YOU MUST BE BAPTISED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST

EASTER TUESDAY  Universalis
'I have seen the Lord and he has spoken to me'
Reading Acts 2:36-41 You must repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus

On the day of Pentecost, Peter spoke to the Jews: ‘The whole House of Israel can be certain that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ.’ 

Hearing this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the apostles, ‘What must we do, brothers?’ ‘You must repent,’ Peter answered ‘and every one of you must be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise that was made is for you and your children, and for all those who are far away, for all those whom the Lord our God will call to himself.’ He spoke to them for a long time using many arguments, and he urged them, ‘Save yourselves from this perverse generation.’ They were convinced by his arguments, and they accepted what he said and were baptised. That very day about three thousand were added to their number.

Gospel John 20:11-18 'I have seen the Lord and he has spoken to me'

Mary stayed outside near the tomb, weeping. Then, still weeping, she stooped to look inside, and saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head, the other at the feet. They said, ‘Woman, why are you weeping?’ ‘They have taken my Lord away’ she replied ‘and I don’t know where they have put him.’ As she said this she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not recognise him. Jesus said, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?’ Supposing him to be the gardener, she said, ‘Sir, if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and remove him.’ Jesus said, ‘Mary!’ She knew him then and said to him in Hebrew, ‘Rabbuni!’ – which means Master. Jesus said to her, ‘Do not cling to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and find the brothers, and tell them: I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ So Mary of Magdala went and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that he had said these things to her.

Loving Father my God, you word is faithful, you are full of mercy. Father you love justice and right, and you fill the earth and all your creatures with your love. My soul is longing for your peace.

I have been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Father come fill me with the Holy Spirit, the promise made to us your children for each moment you call us to yourself.  Lord Jesus Christ my Savior and Redeemer my soul clings to you, I long for you come dwell in me. Give me your Holy Spirit, transform me. Make my heart long for you all the days of my life. May your love dwell in me. I love you Lord my strength.

Thank you Lord Jesus for you are full of love and compassion, you gave us the Holy Eucharist. May my reception of you in the Eucharist bring me closer to you. Make me one with you. Be my strength and my comfort.   I cling to you Lord for you are my light, you are my life.

Blessed be God for ever and ever. Blessed be Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Eucharist. Lord Jesus I trust in you. Virgin Mary pray for me. Saint Joseph pray for me. God’s Holy Angels and Saints pray for me. My Guardian Angel pray for me protect me.

Pray the Holy Rosary: Hail Mary full of grace. Hail Holy Queen.
