Gospel Reading

Reader: Lucas Cooper

The Gospel According to Matthew, the 28th chapter.

Glory to you, oh Lord.

But the angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, “He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.” This is my message for you.’ So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

The Gospel of the Lord

Praise to you, oh Christ.
