THE GOSPEL
John 20:19-31He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
The Lord God formed them out of clay
and blew into their nostrils
the breath
of life.
My Lord and my God!
He gave them
his own
Spirit.
My Lord and my God!
Christ Jesus, we know
that you died for us.
Fill us with your
very own
life.
My Lord and my God!
THE FIRST READING
Acts 4:32-35
There was no needy person among them.
No one
owned anything.
They shared all they had.
No person of need did without.
One heart and one mind was theirs.
Christ was their food. Christ was their life.
Lord,
let our love for you bind us to each other.
Let us help you to make it happen
that there is not one person
left needy in this
world.
THE SECOND READING
1 John 5:1-6
For the love of God is this, that we keep his commandments.
And his commandments are not burdensome.
Lord,
through your
death and resurrection
you make peace with the world.
By your grace, let us love you,
and love each other.
And spread your peace
throughout the
world.
