Today's Catholic Mass Readings & Gospel Reflection - Tuesday, April 2, 2024

Reading 1: Acts 2:36-41
Resp: PS 33:4-5, 18-19, 20 and 22
Gospel: John 20:11-18

Tuesday in the Octave of Easter
Lectionary: 262

Reading 1: Acts 2:36-41
On the day of Pentecost, Peter said to the Jewish people, “Therefore, may the entire house of Israel know most certainly that God has made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

Now when they had heard these things, they were contrite in heart, and they said to Peter and to the other Apostles: “What should we do, noble brothers?” Yet truly, Peter said to them: “Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the Promise is for you and for your sons, and for all who are far away: for whomever the Lord our God will have called.” And then, with very many other words, he testified and he exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this depraved generation.” Therefore, those who accepted his discourse were baptized. And about three thousand souls were added on that day.


Responsorial Psalm: PS 33:4-5, 18-19, 20 and 22
R. (5b) The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness. He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord
R. The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

Behold the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him: and on those who hope in his mercy. To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.
R. The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

Our soul waits for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector. Let your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in you.
R. The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.


Sequence - optional
Victimae Paschali Laudes

Christians, to the Paschal Victim Offer your thankful praises! A Lamb the sheep redeems; Christ, who only is sinless, Reconciles sinners to the Father. Death and life have contended in that combat stupendous: The Prince of life, who died, reigns immortal. Speak, Mary, declaring What you saw, wayfaring. “The tomb of Christ, who is living, The glory of Jesus’ resurrection; bright angels attesting, The shroud and napkin resting. Yes, Christ my hope is arisen; to Galilee he goes before you.” Christ indeed from death is risen, our new life obtaining. Have mercy, victor King, ever reigning! Amen. Alleluia.


Alleluia: Ps 118:24
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
This is the day the LORD has made;
let us be glad and rejoice in it.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel: John 20:11-18
Mary Magdalene was standing outside the tomb, weeping. Then, while she was weeping, she bowed down and gazed into the tomb. And she saw two Angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been placed, one at the head, and one at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have placed him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her: “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you seeking?” Considering that it was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have moved him, tell me where you have placed him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” And turning, she said to him, “Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher). Jesus said to her: “Do not touch me. For I have not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brothers and tell them: ‘I am ascending to my Father and to your Father, to my God and to your God.’ ” Mary Magdalene went, announcing to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord, and these are the things that he said to me.”
