제 1독서  First Reading
< After Jesus rose from the dead, we ate and drank with him. > 

▥ This is from the book of Acts.   Acts 10:34a, 37-43
Peter proceeded to speak and said:
“You know what has happened all over Judea,
beginning in Galilee after the baptism
that John preached,
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Spirit and power.
He went about doing good
and healing all those oppressed by the devil,
for God was with him.
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.
This man God raised on the third day and granted that he be visible,
not to all the people, but to us,
the witnesses chosen by God in advance,
who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
He commissioned us to preach to the people
and testify that he is the one appointed by God
as judge of the living and the dead.
To him all the prophets bear witness,
that everyone who believes in him
will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.”

The Word of the Lord.
◎ Thanks be to God.

 

 

화답송  Responsorial Psalm Ps 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23.(◎ 24)

◎ This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.
or :

◎ Alleluia.
○ Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his mercy endures forever.
      Let the house of Israel say,  “His mercy endures forever.” ◎
○ “The right hand of the LORD has struck with power;
      the right hand of the LORD is exalted.
      I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.” ◎
○ The stone which the builders rejected
     has become the cornerstone.
     By the LORD has this been done;
     it is wonderful in our eyes. ◎

 

 

제 2독서  Second Reading
< Set your minds on things above,
where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. > 
or < Get rid of the old yeast so that
you may be a new batch of dough. >

▥ This is the word of the Lord from the book of Colossians. Col 3:1-4
Brothers and sisters:
If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above,
where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Think of what is above, not of what is on earth.
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
When Christ your life appears,
then you too will appear with him in glory.


The Word of the Lord.
◎ Thanks be to God.
< or >

▥ This is the word of the Lord from the first book of Corinthians. I Cor 5:6b-8
Brothers and sisters:
Do you not know that a little yeast leavens all the dough?
Clear out the old yeast,
so that you may become a fresh batch of dough,
inasmuch as you are unleavened.
For our paschal lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed.
Therefore, let us celebrate the feast,
not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness,
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

The Word of the Lord.
◎ Thanks be to God.

Victimae paschali laudes
Christians, to the Paschal Victim
Offer your thankful praises!
A Lamb the sheep redeems;

Speak, Mary, declaring
What you saw, wayfaring.

복음 Gospel
< Jesus must rise from the dead. >
or < Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified, has risen from the dead. >

✠ The Holy Gospel according to John. Jn 20:1-9
On the first day of the week,
Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning,
while it was still dark,
and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
So she ran and went to Simon Peter
and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them,
“They have taken the Lord from the tomb,
and we don’t know where they put him.”
So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.
They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter
and arrived at the tomb first;
he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.
When Simon Peter arrived after him,
he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there,
and the cloth that had covered his head,
not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
Then the other disciple also went in,
the one who had arrived at the tomb first,
and he saw and believed.
For they did not yet understand the Scripture
that he had to rise from the dead.

The Gospel of the Lord.
◎ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ

▥ The Holy Gospel according to Mark. Mark 16:1-7
1 When the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene,

and Mary the mother of James,

and Salome, bought spices,

that they might come and anoint him.
2 And very early in the morning on the first day of the week,

they came unto the tomb at the rising of the sun.
3 And they said among themselves,

Who shall roll us away the stone

from the door of the sepulchre?
4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone

was rolled away: for it was very great.
5 And entering into the sepulchre,

they saw a young man sitting on the right side,

clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted:

Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified:

he is risen; he is not here:

behold the place where they laid him.
7 But go your way, tell his disciples

and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee:

there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

The Gospel of the Lord.
◎ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ

감사송  Preface
< Easter Proclamation 1: The Mystery of the Paschal  > 

It is truly right and just,
our duty and our salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks,
O Lord, holy Father, almighty and everlasting God.
But on this night, above all nights,
we are bound to praise you with joy and gladness,
for on this night Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.
He is the true Lamb who has taken away the sins of the world.
By his death he has destroyed our death,
and by his rising to life he has restored us to life.
Therefore, the whole world exults in gladness,
and the choirs of angels sing in heaven.
The redeemed rejoice on earth,
and all creation is radiant
with the splendor of your glory.

Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.
Therefore let us keep the feast,

of sincerity and truth.
Alleluia!

 

 

영성체 후 묵상  Meditation after Communion

“For they did not yet understand

the Scripture that he must rise from the dead.”
If we read the Bible, which records the words and deeds of Jesus,

and still do not believe or understand the resurrection of Jesus,

we will not be able to experience or share the joy of the resurrection.
Let us deeply meditate on the mystery of Pascha,

which is the passage from death to new life in the spring, when all things come to life.

< Let us pray silently for a while in union with Christ. >

 

 

영성체 후 기도  Prayer after Communion

May we be renewed by the Paschal mystery
and attain the glory of the resurrection.
Through our Lord Christ, Amen.

오늘의 묵상  Today's Meditation

The Gospel passage for the Easter Vigil Mass tells us about the journey of faith of three people. This journey is carried out through the verb "to see."
The first verb that appears is "blepo." It simply refers to the act of seeing an object or situation visually. Mary Magdalene "sees" that the stone of the tomb has been rolled away, and John "sees" the linen cloths inside the tomb. They simply saw a scene.
The second verb is "theoreo," which means to "look at" or "examine" something carefully. Peter, who arrived a little late, "examines" the situation inside the tomb, carefully observing the state of the linen cloths and the napkin. He considers the context and tries to understand what this situation means.
The third verb is "horao." Peter and John, who entered the tomb after him, "see" and believe. At this point, "seeing" goes beyond the simple visual function and means the act of recognizing and understanding something that is not visible. Through these three verbs, today's Gospel tells us that the characters progress from simply "seeing" at first, to "examining" the situation carefully, and finally to the grace of believing in what they see, even the invisible.
It is a grace to be able to believe what is shown to us. There are too many cases where we do not believe even when we are shown. The connection between the empty tomb and the resurrection is an event that can only be properly experienced through the "seeing" of love and trust, beyond mere intellectual understanding.
Believing that the "absence" of Jesus in the empty tomb is actually the beginning of his "omnipresence" everywhere, and confessing that the empty tomb is the most clear and evident proof of the resurrection - this is the new "seeing" that we have through the resurrection.
