Suggested Mass Line-up for May 1, 2011

May 1, 2011 
2nd Sunday of Easter & Divine Mercy Sunday

Liturgical color: White 

Readings: 

1R: The First Reading for this Mass would not come from the Old Testament, but from the Book of Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament—specifically Acts 2:42-47. The community who made up the believers in Jesus Christ shared material necessities amongst themselves, and praised God together.

RP: 118 Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His love is everlasting.

2R: 1 P 1:3-9 is about praising God the Father for His Son Jesus Christ Who saved our souls.

G: John 20:19-31. This is about Jesus and Doubting Thomas. In this Gospel reading, Jesus also gives the apostles the power to forgive, and in so doing, institutes the Sacrament of Confession. “Receive the Holy Spirit; whose sins you forgive are forgiven...”

If you serve in a Mass na umuuntog sa Angelus/Regina Coeli (either before or after the Mass) examples: 5, 6 AM, 11 AM, 12 NN, 5 PM, 6 PM, try to work out an arrangement with the commentators and/or lectors and the choirs: Will the Regina Coeli be said or sung? If it will be sung, then sing for
