PSALM 118:17
I shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord
GOSPEL LESSON: Mark 16:1-8
HE IS RISEN! HE LIVES!!!
16 The Sabbath day ended. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices. They were going to use them for Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, they were on their way to the tomb. It was just after sunrise. 3 They asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance to the tomb?”
4 Then they looked up and saw that the stone had been rolled away. The stone was very large. 5 They entered the tomb. As they did, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe. He was sitting on the right side. They were alarmed.
6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. But he has risen! He is not here! See the place where they had put him. 7 Go! Tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him. It will be just as he told you.’ ”
TEACHING: Choose HOPE and NEW LIFE with the RISEN JESUS Our Lord
Reflect the LIGHT of CHRIST in OUR Lives.

PRAYERS FOR OTHERS: Pray for God to guide and care for those you love.

O GOD, We are VERY SORRY that we have sinned against you and for all the wrongs we have done and the good we have not done.
