Daily Reading for Tuesday, April 14th, 2020

Reading 1, Acts 2:36-41

³⁶ 'For this reason the whole House of Israel can be certain that the Lord and Christ whom God has made is this Jesus whom you crucified.'

³⁷ Hearing this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, 'What are we to do, brothers?'

³⁸ '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.

³⁹ 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 is calling to himself.'

⁴⁰ He spoke to them for a long time using many other arguments, and he urged them, 'Save yourselves from this perverse generation.'

⁴¹ They accepted what he said and were baptised. That very day about three thousand were added to their number.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 33:4-5, 18-19, 20, 22

⁴ The word of Yahweh is straightforward, all he does springs from his constancy.

⁵ He loves uprightness and justice; the faithful love of Yahweh fills the earth.

¹⁸ But see how Yahweh watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his faithful love,

¹⁹ to rescue them from death and keep them alive in famine.

²⁰ We are waiting for Yahweh; he is our help and our shield,

²² Yahweh, let your faithful love rest on us, as our hope has rested in you.
