THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER
First Reading: Acts 3:13-15, 17-19
Peter reminds the people that they allowed Jesus to
be killed, and preferred to allow a murderer to be
released. But God raised him from the dead as had
been prophesied. Therefore, all people should believe and turn to God, that their sins might be forgiven.
Second Reading: I John 2:1-5a
Jesus was offered up for the sins of the world. The
only way to prove true faith in him, is to honor his
commandments. Anyone who claims to believe, yet
does not keep his word, does not truly believe.
Gospel: Luke 24:35-48
Jesus appeared to two disciples, though at first they
feared he was a ghost. Jesus ate with them to prove
he was not a ghost. He explained that he had fulfilled the prophets words about him. He also explained that in his name they must preach doing
penance for the forgiveness of sins.
