An Easter Message A blessed Easter to all of you. A truly joyful day as we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. These past few days before this Easter day, the Church has been quietly awaiting the Resurrection of Christ. Our Lord had been in the tomb and we waited anxiously, but confidently. Christ had not been dormant in the tomb. He had gone to sheol to seek and gather all those who had died before him, starting from Adam and Eve, Abraham, Moses, and David. They had been waiting for a long time and we can imagine the joy that they had when they saw Jesus himself coming to free them. Christ has destroyed death and thrown open the gate of heaven. “Rise,” he said to them, “let us leave this place. Come into my Father’s house!” It was an event of epic proportion, to put it mildly. But Mary Magdalene in our Gospel reading today did not know what was happening. Like the rest of us she had been waiting, anxiously, for the Sabbath to be over in order so that she might anoint Jesus’ body. She wanted to go because she loved Jesus very much. So very early in the morning, she hurried quietly to his tomb. In her haste, she realized that she had forgotten one major detail: “Who will roll away the large stone in the entrance of the tomb? Should I go back?” But then she remembered what Jesus had told them: “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed you can move a mountain.” So she kept going, not relying on human strength, but on faith and love. And behold, God did not disappoint. The tomb was wide open. God saw her faith and told one of his angels to open the tomb. Little did she know that her faith can do more than move a mountain, it can lead to a privileged vision: The empty tomb. The angel had been waiting patiently to tell her: "Do not be amazed! You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been raised; he is not here.” She was tempted to question him, but she remembered Jesus’ words: “destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up!” Mary Magdalene ran and told Peter and the other disciples, “It is true, what he said was true... I have seen and believed!” Love, excitement, fear, and joy! Now, together with Adam, Eve, Abraham, all the patriarchs and the prophets, they finally can say: we have seen and believed! And together they all rejoice. Christ is risen. Truly the Good Shepherd does not abandon his flock. God really does love us. The Resurrection of Christ confirms this unseen reality. Like Mary, Peter, and the disciple in the Gospel, our faith has led us to an encounter with the resurrected Christ this day. With joy, we join all the saints who have seen, heard and believed what the angel in the tomb said: “He has been raised, he is not here,” and we exclaim with them “Christ is truly risen. Amen. Alleluia!
Fr. Bernard Timothy, OP

EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD
First Reading: Acts 10:34a, 37-43 Peter discusses Jesus' life of preaching and healing. Jesus was crucified, and then he rose up and was seen by his chosen witnesses. Peter also mentions the importance of all the disciples bearing witness to what they saw, so that many people would believe in Jesus, and have their sins forgiven through him. Second Reading: Colossians 3:1-4 Paul asserts that we must pay attention to higher realms rather than earthly concerns. Our life is not yet completely known to us, until Christ appears and we are raised to glory in him. Gospel: John 20:1-9 When Mary Magdalene discovered Jesus' tomb was open, she told Simon Peter and another disciple. They ran to the tomb and Peter went inside. He found the burial wrappings on the ground, with the head covering separate from the rest. The other disciple came in and they believed what they saw, although until then they had not understood the Scripture's message of Jesus' resurrection.
