And, He is living at our side …
… Giving us the Living Water which heals us, satisfies us and
overflows from within us to renew our broken world …
Reflecting on today’s Gospel passage from John, and
studying the actions of the first witnesses to the Resurrection. gives us insight on how we can choose to live this Easter season.
First, we learn of Mary Magdalene’s response. She “came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark.” Despite the trauma of just having witnessed the crucifixion of the Lord whom she loved so much,
Mary Magdalene remained focused on Him, not on herself and her own sense of loss.
In fact, forgetting herself entirely, she made her way to the tomb in the dark so she could be near to Him. Once she realized that the tomb was empty we read that she “ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple…” to tell them this shocking news.
They ran to see for themselves. These first witnesses of Christ’s mission and message, His death, and now His Resurrection, were passionate. As disciples, we are called to this same devotion to our Lord, this same passion and the
same determination to remain near to Him no matter what
.
Let us feel God’s love …
At the end of the journey, we arise to new life.
REJOICE AND BE GLAD!
