JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN TODAY,
ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA. Today we
celebrate with great joy the day
of our Lord’s Resurrection and His
victory over sin and death. Today
we also begin the Easter Season,
our 50-day meditation on the mystery of
Christ's Resurrection. Our Gospel today tells
us about the disciples' discovery of the empty
tomb. Each of the four Gospels tells us that
Jesus' empty tomb was first discovered by
women. This is notable because in firstcentury Jewish society women could not
serve as legal witnesses. In the case of
John's Gospel, the only woman discovering
the empty tomb is Mary of Magdala. Unlike the
accounts in the other Gospels, John's Gospel
does not describe an appearance of angels at
the tomb. Instead, Mary is simply said to have
observed that the stone that had sealed the
tomb had been moved, and she runs to alert
Simon Peter and the beloved disciple. Her
statement to them is telling. She assumes
that Jesus' body has been removed, perhaps
stolen. She does not consider that Jesus has
been raised from the dead.
Simon Peter and John, the beloved disciple,
race to the tomb, presumably to verify Mary's
report. John arrives first but does not enter
the tomb until after Simon Peter. This detail
paints a vivid picture, as does the detail
provided about the burial cloths. Some
scholars believe that the presence of the
burial cloths in the tomb offers evidence that
Jesus' body had not been stolen because
grave robbers would have taken the burial
cloths with the body.
Today’s Gospel passage concludes with the
disciples not fully understanding Jesus’
Resurrection. In the passage that follows,
Mary of Magdala meets Jesus but mistakes
Him for a gardener. In the weeks ahead, the
Gospel readings in our liturgies will show us
how the disciples came to believe in Jesus'
Resurrection through His appearances to
them. Our Easter faith is based on their
witness to the empty tomb, their later
encounters with our Risen Lord and their
ongoing relationship with Him.

SILENT NO MORE
Sponsored by Ushers Uniting for Life
If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she
gives birth prematurely, but there is no serious injury, the
offender must be fined… But if there is serious injury, you
are to take life for life, eye for eye.
~ Ex 21:22-24
REFLECTION: The phrase “no serious injury” applies
equally to mother and child. According to Hebrew scholar
Dr. Gleason Archer, “There is no second class status
attached to the fetus under this rule. The fetus is just as
valuable as the mother.”
PRAYER: Lord, as You care for every one of Your
children, may we do likewise.

which graces flow are opened”. (Diary 699) Our Lord made a
great promise to all those souls who would go to Confession
and then receive Him in Holy Communion on the Feast of
Mercy, on the Sunday after Easter, which is now called
Divine Mercy Sunday throughout the Catholic Church. Jesus
promised that “the soul that will go to Confession and
receive Holy Communion shall obtain the complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.” (Diary 699)

Jesus said to St. Faustina "I am offering people a vessel with
which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of
mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: “Jesus,
I trust in You". (Diary 327) “The two rays denote Blood and
Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls
righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life
of souls. These two rays issued forth from the very depths of
My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a
lance on the cross. …Happy is the one who will dwell in their
shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of Him.”
(Diary 299)
About the feast day "Divine Mercy Sunday", Jesus said "…tell
the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that
the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and
especially poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My
tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces
upon the souls who approach the Fount of My Mercy. On
that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow
are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even
though its sins be as scarlet.... Mankind will not have peace
until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy." (Diary 699)
Our Lord said "When you go to confession, to this fountain
before Me, the person of the priest is… only a screen. Never
analyze what sort of a priest that I am making use of; open
your soul in confession to Me, and I will fill it with My light."
