Isaiah

52:7-10

How beautiful upon the mountains

are the feet of him who brings glad tidings,
announcing peace, bearing good news,
announcing salvation, and saying to Zion,
Your God is King!
Hark! Your sentinels raise a cry,
together they shout for joy,
for they see directly, before their eyes,
the Lord restoring Zion.
Break out together in song,
O ruins of Jerusalem!
For the Lord comforts his people,
he redeems Jerusalem.

II Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18

Beloved:
I am already being poured out like a libation,
and the time of my departure is at hand.
I have competed well; I have finished the race;
I have kept the faith.
From now on the crown of righteousness awaits me,
which the Lord, the just judge,
will award to me on that day, and not only to me,
but to all who have longed for his appearance.
At my first defense no one appeared on my behalf,
but everyone deserted me.
May it not be held against them!
But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength,
so that through me the proclamation might be completed
and all the Gentiles might hear it.
And I was rescued from the lions mouth.
The Lord will rescue me from every evil threat
and will bring me safe to his heavenly kingdom.
To him be glory forever and ever. Amen.
The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation:

Gospel
That very day, the first day of the week,
two of Jesus disciples were going
to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus,
and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred.
And it happened that while they were conversing and debating,
Jesus himself drew near and walked with them,
but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.
He asked them,
What are you discussing as you walk along?
They stopped, looking downcast.
One of them, named Cleopas, said to him in reply,
Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem
who does not know of the things
that have taken place there in these days?
And he replied to them, What sort of things?
They said to him,
The things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene,
who was a prophet mighty in deed and word
before God and all the people,
how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over
to a sentence of death and crucified him.
But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel;
and besides all this,
it is now the third day since this took place.
Some women from our group, however, have astounded us:
they were at the tomb early in the morning
and did not find his body;
they came back and reported
that they had indeed seen a vision of angels
who announced that he was alive.
Then some of those with us went to the tomb
and found things just as the women had described,
but him they did not see:
And he said to them, Oh, how foolish you are!
How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke!

Luke

24:13-25

Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things
and enter into his glory?
Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets,
he interpreted to them what referred to him
in all the Scriptures.
As they approached the village to which they were going,
he gave the impression that he was going on farther.
But they urged him, Stay with us,
for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over:
So he went in to stay with them.
And it happened that, while he was with them at table,
he took bread, said the blessing,
broke it, and gave it to them.
With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him,
but he vanished from their sight.
Then they said to each other,
Were not our hearts burning within us
while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?
So they set out at once and returned to Jerusalem
where they found gathered together
the eleven and those with them who were saying,
The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!
Then the two recounted
what had taken place on the way
and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.
The Gospel of the Lord
All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Guidelines for the Reception of Communion

For Catholics

As Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy
Communion. We are encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. In order to
be properly disposed to receive Communion, participants should not be conscious of grave sin
and normally should have fasted for one hour. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to
receive the Body and Blood of the Lord without prior sacramental confession except for a grave
reason where there is no opportunity for confession. In this case, the person is to be mindful of the
obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, including the intention of confessing as soon as
possible (canon 916). A frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance is encouraged for all.

For Our Fellow Christians

We welcome our fellow Christians to this celebration of the Eucharist as our brothers and sisters.
We pray that our common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit in this Eucharist will draw us
closer to one another and begin to dispel the sad divisions which separate us. We pray that these
will lessen and finally disappear, in keeping with Christs prayer for us that they may all be one
( John 17:21).
Because Catholics believe that the celebration of the Eucharist is a sign of the reality of the oneness
of faith, life, and worship, members of those churches with whom we are not yet fully united are
ordinarily not admitted to Holy Communion. Eucharistic sharing in exceptional circumstances
by other Christians requires permission according to the directives of the diocesan bishop and the
provisions of canon law (canon 844 4). Members of the Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church
of the East, and the Polish National Catholic Church are urged to respect the discipline of their
own Churches. According to Roman Catholic discipline, the Code of Canon Law does not object
to the reception of Communion by Christians of these Churches (canon 844 3).

For Those Not Receiving Holy Communion

All who are not receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to express in their hearts a prayerful
desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one another.

For Non-Christians

We also welcome to this celebration those who do not share our faith in Jesus Christ. While we
cannot admit them to Holy Communion, we ask them to offer their prayers for the peace and the
unity of the human family.
