First Reading Acts 10:34, 37-43 A reading from the Acts of the Apostles Peter addressed Cornelius and his household: You must have heard about the recent happenings in Ju-daea; about Jesus of Nazareth and how he began in Galilee, after John had been preaching baptism. God had anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and because God was with him, Jesus went about doing good and curing all who had fallen into the power of the devil.' Now I, and those with me, can witness to everything he did throughout the countryside of Judaea and in Jerusalem itself: and also to the fact that they killed him by hanging him on a tree, yet three days afterwards God raised him to life and allowed him to be seen, not by the whole people but only by certain witnesses God had chosen beforehand. Now we are those witnesses - we have eaten and drunk with him after his resurrection from the dead - and he has ordered us to proclaim this to his people and to tell them that God has appointed him to judge everyone, alive or dead. It is to him that all the prophets bear this witness: that all who believe in Jesus will have their sins forgiven through his name.' The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 117:1-2, 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 love has no end. Let the sons of Israel say: 'His love has no end.' R. The Lord's right hand has triumphed; his right hand raised me up. I shall not die, I shall live and recount his deeds. R. The stone which the builders rejected has become the corner stone. This is the work of the Lord, a marvel in our eyes. R.

Second Reading 1 Corinthians 5:6-8 A reading from the first letter of St Paul to the Corin-thians You must know how even a small amount of yeast is enough to leaven all the dough, so get rid of all the old yeast, and make yourselves into a completely new batch of bread, unleavened as you are meant to be. Christ, our passover, has been sacrificed; let us celebrate the feast, by getting rid of all the old yeast

of evil and wickedness, having only the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 Alleluia, alleluia! Christ has become our paschal sacrifice; let us feast with joy in the Lord. Alleluia!

Gospel John 20:1-9 A reading from the holy Gospel according to John It was very early on the first day of the week and still dark, when Mary of Magdala came to the tomb. She saw that the stone had been moved away from the tomb and came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved. 'They have taken the Lord out of the tomb' she said 'and we don't know where they have put him.' So Peter set out with the other disciple to go to the tomb. They ran together, but the other disciple, running faster than Peter, reached the tomb first; he bent down and saw the linen cloths lying on the ground, but did not go in. Simon Peter who was following now came up, went right into the tomb, saw the linen cloths on the ground, and also the cloth that had been over his head; this was not with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in; he saw and he believed. Till this moment they had failed to understand the teaching of scripture, that he must rise from the dead. The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Introduction: CHRIST IS RFISEN, ALLELUIA! The empty tomb, and the

neatly folded burial cloths, were signs that led the Beloved Disciple to believe that Jesus had risen from the dead. In the witness of the apostles,

and the faithfulness, courage and love of our fellow Christians, we too have powerful signs that Christ is risen and lives among us. Observing them, our faith cries out : ‘Alleluia’

Entrance Antiphon: I have risen, and I am with you still, alleluia. You have laid your hand upon me, alleluia. Too wonderful for me, this knowledge, alleluia, alleluia. Prayers of the Faithful: Grant this, almighty God Memorial Acclamation: When we eat this bread and drink this Cup,

we proclaim your Death, O Lord, until you come again.

Communion Antiphon: Christ our Passover has been sacrificed, alleluia; therefore let us keep the feast with the unleavened bread of purity and truth, alleluia, alleluia.

ARCHDIOCESE OF ADELAIDE

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS Jesus you are the Good Shepherd who is always

mindful of your Church. Watch over those who are

baptised in your name and grant peace and

harmony to all families. We ask you to choose from

the families of our parishes many priests, deacons,

sisters and brothers who will gladly spend their

lives making you known and loved. Amen

Restoration Fund

You may have noticed that some of our sacred

vessels and brassware has been restored and

polished. Quite possibly you hadn’t noticed that

the deterioration of the Tabernacles in each

church had become so severe that if left another

twelve months they would have required replace-

ment costing upwards of $15,000 each.

As part of our Stewardship of the resources we

have inherited and hold in trust for the future we

have set up a Liturgical Restoration Fund. This

Fund will be for the restoration, refurbishment and

maintenance of our sacred vessels and church

ware (Church Plate). For more information,

please contact Parish Office.
