Easter Sunday (April 4, 2010)
John 20:1-9
Where God's Action is Found
Mary of Magdala runs away from the tomb, where God's glorious action has taken place. Thus, like the darkness surrounding her, she has not yet come to believe.
Simon and the other disciple, on the other hand, upon hearing the news, run toward the tomb. They see the evidence of God's action (the burial cloths and the cloth that has covered Jesus' head), and believe.
The tomb, the place of the death, by God's action, has become the place of life and faith.
This passage on Christ's Resurrection in John's gospel invites us to see God's action in our life, especially in times of sufferings and death.
Christ has conquered death. He is alive.
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)
This blog intends to provide readers an opportunity to be nourished by the Word of God. It invites readers to read, reflect and pray the Gospel passage that they will hear during the upcoming Sunday's Liturgy. With the commentaries provided, readers have the possibility of studying and meditating on the Word. Finally, readers are invited to share their reflections, thus creating an on-line lectio divina/faith sharing group, and so sustaining each other in the faith and the love for God's Word.
