First Reading
Acts 3:1-10
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
1Now Peter and John went up into the temple at the ninth hour of prayer.
2And a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb, was carried: whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, that he might ask charity of them that went into the temple.
3He, when he had seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an charity.
4But Peter with John fastening his eyes upon him, said: Look upon us.
5But he looked earnestly upon them, hoping that he should receive something of them.
6But Peter said: Silver and gold I have none; but what I have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise, and walk.
7And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up, and forthwith his feet and soles received strength.
8And he leaping up, stood, and walked, and went in with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9And all the people saw him walking and praising God.
10And they knew him, that it was he who sat begging charity at the Beartiful gate of the temple: and they were satisfied with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.
