First Reading

Acts 2:36-41

36Therefore, may the entire house of Israel know most certainly that God has made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” 37Now when they had heard these things, they were contrite in heart, and they said to Peter and to the other Apostles: “What should we do, noble brothers?” 38Yet truly, Peter said to them: “Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39For the Promise is for you and for your sons, and for all who are far away: for whomever the Lord our God will have called.” 40And then, with very many other words, he testified and he exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this depraved generation.” 41Therefore, those who accepted his discourse were baptized. And about three thousand souls were added on that day.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 32

4For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are in faith. 5He loves mercy and judgment. The earth is full of the mercy of the Lord. 6By the word of the Lord, the heavens were established, and all their power, by the Spirit of his mouth: 7gathering together the waters of the sea, as if in a container, placing the depths in storage. 8Let all the earth fear the Lord, and may all the inhabitants of the world quake before him. 9For he spoke, and they became. He commanded, and they were created. 10The Lord scatters the counsels of the nations. Moreover, he reproves the thoughts of the people, and he rejects the counsels of the leaders. 11But the counsel of the Lord remains for eternity, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation. 12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his inheritance. 13The Lord has looked down from heaven. He has seen all the sons of men. 14From his well-prepared dwelling place, he has gazed upon all who dwell on the earth. 15He has formed the hearts of each one of them; he understands all their works. 16The king is not saved by great power, nor will the giant be saved by his many powers. 17The horse is false safety; for he will not be saved by the abundance of his powers. 18Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him and on those who hope in his mercy, 19so as to rescue their souls from death and to feed them during famine. 20Our soul remains with the Lord. For he is our helper and protector. 21For in him, our heart will rejoice, and in his holy name, we have hoped. 22Let your mercy be upon us, O Lord, just as we have hoped in you.

Gospel

John 20:11-18

11But Mary was standing outside the tomb, weeping. Then, while she was weeping, she bowed down and gazed into the tomb. 12And she saw two Angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been placed, 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 placed him.” 14When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15Jesus said to her: “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you seeking?” Considering that it was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have moved him, tell me where you have placed him, and I will take him away.” 16Jesus said to her, “Mary!” And turning, she said to him, “Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher). 17Jesus said to her: “Do not touch me. For I have not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brothers and tell them: ‘I am ascending to my Father and to your Father, to my God and to your God.’” 18Mary Magdalene went, announcing to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord, and these are the things that he said to me.”
