]On the day of Pentecost, Peter said to the Jewish people, "Let the whole house of Israel know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."
]Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles, "What are we to do, my brothers?"
]Peter (said) to them, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit.
]For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call."
]He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."
]Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand persons were added that day.

]Upright is the word of the LORD,
and all his works are trustworthy.

of the kindness of the LORD the earth is full.
]See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him,
upon those who hope for his kindness,
]To deliver them from death
and preserve them in spite of famine.
]Our soul waits for the LORD,
who is our help and our shield,
]May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us
who have put our hope in you.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John

20,11-18.

]Mary Magdalene stayed outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent over into the tomb
]and saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been.
]And they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken my Lord, and I don't know where they laid him."
]When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus.
]Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" She thought it was the gardener and said to him, "Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him."
]Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni," which means Teacher.
]Jesus said to her, "Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
]Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and what he told her.

St. Richard(Bishop (1197-1253))

SAINT RICHARD OF CHICHESTER Bishop (1197-1253) Saint Richard was born in Wyche, eight miles from Worcester, England. When he and his older brother were orphaned, he gave up his studies to farm his brother's impoverished estate. He declined his brother's offer of a grant, declined a brilliant marriage and became a priest in Oxford. In 1235, he was appointed chancellor of Oxford University. He was then appointed chancellor of the diocese of St. Edmund of Canterbury. He stood by St. Edmund during the latter's conflict with the king and accompanied him into exile. When St. Edmund passed away, St. Richard returned and worked as a curate. He was later consecrated bishop of Chichester instead of Henry III's nominee. Henry III rejected the consecration, confiscated the see's revenues and arraigned St. Richard. St. Richard went to Lyons, was consecrated by Pope Innocent IV in 1245 and returned to England to minister as bishop. After two years, the see's revenues were restored. St. Richard once revoked the benefice of a scandalous priest. He also compelled a knight to carry a log around church after the knight chained a priest to a log. He also compelled the burgesses of Lewes to exhume a criminal's remains after the criminal had been arrested in a sanctuary. St. Richard passed away in 1253 while preaching a crusade against the Saracens.
