Second Reading 1 John 2:1-5a
1My little sons, this I write to you, so that you may not sin. But if anyone has sinned, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Just One.
2And he is the propitiation for our sins. And not only for our sins, but also for those of the whole world.
3And we can be sure that we have known him by this: if we observe his commandments.
4Whoever claims that he knows him, and yet does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the charity of God is perfected. And by this we know that we are in him.

Gospel Luke 24:35-48
35And they explained the things that were done on the way, and how they had recognized him at the breaking of the bread.
36Then, while they were talking about these things, Jesus stood in their midst, And he said to them: “Peace be with you. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
37Yet truly, they were very disturbed and terrified, supposing that they saw a spirit.
38And he said to them: “Why are you disturbed, and why do these thoughts rise up in your hearts?
39See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Look and touch. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
40And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
41Then, while they were still in disbelief and in wonder out of joy, he said, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42And they offered him a piece of roasted fish and a honeycomb.
43And when he had eaten these in their sight, taking up what was left, he gave it to them.
44And he said to them: “These are the words that I spoke to you when I was still with you, because all things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms about me.”
45Then he opened their mind, so that they might understand the Scriptures.
46And he said to them: “For so it is written, and so it was necessary, for the Christ to suffer and to rise up from the dead on the third day,
47and, in his name, for repentance and the remission of sins to be preached, among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48And you are witnesses of these things.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
