Opening Prayer

The Liturgy of the Word

First Reading Acts 10:34a, 37-43

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 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 witnesses 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 commissioned 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 forgiveness of sins through his name.”

Second Reading Colossians 3:1-4

A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Colossians 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 hidden with Christ in God. When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory.

Verse 3: Christians sing his glory with every breath; Sing of his kingdom, victorious o’er death! Jesus grant us mercy, new life from heaven; Christ ever reigns! Alleluia! Amen! R:

Gospel Acclamation

Gospel John 20:1-9

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John 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 disciple 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 other 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.

Prayer at the time of Pandemic

Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas. We fly to you today as your beloved children.

We ask you to intercede for us with your Son, as you did at the wedding in Cana. Pray for us, loving Mother, and gain for our nation and world,

and for all our families and loved ones, the protection of your holy angels, that we may be spared the worst of this illness.

For those already afflicted, we ask you to obtain the grace of healing and deliverance. Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful,

wipe away their tears and help them to trust. In this time of trial and testing, teach all of us in the Church

to love one another and to be patient and kind. Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our hearts.

We come to you with confidence, knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother, health of the sick and cause of our joy.

Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, keep us in the embrace of your arms, help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus.

Amen.

The Liturgy of the Eucharist

Preparation of the Altar and Gifts

In Christ Alone Verse 1: Verse 2: In Christ alone my hope is found, In Christ alone! - who took on flesh, He is my light, my strength, my song Fullness of God in helpless babe. This Cornerstone, this solid Ground This gift of love and righteousness, Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. Scorned by the ones He came to save What heights of love, what depths of peace Till on that cross as Jesus died, When fears are stilled, when strivings cease The wrath of God was satisfied My Comforter, my All in All For every sin on Him was laid Here in the love of Christ I stand. Here in the death of Christ I live.

Verse 3: Verse 4: There in the ground His body lay, No guilt in life, no fear in death, Light of the world by darkness slain: This is the power of Christ in me Then bursting forth in glorious day From life's first cry to final breath, Up from the grave He rose again Jesus commands my destiny And as He stands in victory No power of hell, no scheme of man Sin's curse has lost its grip on me, Can ever pluck me from His hand For I am His and He is mine Till He returns or calls me home Bought with the precious blood of Christ Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

Holy Communion

Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul.

Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, Come at least spiritually into my heart.

As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You;

Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

I am the Bread of Life
