First Reading Gen 12:1-4
A reading from the book of Genesis
The Lord said to Abram, ‘Leave your country, your family
and your father's house, for the land I will show you. I will
make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your
name so famous that it will be used as a blessing.
‘I will bless those who bless you:
I will curse those who slight you.
All the tribes of the earth
shall bless themselves by you.’
So Abram went as the Lord told him.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 32:4-5. 18-20. 22.
(R.) Lord, let your mercy be on us,
as we place our trust in you.
The word of the Lord is faithful
and all his works to be trusted.
The Lord loves justice and right
and fills the earth with his love. (R.)
The Lord looks on those who revere him,
on those who hope in his love,
to rescue their souls from death,
to keep them alive in famine. (R.)
Our soul is waiting for the Lord.
The Lord is our help and our shield.
May your love be upon us, O Lord,
as we place all our hope in you. (R.)
Second Reading
2 Tm 1:8-10
A reading from the second letter of St Paul to Timothy
With me, bear the hardships for the sake of the Good
News, relying on the power of God who has saved us and
called us to be holy – not because of anything we ourselves
have done but for his own purpose and by his own grace.
This grace had already been granted to us, in Christ Jesus,
before the beginning of time, but it has only been revealed
by the Appearing of our saviour Christ Jesus. He abolished
death, and he has proclaimed life and immortality through
the Good News.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation
Glory and praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
From the shining cloud the Father’s voice is heard:
this is my beloved Son, hear him.
Glory and praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
Gospel
Mt 17:1-9
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew
Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother
John and led them up a high mountain where they could
be alone. There in their presence he was transfigured; his
face shone like the sun and his clothes became as white
as the light. Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to
them; they were talking with him. Then Peter spoke to
Jesus. ‘Lord,’ he said ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; if
you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one
for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He was still speaking when
suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and
from the cloud there came a voice which said, ‘This is my
Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’
When they heard this, the disciples fell on their faces,
overcome with fear. But Jesus came up and touched
them. ‘Stand up,’ he said ‘do not be afraid.’ And when
they raised their eyes they saw no one but only Jesus.
As they came down from the mountain Jesus gave them
this order. ‘Tell no one about the vision until the Son of
Man has risen from the dead.’
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ

In 2015, Pope Francis
said that “every person
ought to have the
awareness that
purchasing is always a
moral – and not simply
an economic – act.” Are you buying Slavery-free
Easter Chocolate? The
International Labor Rights
Forum (ILRF) estimates that
there are 1.5 million children
working in the cocoa sector in
West Africa. Many of these children have been enslaved,
or forced to work in exploitative conditions?
If you buy chocolate featuring one of these three certifi-
cation symbols you will know that production of the
chocolate is okay.
