1Psalm 97 The Divine Ruler of All I - The LORD is king; let the earth rejoice; let the many islands be glad.
2Cloud and darkness surround him; justice and right are the foundation of his throne.
5The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6The heavens proclaim his justice; all peoples see his glory.

12Rejoice in the LORD, you just, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
Gospel
John 20: 1a and 2-8
1On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
2So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him.”
3So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.
4They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first;
5he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.
6When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there,
7and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
8Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed.
