Greeting

Penitential Act: Confiteor

I confess to almighty God and to you,
my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done
and in what I have failed to do,

through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;

Therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints;
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.


-AND/OR-


Lord have Mercy,

Christ have Mercy,

Lord have Mercy

Liturgy of the Word


1st Reading Acts 10:34a, 37-43 Peter proceeded

to speak and said:

“You know what has

happened all over Judea, 

beginning in Galilee

after the baptism

that John preached, 

how God anointed

Jesus of Nazareth

with the Holy Spirit

and power.

He went about

doing good

and healing all those

oppressed by the devil, 

for God was with him.

We are witnesses

of all that he did

both in the country

of the Jews and in Jerusalem.

They put him to death

by hanging him on a tree.

This man God raised

on the third day

and granted

that he be visible,

not to all the

people, but to us,

the witnesses chosen

by God in advance,

who ate and drank with him

after he rose from the dead.

He commissioned us

to preach to the people

and testify that he is

the one appointed by God

as judge of the

living and the dead.

To him all the

prophets bear witness,

that everyone

who believes in him

will receive forgiveness

of sins through his name.”

The Word of the Lord,

        ~Thanks be to God


Responsorial Psalm 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23

R. This is the day the Lord has made;

let us rejoice and be glad.

Give thanks to the LORD,

for he is good,

    for his mercy

endures forever.

Let the house of Israel say,

    “His mercy endures forever.”

R.  This is the day the Lord has made;

let us rejoice and be glad.

“The right hand of the LORD

has struck with power;

    the right hand of

the LORD is exalted.

I shall not die, but live,

    and declare the works of the LORD.”

R.  This is the day the Lord has made;

let us rejoice and be glad.

The stone which

the builders rejected

    has become the cornerstone.

By the LORD

has this been done;

    it is wonderful in our eyes.

R.  This is the day the Lord has made;

let us rejoice and be glad.




2nd Reading Col 3:1-4

Brothers and sisters:

If then you were

raised with Christ,

seek what is above, 

where Christ is seated

at the right hand of God.

Think of what is above,

not of what is on earth.

For you have died,

and your life is hidden

with Christ in God.

When Christ your

life appears,

then you too will appear

with him in glory.


The Word of the Lord,

        ~Thanks be to God

Sequence


Alleluia 

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Now he is living the Christ.

Out of the tomb he is risen.

He has conquered death,

opened heaven to all believers.

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.



Gospel Jn 20:1-9

On the first day of the week,

Mary of Magdala

came to the tomb

early in the morning,

while it was still dark, 

and saw the stone

removed from the tomb.

So she ran and

went to Simon Peter 

and to the other disciple

whom Jesus loved,

and told them, 

“They have taken

the Lord from the tomb, 

and we don’t know

where they put him.”

So Peter and the

other disciple went out

and came to the tomb.

They both ran, but the other disciple

ran faster

than Peter and arrived

at the tomb first; 

he bent down and saw

the burial cloths there,

but did not go in.

When Simon Peter arrived after him, 

he went into the tomb and

saw the burial cloths there, 

and the cloth that

had covered his head, 

not with the burial cloths

but rolled up in

a separate place.

Then the other

disciple also went in, 

the one who had

arrived at the tomb first, 

and he saw and believed.

For they did not

yet understand the Scripture 

that he had to rise

from the dead.

2nd Communion Song


















Spiritual Communion:

My Jesus, I believe that you are present

in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love you above all things,

and I desire to receive you into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,

Come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there

And unite myself wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.

Vocations Prayer

Lord Jesus, You said to your disciples,

"I am the way the truth and the life."

Give young people the gift of discernment, 

to find their way and embrace their true vocation,

 the life for which you have created them.


In all that lies before them, help them discern a life 

that is pleasing to you,

whether to Christian marriage,

to priesthood, 

or the consecrated religious life.


Send your Holy Spirit to inspire them.

Grant them the grace to embrace 

a life of joyful service.

Fulfill their desires to make a

generous gift of themselves to others,

after your example.

Give them the loving support of family and friends

 as they prayerfully discern their vocation in this life.


We ask this through Christ our Lord.

  ~ Amen
