GLORIA Missa de angelis / Clark

COLLECT THE LITURGY OF THE WORD

FIRST READING Acts of the Apostles 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, Abbott/Marier

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/

“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/

The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. By the LORD has this been done; it is wonderful in our eyes. R/

SECOND READING Colossians 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.

Agnus redemit oves: The Lamb has redeemed the sheep: Christus innocens Patri Christ, the sinless one, reconciliavit peccatores. has reconciled sinners to the Father. Mors et vita duello Death and life have engaged conflixere mirando: in a wondrous conflict: dux vitae mortuus regnat vivus. the slain leader of life reigns alive! Dic nobis Maria, Tell us Mary, quid vidisti in via? what did you see on your way? Sepulcrum Christi viventis, I saw the sepulchre of the living Christ et gloriam vidi resurgentis. and the glory of Him rising: Angelicos testes, And I saw the angelic witnesses, sudarium, et vestes. the napkin, and the linen clothes. Surrexit Christus spes mea: Christ my hope has risen: praecedet suos in Galilaeam. he shall go before his own into Galilee. Scimus Christum surrexisse We know that Christ has truly risen a mortuis vere: from the dead: tu nobis, victor Rex, O thou, Victor, King, miserere. have mercy upon us.

ALLELUIA Francisco Guerrero (d. 1599) GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Mode VI

V. CHRIST, OUR PASHCAL LAMB, has been sacrificed; let us then feast with joy in the Lord.

GOSPEL John 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.

The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
