First Reading

A reading from the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death
came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead came also through a human being. For just as in
Adam all die, so too in Christ shall all be brought to life, but each one in proper order. Christ the firstfruits;
then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ; then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his
God and Father. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be
destroyed is death, for “he subjected everything under his feet.” But when it says that everything has been
subjected, it is clear that it excludes the one who subjected everything to him. When everything is subjected to
him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to the one who subjected everything to him, so that God may
be all in all.

The Word of the Lord

Commentator: Thanks be to God

Responsorial Psalm

The Lord is kind and merciful

Merciful and gracious is the LORD,

slow to anger, abounding in kindness.

God does not always rebuke, nurses no lasting anger,

Has not dealt with us as our sins merit,

nor requited us as our deeds deserve.

Commentator: The Lord is kind and merciful.

As the heavens tower the earth,

so God’s love towers over the faithful.

As far as the cast is from the west,

so far have our sins been removed from us.

Commentator: The Lord is kind and merciful.

As a father has compassion on his children,

so the Lord has compassion on the faithful.

For he knows we are formed,

remembers that we are dust.

Commentator: The Lord is kind and merciful.

Our days are like the grass;

like flowers of the field we blossom.

The wind sweeps over us and we are gone;

our place knows us no more.

Commentator: The Lord is kind and merciful.

But the Lord’s kindness if forever,

toward the faithful from age to age.

He favors the children’s children

of those who keep his covenant,

who take care to fulfill its precepts.

Commentator: The Lord is kind and merciful.

The Lord’s Prayer

At the Saviour’s command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil,

graciously grant peace in our days,

that, by the help of your mercy,

we may be always free from sin

and safe from all distress,

as we await the blessed hope

and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

For the Kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever.

Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your Apostles:

Peace I leave you, my peace I give you;

look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church,

and graciously grant her peace and unity

in accordance with your will.

Who live and reign forever and ever.
