  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  1 Cor 15:1-8

  I am reminding you, brothers and sisters,
  of the Gospel I preached to you,
  which you indeed received and in which you also stand.
  Through it you are also being saved,
  if you hold fast to the word I preached to you,
  unless you believed in vain.
  For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received:
  that Christ died for our sins
  in accordance with the Scriptures;
  that he was buried;
  that he was raised on the third day
  in accordance with the Scriptures;
  that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.
  After that, he appeared to more
  than five hundred brothers and sisters at once,
  most of whom are still living,
  though some have fallen asleep.
  After that he appeared to James,
  then to all the Apostles.
  Last of all, as to one born abnormally,
  he appeared to me.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 14:6-14

  Jesus said to Thomas, “I am the way and the truth and the life.
  No one comes to the Father except through me.
  If you know me, then you will also know my Father.
  From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
  Philip said to him,
  “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
  Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time
  and you still do not know me, Philip?
  Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.
  How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
  Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
  The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own.
  The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.
  Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me,
  or else, believe because of the works themselves.
  Amen, amen, I say to you,
  whoever believes in me will do the works that I do,
  and will do greater ones than these,
  because I am going to the Father.
  And whatever you ask in my name, I will do,
  so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
  If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.”

  Easter Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  acts 2:14a, 36-41

  Then Peter stood up with the Eleven,
  raised his voice, and proclaimed:
  "Let the whole house of Israel know for certain
  that God has made both Lord and Christ,
  this Jesus whom you crucified."
  Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart,
  and they asked Peter and the other apostles,
  "What are we to do, my brothers?"
  Peter said to them,
  "Repent and be baptized, every one of you,
  in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins;
  and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
  For the promise is made to you and to your children
  and to all those far off,
  whomever the Lord our God will call."
  He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them,
  "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."
  Those who accepted his message were baptized,
  and about three thousand persons were added that day.

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  1 pt 2:20b-25

  Beloved:
  If you are patient when you suffer for doing what is good,
  this is a grace before God.
  For to this you have been called,
  because Christ also suffered for you,
  leaving you an example that you should follow in his footsteps.
  He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth
  .
  When he was insulted, he returned no insult;
  when he suffered, he did not threaten;
  instead, he handed himself over to the one who judges justly.
  He himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross,
  so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness.
  By his wounds you have been healed.
  For you had gone astray like sheep,
  but you have now returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  jn 10:1-10

  Jesus said:
  "Amen, amen, I say to you,
  whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate
  but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber.
  But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
  The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice,
  as the shepherd calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
  When he has driven out all his own,
  he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him,
  because they recognize his voice.
  But they will not follow a stranger;
  they will run away from him,
  because they do not recognize the voice of strangers."
  Although Jesus used this figure of speech,
  the Pharisees did not realize what he was trying to tell them.
  So Jesus said again, "Amen, amen, I say to you,
  I am the gate for the sheep.
  All who came before me are thieves and robbers,
  but the sheep did not listen to them.
  I am the gate.
  Whoever enters through me will be saved,
  and will come in and go out and find pasture.
  A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy;
  I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly."
