Bulletin Shorts for Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord

Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord – Sunday, 12 April 2020  

At the Mass during the Day

Acts 10:34a, 37-43.  Psalm 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23.  Colossians 3:1-4. OR 1 Corinthians 5:6b-8.  Sequence – Christians, to the Paschal Victim.  John 20:1-9.  OR Luke 24:13-35.  

Acts of the Apostles.  All during Easter Time, we read and hear the Acts of the Apostles.  Those many acts are not mere history. They launch us into Church life today.  This Risen Lord, present among us, is so astounding, we cannot remain our old selves.  We, too, are new – because of Baptism, because of this new Easter Day, because Christ is within and around us.  We, too, act in new ways.  

• How will I shine new life into another’s life today?  
• How will I bear witness to Christ among us by some word or deed?  
• How will I rejoice?
