COLLECT THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
FIRST READING Acts of the Apostles 3: 13-15, 17-19
PETER SAID to the people: “The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in Pilate’s presence when he had decided to release him. You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead; of this we are witnesses. Now I know, brothers, that you acted out of ignorance, just as your leaders did; but God has thus brought to fulfillment what he had announced beforehand through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer. Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away.”
The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. RESPONSORIAL Psalm 4: 2, 4, 7; Marier
O God of justice, give answer when I call; from anguish you released me; have mercy and hear me! Know that the Lord works wonders for his faithful one; the Lord will hear me whenever I call him.
“O that we might see better times,” many say. Lift up the light of your face on us, O Lord. In peace I will lie down and fall asleep, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
SECOND READING 1 John 2:1-5a
MY CHILDREN, I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one. He is expiation for our sins, and not for our sins only but for those of the whole world. The way we may be sure that we know him is to keep his commandments. Those who say, “I know him,” but do not keep his commandments are liars, and the truth is not in them. But whoever keeps his word, the love of God is truly perfected in him.
The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION O Filii et Filae, Mode II
V. LORD JESUS, OPEN the Scriptures to us; make our hearts burn while you speak to us.
11:30AM ALLELUIA Francisco Guerrero (d. 1599)
GOSPEL Luke 24:35-48
THE TWO DISCIPLES recounted what had taken place on the way, and how Jesus was made known to them in the breaking of bread. While they were still speaking about this, he stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” But they were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost. Then he said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do questions arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.” And as he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. While they were still incredulous for joy and were amazed, he asked them, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of baked fish; he took it and ate it in front of them. He said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. And he said to them, “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.”
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

CHOIR ANTHEM ~ 11:30AM Adoro te Devote, Clark
I devoutly adore you, hidden deity, Who are truly hidden beneath these appearances. My whole heart submits to You, because in contemplating You, it is fully deficient.
Sight, touch, taste all fail in their judgment of you, But hearing suffices firmly to believe. I believe all that the Son of God has spoken; There is nothing truer than this word of Truth.
On the cross only the divinity was hidden, But here the humanity is also hidden. Yet believing and confessing both, I ask for what the penitent thief asked.
Jesus, whom now I see hidden, I ask You to fulfill what I so desire: That the sight of Your Face being unveiled I may have the happiness of seeing Your glory. Amen.
