Gospel Acclamation: Third Sunday of Easter

Christ is risen, creator of all; He has shown pity on all people.

Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. He is our God, the Creator of all. Yet He does not stand apart from us. He loves us more than we can ever imagine, and He has shown great pity on all of us by saving us from our sins and opening the gates of Heaven.

We didn't and don't deserve it. We have sinned, and we continue to sin. Yet Jesus continues to hold out His mercy to us. He wants to forgive us and draw us back to Him, again and again and again. He knows how weak and frail we are.

Now that's pity. And even more, that's love.
