Very early when the sun had risen, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb. They were saying to one another, «Who will roll back the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?» When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back; it was very large. On entering the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were utterly amazed. He said to them, «Do not be amazed! You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him. But go and tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you.'» Then they went out and fled from the tomb, seized with trembling and bewilderment. Christ the Lord is risen! Alleluia. Alleluia. READING A reading of the Acts of the Apostles (16:22-34) In those days, The crowd joined in the attack on Paul and Silas, and the magistrates had them stripped and ordered them to be beaten with rods. After inflicting many blows on them, they threw them into prison and instructed the jailer to guard them securely. When he received these instructions, he put them in the innermost cell and secured their feet to a stake. About midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God as the prisoners listened, there was suddenly such a severe earthquake that the foundations of the jail shook; all the doors flew open, and the chains of all were pulled loose. When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open, he drew [his] sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted out in a loud voice, «Do no harm to yourself; we are all here.» He asked for a light and rushed in and, trembling with fear, he fell down before Paul and Silas. Then he brought them out and said, «Sirs, what must I do to be saved?» And they said, «Believe in the Lord Jesus and you and your household will be saved.» So they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house. He took them in at that hour of the night and bathed their wounds; then he and all his family were baptized at once. He brought them up into his house and provided a meal and with his household rejoiced at having come to faith in God. The Word of God. PSALM Psalm 97 R. The Lord has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations. Or: R. Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. Sing a new song to the Lord, for he has done marvelous deeds. His right hand and holy arm have won the victory. R. The Lord has made his victory known; has revealed his triumph in the sight of the nations, He has remembered his mercy and faithfulness toward the house of Israel. R. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God. Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth; break into song; sing praise. R. EPISTLE The letter of saint Paul to the Colossians (1:24-29) Brothers: I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of his body, which is the church, of which I am a minister in accordance with God’s stewardship given to me to bring to completion for you the word of God, the mystery hidden from ages and from generations past. But now it has been manifested to his holy ones, to whom God chose to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; it is Christ in you, the hope for glory. It is he whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. For this I labor and struggle, in accord with the exercise of his power working within me. The Word of God. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION (Jn 14:6) Alleluia. I am the way and the truth and the life, says the Lord. No one comes to the Father except through me. Alleluia. GOSPEL A reading of the holy gospel according to John (14:1-11a) In that time, The Lord Jesus said to the disciples: «Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where [I] am going you know the way.» Thomas said to him, «Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?» Jesus said to him, «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.» The word of the Lord.

III DOMENICA DI PASQUA 3e DIMANCHE DE PÂQUES Rite ambrosien FRANÇAIS ÉVANGILE DE LA RÉSURRECTION Annonce de la résurrection de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ selon saint Marc (16, 1-8a) Le sabbat terminé, Marie Madeleine, Marie, mère de Jacques, et Salomé achetèrent des parfums pour aller embaumer le corps de Jésus. De grand matin, le premier jour de la semaine, elles se rendent au tombeau dès le lever du soleil. Elles se disaient entre elles : « Qui nous roulera la pierre pour dégager l’entrée du tombeau ? » Levant les yeux, elles s’aperçoivent qu’on a roulé la pierre, qui était pourtant très grande. En entrant dans le tombeau, elles virent, assis à droite, un jeune homme vêtu de blanc. Elles furent saisies de frayeur. Mais il leur dit : « Ne soyez pas effrayées ! Vous cherchez Jésus de Nazareth, le Crucifié ? Il est ressuscité : il n’est pas ici. Voici l’endroit où on l’avait déposé. Et maintenant, allez dire à ses disciples et à Pierre : 'Il vous précède en Galilée. Là vous le verrez, comme il vous l’a dit.' » Elles sortirent et s’enfuirent du tombeau, parce qu’elles étaient toutes tremblantes et hors d’elles-mêmes. Notre Seigneur Jésus Christ est ressuscité ! Alléluia ! Alléluia ! LECTURE Lecture des Actes des apôtres (16, 22-34) En ces jours-là, La foule se déchaîna contre Paul et Silas. Les magistrats ordonnèrent de leur arracher les vêtements pour leur donner la bastonnade. Après les avoir roués de coups, on les jeta en prison, en donnant au geôlier la consigne de les surveiller de près. Pour appliquer cette consigne, il les mit tout au fond de la prison, avec les pieds coincés dans des blocs de bois. Vers le milieu de la nuit, Paul et Silas priaient et chantaient les louanges de Dieu, et les autres détenus les écoutaient. Tout à coup, il y eut un violent tremblement de terre, qui secoua les fondations de la prison : à l’instant même, toutes les portes s’ouvrirent, et les liens de tous les détenus se détachèrent. Le geôlier, tiré de son sommeil, vit que les portes de la prison étaient ouvertes ; croyant que les détenus s’étaient évadés, il dégaina son épée et il était sur le point de se donner la mort. Mais Paul se mit à crier d’une voix forte : « Ne va pas te faire de mal, nous sommes tous là. » Ayant réclamé de la lumière, le geôlier se précipita et, tout tremblant, se jeta aux pieds de Paul et de Silas. Puis il les emmena dehors et leur demanda : « Que dois-je faire pour être sauvé, mes seigneurs ? » Ils lui répondirent : « Crois au Seigneur Jésus, et tu seras sauvé, toi et toute ta maison. » Ils lui annoncèrent la parole du Seigneur, ainsi qu’à tous ceux qui vivaient dans sa maison. À l’heure même, en pleine nuit, le geôlier les emmena pour laver leurs plaies. Aussitôt, il reçut le baptême avec tous les siens. Puis il fit monter chez lui Paul et Silas, il fit préparer la table et, avec toute sa maison, il laissa déborder sa joie de croire en Dieu.
