Acts 6:1-7, James 3:1-12, John 1:1-17
The Gospel
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.
John testified to him and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks ahead of me because he was before me.’”) From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

“THE PROMISE” PREMIERES TODAY
|
***See below on theatre showings***
The film “The Promise,” produced by Survival Pictures and financed by the late Kirk Kerkorian, will be premiering in theater locations across North America on Friday, April 21. Check your local schedules to see if it will be shown at a theatre near you. The film is set with the backdrop of the Armenian Genocide. It is the first time a wide release film will feature the story of the Armenian genocide in nearly 1,500 theaters in the United States and Canada. The opening weekend’s box office sales are critical in securing a long theatrical run for the film. We encourage everyone to mobilize their friends, family and community members to see the film in theaters on April 21, 22 and 23, because the distributors will decide on the scope of further investments, publicity, advertising, etc., based on the actual turnout of these first three days. “The Promise,” is directed by Academy Award winner Terry George (Hotel Rwanda), and features Oscar Isaac, Charlotte Le Bon, and Christian Bale.
