesus’ perfect life of servanthood, his death on the cross, his resurrection, his fulfillment of the scriptures, and the need for each of us to have personal faith in him for our salvation.

2nd Reading: Colossians, Chapter 3: 1-4

The implication of having been resurrected with Christ is that we should no longer be preoccupied with the petty things of this life; rather, we should focus on our heavenly inheritance.

OR

2nd Reading: 1 Corinthians, Chapter 5: 6b-8

St. Paul challenges us to celebrate Christ’s resurrection with a new mindset based on Christ-like morals.

 

Gospel Reading: John, Chapter 20: 1-9

Mary Magdalene, Simon Peter and the other disciple must have rushed to the tomb with mixed feelings. They found out, as we also do by faith, that Christ is risen!

OR

Gospel Reading: Luke, Chapter 24: 1-12

The women were puzzled when they saw an empty tomb, and the disciples initially expressed doubts about the good news of the resurrection. Today, the resurrected Christ lives among us, as he prophesied he would.
