Collect of the Day

O God, who for our redemption gave your only begotten Son to die upon
the Cross, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the devil and
the power of death: Grant us grace to die daily to sin, that we may live
with him in the joy of his resurrection; who lives and reigns with you and
the Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.

Acts 10:34-43

​So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, 35 but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. 36 As for the word that he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all), 37 you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. 39 And 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, 40 but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear, ​41 not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead. 43 To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

Reader: The word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

Psalm 118:14-17,22-24

14 The LORD is my strength and my song, *
and has become my salvation.
15 The voice of joy and deliverance is in the dwellings of the righteous; *
the right hand of the LORD brings mighty things to pass.
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted; *
the right hand of the LORD brings mighty things to pass.
17 I shall not die, but live, *
and declare the works of the LORD.
​22 The same stone which the builders refused *
has become the chief cornerstone.
23 This is the LORD’S doing, *
and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day that the LORD has made; *
we will rejoice and be glad in it.

All: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.  Amen

Colossians 3:1-4

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Reader: The word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

Celebrant: The Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ, according to St. Mark.
People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Mark 16:1-8

When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2 And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they  went to the tomb. 3 And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4 And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large. 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. 6 And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” 8 And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. 

Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise to you, Lord Christ.
