PRAYER OF THE DAY
O God, you gave your only Son to suffer death on the cross for our redemption, and by
his glorious resurrection you delivered us from the power of death. Make us die every
day to sin, that we may live with him forever in the joy of the resurrection, through your
Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and resigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and forever. Amen.

RESPONSIVE PSALM
Psalm 118: 1-2, 14-24
This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
1
O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his steadfast love endures for ever!
2
Let Israel say, ‘His steadfast love endures for ever.’
14
The LORD is my strength and my might; he has become my salvation.
15
There are glad songs of victory in the tents of the righteous: ‘The right hand of the LORD
does valiantly;
16
the right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.’
17
I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the LORD.
18
The LORD has punished me severely, but he did not give me over to death.
19
Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to
the LORD.
20
This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it.
21
I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation.
22
The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.
23
This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.
24
This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
FIRST READING
Acts 10:34-43
Peter crosses the immense religious and social boundary that separates Jews from Gentiles in
order to proclaim the good news of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, so that God’s forgiveness
in Jesus’ name would reach out to the Gentiles just as it had to Jews.
34
Then Peter began to speak to them: ‘I truly understand that God shows no partiality, 35but in
every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. 36You know the
message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of
all. 37That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John
announced: 38how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he
went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with
him. 39We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death
by hanging him on a tree; 40but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, 41not
to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with
him after he rose from the dead. 42He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that
he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. 43All the prophets testify
about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.’
SECOND READING
I Corinthians 15:1-11
The core of the Christian faith and Paul’s preaching is the death and resurrection of Jesus
Christ. As the crucified and risen Christ appeared to the earliest of his followers, so we
experience the presence of the risen Lord in the preaching of this faith.
1
Now I should remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you,
which you in turn received, in which also you stand, 2through which also you are being saved,
if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you—unless you have come to believe in
vain.
3
For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for
our sins in accordance with the scriptures,4and that he was buried, and that he was raised on
the third day in accordance with the scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the
twelve. 6Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of
whom are still alive, though some have died.7Then he appeared to James, then to all the
apostles. 8Last of all, as to someone untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9For I am the least
of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10But by
the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace towards me has not been in vain. On the
contrary, I worked harder than any of them—though it was not I, but the grace of God that is
with me.11Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you have come to believe.
GOSPEL
Matthew 28:1-10
Sorrow gives way to “fear and great joy” when two women are sent by an angel to proclaim
the good news: Jesus is risen!
P: The holy gospel according to Matthew, the 28th chapter.
C: Glory to you, O Lord.
1
After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other
Mary went to see the tomb. 2And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the
Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance
was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 4For fear of him the guards shook and
became like dead men. 5But the angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid; I know that you
are looking for Jesus who was crucified. 6He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said.
Come, see the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples, “He has been raised
from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.” This is
my message for you.’ 8So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his
disciples. 9Suddenly Jesus met them and said, ‘Greetings!’ And they came to him, took hold of
his feet, and worshipped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; go and tell my
brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.’
P: The gospel of the Lord.
C: Praise to you, O Christ.
