First Reading
Acts 2:36-41
36Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."
37Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?"
38And Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him."
40And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation."
41So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 33:4-5, 18-20, 22
4For the word of the LORD is upright; and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.
18Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19that he may deliver their soul from death, and keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and shield.
22Let thy steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in thee.
Gospel
John 20:11-18
11But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb;
12and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.
13They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him."
14Saying this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus.
15Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you seek?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."
16Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rab-bo'ni!" (which means Teacher).
17Jesus said to her, "Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."
18Mary Mag'dalene went and said to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"; and she told them that he had said these things to her.
