SECOND READING
Jessica Scandizzo A reading from St Paul to the Romans ( 6 : 3-4 , 8-9 )
When we were Baptised in Jesus Christ , we were Baptised in His death ; in other words when we were Baptised we went to the tomb with Him and joined Him in death , so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father ’ s glory , we too might live a new life . But we believe that having died with Christ we shall return to life with Him : Christ , as we know , having been raised from the dead will never die again . Death has no power over him anymore .
The word of the Lord . All : Thanks be to God .
