St. Paul Chong Hasang Bulletin

The Mass readings for the 3rd Sunday of Easter Year C emphasize the importance of evangelization, recognizing Jesus, enduring suffering for the gospel, and the universal praise of God by all creation. The apostles courageously proclaim the Good News despite persecution, all creatures unite in declaring Jesus as king, and Peter recognizes Jesus after a miraculous catch of fish.

• First Reading – Acts 5:27-32, 40B-41: The apostles, questioned by the high priest, insisted on obeying God and rejoiced in their suffering for Jesus.
• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 30: The LORD saved me from my enemies and from death. I will thank and praise Him forever, for His mercy and favor bring joy and healing.
• Second Reading – Revelation 5:11-14: I saw countless angels praising the Lamb, and every creature joined in worship, giving honor and glory to God and the Lamb forever.
• Gospel – John 21:1-19: Jesus appeared to his disciples, guiding them to a miraculous catch. He shared breakfast and asked Peter three times if he loved him, instructing him to care for his followers.

Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

(1 Corinthians 3:16)
