MOMENT 1 · The empty tomb
The stone is rolled away.
After the Sabbath, Mary Magdalene, Mary, the mother of James, and Salome go to the tomb very early. They wonder who will remove the stone, but when they arrive they see that it has already been removed. Inside they find a young man dressed in white who announces to them that Jesus has risen. They receive the news with amazement and fear.
The news of the resurrection opens a path of hope.
MOMENT 2 · Called by name
Mary recognizes Jesus.
John tells that Mary Magdalene is crying next to the tomb. She sees Jesus, but at first she does not recognize him and thinks he is the gardener. Everything changes when he calls her by her name. Mary recognizes him and then goes to announce to the disciples that she has seen the Lord.
Mary goes from tears to sharing news full of hope.
MOMENT 3 · Peace and a mission
The story continues with them.
At the twilight of that day, the disciples are gathered with the doors closed out of fear. Jesus appears among them and offers them peace. When they recognize him, they are filled with joy. Jesus sends them, blows on them and tells them to receive the Holy Spirit. The good news continues with a community called to share it.
We can bring a gesture of peace and hope to our daily life.
