First Reading

Convert and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

From the Acts of the Apostles
Acts 2:36-41

[Nel giorno di Pentecoste,] diceva Pietro diceva ai Giudei: «Sappia dunque con certezza tutta la casa di Israele che Dio ha costituito Signore e Cristo quel Gesù che voi avete crocifisso!».

All’udire queste cose si sentirono trafiggere il cuore e dissero a Pietro e agli altri apostoli: «Che cosa dobbiamo fare, fratelli?». E Pietro disse: «Convertitevi e ciascuno di voi si faccia battezzare nel nome di Gesù Cristo, per il perdono dei vostri peccati, e riceverete il dono dello Spirito Santo.

For the promise is for you and for your children and for all those who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call." With many other words he bore witness and exhorted them: "Save yourselves from this perverse generation!".

Then those who accepted his word were baptized, and about three thousand people were added that day.

God's word.

Responsorial Psalm
From Ps 32 (33)

R. The earth is full of the love of the Lord.
Or:
R. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

Straight is the word of the Lord
and every work of his is faithful.
He loves justice and law;
the earth is full of the love of the Lord. R.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
on those who hope for his love,
to deliver him from death
and feed him in time of hunger. R.

Our soul awaits the Lord:
he is our help and our shield.
May your love be upon us, Lord,
as we hope from you. R.

Gospel acclamation

Hallelujah, hallelujah.

This is the day made by the Lord:
let us rejoice and rejoice. (Ps 117.24)

Alleluia.
 

Gospel

I saw the Lord and he told me these things.

From the Gospel according to John
Jn 20:11-18

At that time, Maria was outside, near the tomb, e piangeva.

Mentre piangeva, si chinò verso il sepolcro e vide due angeli in bianche vesti, seduti l’uno dalla parte del capo e l’altro dei piedi, dove era stato posto il corpo di Gesù.

And they said to her: «Woman, why are you crying?". He replied to them: "They have taken away my Lord and I do not know where they have placed him."
Detto questo, si voltò indietro e vide Gesù, in piedi; ma non sapeva che fosse Gesù. Le disse Gesù: «Donna, perché piangi? Chi cerchi?».

She, thinking that he was the guardian of the garden, said to him: "Lord, if you took him away, tell me where you put him and I will go and get him." Jesus said to her: «Mary!».

She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” – which means: «Master!». Jesus said to her: «Do not hold me back, because I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them: 'I ascend to my Father and your Father, my God and your God'".

Mary of Magdala he immediately went to announce to the disciples: "I have seen the Lord!" and what he had told her.

Word of the Lord.
