THE GOSPEL
John 20:19-31He 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.
