Study, Pray, Serve: 3rd Sunday of Easter
Here are some of the main themes in the Mass readings for the 3rd Sunday of Easter.
1st Reading – Acts: 2:14,22-33
- Peter preaches to the people about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
- Peter cites Psalm 16, revealing how this passage is fulfilled in Christ.
Psalm – 16:1-2,4,7-11
- “Lord, you will show us the path of life.”
- The passage recaps a substantial amount of what Peter quoted to the people in the first reading.
2nd Reading – 1st Peter 1:17-21
- This exhortation to conduct ourselves with reverence finds its strength in Christ, the spotless unblemished blood of the lamb of God.
- Christ is revealed to us through our faith, hope, and belief in God.
Gospel – Luke 24:13-35
- On the road to Emmaus, two disciples encounter Jesus along the way as he interprets the scripture passages that refer to Christ.
- During the breaking of the bread, they recognize Jesus – who disappears from their sight – and return to Jerusalem to announce to the disciples what they experienced.
- This basic structure – Scripture and the breaking of the bread – is the basic outline for the Mass we celebrate!
