THE GOSPEL

John 20:19-31

He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving,
    but believe.”

The Lord God formed them out of clay
and blew into their nostrils
the breath
 of life.

My Lord and my God!

Jesus breathed on them
and gave them
 his own
  Spirit.

My Lord and my God!

Christ Jesus, fill us with your
 very own life so we can
 take your love and
 forgiveness to
every single
person on
earth.

 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 in 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,
so that there is not one person
left needy in this
world.

Let us help you to make it happen

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 made peace with the world.

By your grace let us love you,
and love one
another, 

and spread your peace
 throughout the
world.
