Children's message
FIRST READING: Acts 10:34-43
34Then Peter began to speak to them: "I truly understand that God shows no partiality, 35but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. 36You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all. 37That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: 38how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. 39We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; 40but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, 41not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. 43All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."
Word of the
Lord. Thanks be to God
SPECIAL MUSIC
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:1-11
1Now I would
remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you,
which you in turn received, in which also you stand, 2through which also you
are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you—unless
you have come to believe in vain.
3For I handed on to you
as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our
sins in accordance with the scriptures, 4and that he was buried,
and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the
scriptures, 5and that he
appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6Then he appeared to more
than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still
alive, though some have died. 7Then he appeared to James, then to all the
apostles. 8Last of all,
as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9For I am the least of
the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of
God. 10But by the
grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On
the contrary, I worked harder than any of them—though it was not I, but the
grace of God that is with me. 11Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim
and so you have come to believe.
Word of the
Lord. Thanks be to God
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
GOSPEL: John 20:1-18
The Holy Gospel according to Saint John the 20th
chapter. Glory to you O Lord.
1Early on the first day of the week, while
it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had
been removed from the tomb. 2So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other
disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord
out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” 3Then Peter and the other
disciple set out and went toward the tomb. 4The two were running
together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5He bent down to look in
and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. 6Then Simon Peter came, following
him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, 7and the cloth that had
been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a
place by itself. 8Then the
other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and
believed; 9for as yet
they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10Then the disciples
returned to their homes.
11But Mary stood weeping
outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; 12and she saw two angels
in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and
the other at the feet. 13They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”
She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they
have laid him.” 14When she had
said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know
that it was Jesus. 15Jesus said
to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” Supposing him
to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell
me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” 16Jesus said to her,
“Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” (which means
Teacher). 17Jesus said
to her, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father.
But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your
Father, to my God and your God.’ ” 18Mary Magdalene went and announced to the
disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them that he had said these
things to her
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise
to you, O Christ.

APOSTLES CREED
I believe in God, the
Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
God's only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born
of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,
died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day
he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right
hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy
Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen
