Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sunday
Every Sunday is a little Easter, the Lord’s Day, when the Church gathers for the Eucharist. Ordinary Time (from “ordinal,” counted weeks) follows the public life and teaching of Jesus, week by week.
Readings of the day
Glorious Mysteries
First Mystery: The Resurrection

“He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.”Matthew 28:6
On the third day Jesus rises gloriously from the dead. The angel at the empty tomb tells the holy women not to be afraid, and the risen Lord Himself meets them.
Fruit of the mystery: Faith
The Our Father
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name; your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
