WORDS AND WORSHIP

April 18, 2010 Third Sunday of Easter (Year C)

First Reading...
A reading from the Book of the Acts of Apostles 5:27-32, 40-41

When the captain and the court officers had brought the apostles in and made them stand before
the Sanhedrin, the high priest questioned them, “We gave you strict orders, did we not, to stop
teaching in that name? Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and want to bring this
man’s blood upon us.” But Peter and the apostles said in reply, “We must obey God rather than
men. The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, though you had him killed by hanging him on a tree.
God exalted him at his right hand as leader and savior to grant Israel repentance and forgiveness
of sins. We are witnesses of these things, as is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who
obey him.” The Sanhedrin ordered the apostles to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, and
dismissed them. So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been found
worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.

The word of the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm: 30:2, 4, 5-6, 11-12, 13


Let our response be: I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.

I will extol you, O LORD, for you drew me clear and did not let my enemies rejoice over
me. O LORD, you brought me up from the netherworld; you preserved me from among
those going down into the pit. (Response)

Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones, and give thanks to his holy name. For
his anger lasts but a moment; a lifetime, his good will. At nightfall, weeping enters in,
but with the dawn, rejoicing. (Response)

Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me; O LORD, be my helper. You changed my
mourning into dancing; O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks. (Response)

Second Reading...
A reading from the Book of Revelation 5:11-14

I, John, looked and heard the voices of many angels who surrounded the throne and the living
creatures and the elders. They were countless in number, and they cried out in a loud voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor and
glory and blessing.” Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in
the sea, everything in the universe, cry out: “To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor, glory and might, forever and ever.” The four living creatures answered,
“Amen, “ and the elders fell down and worshiped.

The word of the Lord.


Gospel

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Saint John 21:1-19

At that time, Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed
himself in this way. Together were Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in
Galilee, Zebedee’s sons, and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going
fishing.” They said to him, “We also will come with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but
that night they caught nothing. When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore; but
the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, “Children, have you caught
anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.” So he said to them, “Cast the net over the right side of
the boat and you will find something.” So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the
number of fish. So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” When Simon Peter
heard that it was the Lord,he tucked in his garment, for he was lightly clad, and jumped into the
sea. The other disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred
yards, dragging the net with the fish. When they climbed out on shore, they saw a charcoal fire with
fish on it and bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you just caught.” So Simon Peter
went over and dragged the net ashore full of one hundred fifty-three large fish. Even though there
were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, “Come, have breakfast.” And none of the
disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they realized it was the Lord. Jesus came
over and took the bread and gave it to them, and in like manner the fish. This was now the third
time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead.

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me
more than these?” Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said to
him, “Feed my lambs.” He then said to Simon Peter a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you
love me?” Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him,
“Tend my sheep.” Jesus said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter
was distressed that Jesus had said to him a third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him,
“Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. Amen,
amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted;
but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead
you where you do not want to go.” He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify
God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

The Gospel of the Lord.
