Reading 1, First Corinthians 15:1-8

¹ I want to make quite clear to you, brothers, what the message of the gospel that I preached to you is; you accepted it and took your stand on it,

² and you are saved by it, if you keep to the message I preached to you; otherwise your coming to believe was in vain.

³ The tradition I handed on to you in the first place, a tradition which I had myself received, was that Christ died for our sins, in accordance with the scriptures,

⁴ and that he was buried; and that on the third day, he was raised to life, in accordance with the scriptures;

⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas; and later to the Twelve;

⁶ and next he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still with us, though some have fallen asleep;

⁷ then he appeared to James, and then to all the apostles.

⁸ Last of all he appeared to me too, as though I was a child born abnormally.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 19:2-3, 4-5

² day discourses of it to day, night to night hands on the knowledge.

³ No utterance at all, no speech, not a sound to be heard,

⁴ but from the entire earth the design stands out, this message reaches the whole world. High above, he pitched a tent for the sun,

⁵ who comes forth from his pavilion like a bridegroom, delights like a champion in the course to be run.
