TUESDAY OF THE SECOND WEEK OF EASTER

Easter Time Week II White

First Reading : Acts 4, 32-37

The early Christian community

4:32 The whole group of believers was united, heart and soul; no one claimed for his own use anything that he had, as everything they owned was held in common.

4:33 The apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with great power, and they were all given great respect.

4:34 None of their members was ever in want, as all those who owned land or houses would sell them, and bring the money from them,

4:35 to present it to the apostles; it was then distributed to any members who might be in need.

The generosity of Barnabas

4:36 There was a Levite of Cypriot origin called Joseph whom the apostles surnamed Barnabas (which means ‘son of encouragement’).

4:37 He owned a piece of land and he sold it and brought the money, and presented it to the apostles.

Psalm : Ps 92, 1ab. 1c-2. 5

R. The Lord is king, robed in majesty.

For the sabbath

92:1 It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, to play in honour of your name, Most High,

92:2 to proclaim your love at daybreak and your faithfulness all through the night

92:5 ‘Great are your achievements, Yahweh, immensely deep your thoughts!’

Gospel : Jn 3, 7b-15

3:7 Do not be surprised when I say: You must be born from above.

3:8 The wind blows wherever it pleases; you hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. That is how it is with all who are born of the Spirit.’

3:9 ‘How can that be possible?’ asked Nicodemus.

3:10 ‘You, a teacher in Israel, and you do not know these things!’ replied Jesus.

3:11 ‘I tell you most solemnly, we speak only about what we know and witness only to what we have seen and yet you people reject our evidence.

3:12 If you do not believe me when I speak about things in this world, how are you going to believe me when I speak to you about heavenly things?

3:13 No one has gone up to heaven except the one who came down from heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven; and the Son of Man must be lifted up

3:14 as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert,

3:15 so that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.
