Readings, Responsorial and Gospel

Reading 1 - Acts 10:34a, 37-43 Peter proceeded to speak and said: “You know what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. We are witness-es of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree. This man God raised on the third day and granted that he be visible, not to all the people, but to us, the witnesses chosen by God in advance, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He com-missioned us to preach to the people and testify that he is the one appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead. To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in him will receive for-giveness of sins through his name.” Responsorial Psalm - 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23 R. This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his mercy endures forever. Let the house of Israel say, His mercy endures forever.” R. This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad. “The right hand of the LORD has struck with power; the right hand of the LORD is exalted. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.” R. This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad. The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. By the LORD has this been done; it is wonderful in our eyes. R. This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad. Reading 2 - Col 3:1-4 Brothers and sisters: If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Think of what is above, not of what is on earth. For you have died, and your life is hid-den with Christ in God. When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory. Gospel - Jn 20:1-9 On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disci-ple whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him.” So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first; he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in. When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place. Then the oth-er disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed. For they did not yet understand the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead.

Domingo de Pascua: La Resurrección del Señor 4 de abril de 2021 Page 7

Lecturas

Primera lectura - Hch 10, 34a. 37-43 En aquellos días, Pedro tomó la palabra y dijo: “Ya saben ustedes lo sucedido en toda Judea, que tuvo principio en Galilea, después del bautismo predicado por Juan: cómo Dios ungió con el poder del Espíritu Santo a Jesús de Nazaret, y cómo éste pasó haciendo el bien, sanando a todos los oprimidos por el diablo, porque Dios estaba con él. Nosotros somos testigos de cuanto él hizo en Judea y en Jerusalén. Lo mataron colgándolo de la cruz, pero Dios lo resucitó al tercer día y concedió verlo, no a todo el pueblo, sino únicamente a los testigos que él, de antemano, había escogido: a nosotros, que hemos comido y bebido con él después de que resucitó de entre los muertos. Él nos mandó predicar al pueblo y dar testimonio de que Dios lo ha constituido juez de vivos y muertos. El testi-monio de los profetas es unánime: que cuantos creen en él reciben, por su medio, el perdón de los pecados’’. Salmo Responsorial - Salmo 117, 1-2. 16ab-17. 22-23 R. Éste es el día del triunfo del Señor. Aleluya. Te damos gracias, Señor, porque eres bueno, porque tu misericordia es eterna. Diga la casa de Israel: “Su misericordia es eterna”. R. Éste es el día del triunfo del Señor. Aleluya. La diestra del Señor es poderosa, la diestra del Señor es nuestro orgullo. No moriré, continuaré viviendo para contar lo que el Señor ha hecho. R. Éste es el día del triunfo del Señor. Aleluya. La piedra que desecharon los constructors es ahora la piedra angular. Esto es obra de la mano del Señor, es un milagro patente. R. Éste es el día del triunfo del Señor. Aleluya. Segunda lectura - Col 3, 1-4 Hermanos: Puesto que han resucitado con Cristo, busquen los bienes de arriba, donde está Cristo, sentado a la derecha de Dios. Pongan todo el corazón en los bienes del cielo, no en los de la tierra, porque han muerto y su vida está escon-dida con Cristo en Dios. Cuando se manifieste Cristo, vida de ustedes, entonces también ustedes se manifestarán glorio-sos, juntamente con él. Evangelio - Jn 20, 1-9 El primer día después del sábado, estando todavía oscuro, fue María Magdalena al sepulcro y vio removida la pie-dra que lo cerraba. Echó a correr, llegó a la casa donde estaban Simón Pedro y el otro discípulo, a quien Jesús am-aba, y les dijo: “Se han llevado del sepulcro al Señor y no sabemos dónde lo habrán puesto”. Salieron Pedro y el otro discípulo camino del sepulcro. Los dos iban corriendo juntos, pero el otro discípulo cor-rió más aprisa que Pedro y llegó primero al sepulcro, e inclinándose, miró los lienzos puestos en el suelo, pero no entró. En eso llegó también Simón Pedro, que lo venía siguiendo, y entró en el sepulcro. Contempló los lienzos puestos en el suelo y el sudario, que había estado sobre la cabeza de Jesús, puesto no con los lienzos en el suelo, sino do-blado en sitio aparte. Entonces entró también el otro discípulo, el que había llegado primero al sepulcro, y vio y creyó, porque hasta entonces no habían entendido las Escrituras, según las cuales Jesús debía resucitar de entre los muertos.

Domingo de Pascua: La Resurrección del Señor 4 de abril de 2021 Page 8

ALÉGRENSE Y REGOCÍJENSE Durante los primeros tres o cuatro siglos del cristianismo, si se le preguntaba a un cristiano el nombre de las fiestas de la Iglesia, su respuesta habría sido una mirada de sorpresa por-que había una sola fiesta: la Resurrección del Señor. Cada domingo era una celebración de la gran fiesta. A pesar de que nuestro calendario tiene ahora muchas fiestas hermosas y san-tas, continuamente debemos ser llamados de nuevo al hecho de que todas estas fiestas existen a causa de la fiesta del paso (Pascua) de Cristo de la muerte a la vida. El Salmo de hoy proclama este mensaje así: “Este es el día”. No es uno de mu-chos días, pero es el día de todos los días, el que da a todos los demás su origen, propósito, significado y destino. Escu-chen con atención el discurso de Pedro en Hechos recordando la Pasión, las palabras del apóstol Pablo y al recuento que hacen María Magdalena, Juan y Pedro al encontrar la tumba vacía, y oirán las obras maravillosas que Dios ha hecho para nosotros en Cristo. ¡Alégrense y regocíjense!
