First Reading
Acts 2:14a, 36-41
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.
36Therefore let all the people of Israel know most certainly, that God has made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified.
37Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brothers and sisters?
38But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomever the Lord our God shall call.
40And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.
41They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
