April 14th, 2006, Tuesday of the second week of Easter.

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.

The community of believers was of one heart and mind,

and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own,

but they had everything in common.

With great power, the Apost apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus,

and great favor was accorded them all.

There was no needy person among them,

for those who owned property or houses would sell them,

bring the proceeds of the sale, and put them at the feet of the apostles, and they were distributed to each according to need.

Thus Joseph, also named by the Apostles Barnabas, which is translated son of encouragement,

a Levite, a Cypriot by birth, sold a piece of property that he owned, then brought the money and put it at the feet of the Apostles.

The Word of the Lord

The Responsorial Psalm.

The response is, the Lord is king.

He is robed in majesty.

The Lord is king in splendor robed.

Robed is the Lord and gird about with strength.

The Lord is king, he is robed in majesty.

And he has made the world firm, not to be moved.

Your throne stands firm from of old, from everlasting you are, O Lord.

The Lord is king, he is robed in majesty.
