Let’s examine some of the themes that we discover in the Mass readings for the 3rd Sunday of Easter.

1st Reading – Acts of the Apostles 5:27-32,40b-41

  • The Apostles are brought before the Sanhedrin and ordered to stop speaking about Jesus.
  • Peter replies, “We must obey God rather than men,” and the Apostles rejoice that they have been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name of Jesus.

    • Psalm – 30:4-6,11-13

    • “I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.”
    • We give thanks to God who has pity on us and changes our mourning into dancing.

      • 2nd Reading – Revelation 5:11-14

      • John has a vision of countless angelic and human creatures giving praise to the “Lamb that was slain.”
      • All of creation echoes the words of blessing and honor as they worship the Lamb.

        • Gospel – John 21:1-19

        • After the resurrection, Jesus is revealed to some of the disciples on the Sea of Tiberias.
        • Jesus asks Peter three times, “Peter, do you love me?”
