Epistle: 1 Peter iii. 18-22

    Lesson from the Epistle of blessed Peter the Apostle. Dearly beloved, Christ died once for our sins, the just for the unjust, that He might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit. In which also coming, He preached to those spirits that were in prison, which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was building; wherein a few, that is eight souls, were saved by water. Whereunto baptism being of the like form, now saveth you also, not in putting away the filth of the flesh, but by the pledge of a good conscience towards God, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord, who is on the right hand of God.

Gradual: Psalms cxvii. 24, 26-27

Alleluia: Psalms xcv. 10

    Alleluia, alleluia. ℣. Say ye among the nations that the Lord hath reigned from a tree.

Sequence: Victimae Paschali Laudes

    Forth to the paschal Victim, Christians, bring / Your sacrifice of praise: The Lamb redeems the sheep; / And Christ the sinless One, / Hath to the Father sinners reconciled. Together, death and life / In a strange conflict strove. / The Prince of life, who died, / Now lives and reigns. What thou sawest, Mary, say, / As thou wentest on the way. I saw the tomb wherein the living one had lain; / I saw His glory as He rose again; Napkin and linen clothes, and angels twain: Yea, Christ is risen, my hope, and He / Will go before you into Galilee. We know that Christ indeed has risen from the grave: / Hail, Thou King of Victory, / Have mercy, Lord, and save. / Amen. Alleluia.

Gospel: Matthew xxviii. 16-20

    + The continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Matthew. At that time the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And seeing Him they adored Him; but some doubted. And Jesus coming spoke to them, saying: All power is given to Me in heaven and on earth. Going, therefore, teach ye all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe ali things whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

Offertory: Exodus xii. 14
