THE GOSPEL
John 20:19-31As the Father has sent me, so I send you.
Christ
Come right through our fear-shut doors;
breathe your Holy Spirit into us.
Give us please your peace
that comes from
perfect
love,
to
us,
not
to hoard
such treasure,
but to give it out
to all who would believe.
Make us instruments
of the power
of your
resurrection!
THE FIRST READING
Acts 2:42-47
They ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart.
Bread
broken, and
eaten, together.
They knew they were fed,
made one, every one, in Christ Jesus.
We thank you for the Eucharist, which unites us too.
Let us share each other’s needs and joys.
Help us love each other
well.
THE SECOND READING
1 Peter 1:3-9Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who in his great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope.
Christ,
though we haven’t
seen you,
we love
you.
Though our poor minds cannot
grasp you very well,
we believe
in you.
And with indescribable joy
in your resurrection
we hope in
you
always.
