3rd Sunday of Easter – Cycle C
Antiphons on p. 473 and Readings on p. 478 of the Daily Missal and p. 833 of the Sunday Missal.
First Reading: Acts 5:27b-32.40b-41
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 30:2 & 4.5-6.11-12 & 13b (R. 2a)
R/. I will extol you, Lord, for you have raised me up.
I will extol you, Lord, for you have raised me up,
and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
O Lord, you have lifted up my soul from the grave,
restored me to life from those who sink into the pit.
Sing psalms to the Lord, you faithful ones;
give thanks to his holy name.
His anger lasts a moment; his favour all through life.
At night come tears, but dawn brings joy.
Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me;
be my helper, O Lord.
You have changed my mourning into dancing,
O Lord my God, I will thank you forever.
R/.
Second Reading: Revelation 5:11-14
Gospel: John 21:1-19
At that time:
Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples
by the Sea of Tiberias,
and he revealed himself in this way.
Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin,
Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee,
and two others of his disciples were together.
Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.”
They said to him, “We will go with you.”
They went out and got into the boat,
but that night they caught nothing.
Just as day was breaking,
Jesus stood on the beach;
yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
Jesus said to them,
“Children, have you any fish?”
They answered him, “No.”
He said to them,
“Cast the net on the right side of the boat,
and you will find some.”
So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in,
for the quantity of fish.
That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter,
“It is the Lord!”
When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord,
he put on his clothes, for he was stripped for work,
and sprang into the sea.
But the other disciples came in the boat,
dragging the net full of fish,
for they were not far from the land,
but about a hundred yards off.
When they got out on land,
they saw a charcoal fire there,
with fish lying on it, and bread.
Jesus said to them,
“Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.”
So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore,
full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them;
and although there were so many,
the net was not torn.
Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.”
Now, none of the disciples dared ask him,
“Who are you?”
They knew it was the Lord.
Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them,
and so with the fish.
This was now the third time that
Jesus was revealed to the disciples
after he was raised from the dead.
When they had finished breakfast,
Jesus said to Simon Peter,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”
He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.”
He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
A second time he said to him,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know th
