Easter Weekday
First Reading
Acts 4:32-37
32Now the company of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had everything in common.
33And with great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
34There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of what was sold
35and laid it at the apostles' feet; and distribution was made to each as any had need.
36Thus Joseph who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas (which means, Son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus,
37sold a field which belonged to him, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 93:1-2, 5
1The LORD reigns; he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed, he is girded with strength. Yea, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
2thy throne is established from of old; thou art from everlasting.
5Thy decrees are very sure; holiness befits thy house, O LORD, for evermore.
Gospel
John 3:7-15
7Do not marvel that I said to you, `You must be born anew.'
8The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit."
9Nicode'mus said to him, "How can this be?"
10Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand this?
11Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony.
12If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
13No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man.
14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,
15that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."
