The Resurrection of the Lord
The Mass of Easter Day

☆ Gospel: John 20:1-9

1
Now on the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the place and saw that the stone had been taken away from it.

2
Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.

3
So Peter and the other disciple went out to the place of the dead.

4
They went running together, and the other disciple got in front of Peter and came first to the hole in the rock;

5
And looking in, he saw the linen bands on the earth; but he did not go in,

6
Then Simon Peter came after him and went into the hole in the rock; and he saw the linen bands on the earth,

7
And the cloth, which had been round his head, not with the linen bands but rolled up in a place by itself.

8
Then the other disciple who came there first went in; and he saw and belief came to him.

9
For at that time they had no knowledge that the Writings said that he would have to come again from the dead.

☆ Acts 10:34a, 37-43

34a
Then Peter said,

37
That word you yourselves have knowledge of, which was made public through all Judaea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism of which John was the preacher,

38
About Jesus of Nazareth, how God gave the Holy Spirit to him, with power: and how he went about doing good and making well all who were troubled by evil spirits, for God was with him.

39
And we are witnesses of all the things which he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they put to death, hanging him on a tree.

40
On the third day God gave him back to life, and let him be seen,

41
Not by all the people, but by witnesses marked out before by God, even by us, who took food and drink with him after he came back from the dead.

42
And he gave us orders to give news of this to the people, and to give public witness that this is he whom God has made judge of the living and the dead.

43
To him all the prophets give witness, that through his name everyone who has faith in him will have forgiveness of sins.

☆ Colossians 3:1-4

1
If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

2
Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.

3
For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.

4
At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory.

Or
1 Corinthians 5:6b-8

6b
Do you not see that a little leaven makes a change in all the mass?

7
Take away, then, the old leaven, so that you may be a new mass, even as you are without leaven. For Christ has been put to death as our Passover.

8
Let us then keep the feast, not with old leaven, and not with the leaven of evil thoughts and acts, but with the unleavened bread of true thoughts and right feelings.
