THE LESSON A Reading from the Word of God written in the Acts of the Apostles Chapter 10 beginning at the 34th verse Peter opened his mouth and said: "Truly I perceive that God shows no partiality, but in every nation any one who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. You know the word which he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all), the word which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. And we are witnesses to 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; but God raised him on the third day and made him manifest; not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that he is the one ordained by God to be judge of the living and the dead. To him all the prophets bear witness that every one who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name." Reader: ALL:
Here ends the Reading. Thanks be to God.
Remember: Easter is not just a day it is a fifty day season. Make the effort to attend Mass during this Easter Season.

PSALM 118: 14-29 14.The Lord is my strength and my song, * and he has become my salvation. 15.There is a sound of exultation and victory* in the tents of the righteous. 16."The right hand of the Lord has triumphed! * the right hand of the Lord is exalted! the right hand of the Lord has triumphed!" 17.I shall not die, but live, * and declare the works of the Lord. 18.The Lord has punished me sorely, * but he did not hand me over to death. 19.Open for me the gates of righteousness; * I will enter them; I will offer thanks to the Lord. 20."This is the gate of the Lord; * he who is righteous may enter." 21.I will give thanks to you, for you answered me* and have become my salvation. 22.The same stone which the builders rejected * has become the chief cornerstone. 23.This is the Lord's doing, * and it is marvellous in our eyes. 24.On this day the Lord has acted; * we will rejoice and be glad in it.

25.Hosannah, Lord, Hosannah!* Lord, send us now success. 26.Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; * we bless you from the house of the Lord. 27.God is the Lord; he has shined upon us; * form a procession with branches up to the horns of the altar. 28."You are my God, and I will thank you;* you are my God, and I will exalt you." 29.Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;* his mercy endures for ever. Glory to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Spirit; As it was in the beginning is now: and shall be forever. Amen. THE EPISTLE A Reading from the Word of God written in the Letter to the Colossians Chapter 3 beginning at the 1st verse. Since you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Reader: All:

HOLY GOSPEL Gospeller: The Lord be with you ALL: And also with you Gospeller: A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke ALL: Glory to Christ our Saviour. On the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel; and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise." And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Mag'dalene and Joan'na and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told this to the apostles; Gospeller: The Gospel of Christ. ALL: Praise to Christ our Lord. !

The Archbishop of the West Indies, Primate and Metropolitan, and The Bishop of Barbados The Most Reverend Dr The Honourable John W.D. Holder, CBE, LLD Easter Message – 2013 To be read in Churches on Easter Day In each festival of the Church, is a great message that can teach us something about our relationship with God and our responsibility for the world. The festival of Easter contains one of the most powerful of these messages. It is a message about life. It tells of the power of God to renew and transform lives. It teaches us that this power transformed the death of Jesus into resurrection and life. The power of God, changed the pessimism and fear of Good Friday, which had gripped the lives of the friends of Jesus, into the hope of Easter. Today, on Easter day the Church, joins with those friends of Jesus and celebrates life and proclaims hope .The church proclaims that the conditions of pain and death, which can overwhelm us in this world, have been conquered by God, through the resurrection of !

Jesus Our Lord. This is the Easter hope with which we live as Christians. It helps us to respond to the conditions of life that can make us pessimistic and depressed. At this time when there is a lot of pessimism about the future, the Christian, standing firmly on the message of Easter does not give up hope. We proclaim that there can be, and will be better times, and with God’s grace, we work towards making this a reality. When we encounter persons who are being battered by the forces of life and are down and out, we should share our Easter faith and tell of God’s presence and power to conquer the things that can destroy hope. On this Easter day let us recommit ourselves to be persons who live and share the hope that we celebrate today. This is not simply a wish for better days, but a conviction that with God’s power and guidance we can help someone to see a better tomorrow. Do you know someone who needs this help right now? Be for them a beacon of Easter hope. Help them to see that God is still at work for them. Share with them the central Christian conviction that no matter how awful may be our Good Friday experiences, there will be Easter and there is hope. May God grant you a blessed Easter day. Your friend and Bishop
