The
Resurrection of Jesus
Early on the first day of the week, while it was
still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and
saw that the stone had been removed from the
tomb. So she ran and went to
Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom
Jesus loved, and said to them, ‘They have taken
the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know
where they have laid him.’
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she
wept, she bent over to look
into the tomb; and she saw
two angels in white, sitting where the body of
Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the
other at the feet. They said
to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping?’ She said
to them, ‘They have taken away my Lord, and I do
not know where they have laid him.’
When she had said this, she turned round and saw
Jesus standing there, but she did not know that
it was Jesus.
Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? For whom are
you looking?’ Supposing him to be the gardener,
she said to him, ‘Sir, if you have carried him
away, tell me where you have laid him, and I
will take him away.’ Jesus
said to her, ‘Mary!’ She turned and said to him
in Hebrew,
‘Rabbouni!’ (which means Teacher).
Jesus said to her, ‘Do not hold on to me,
because I have not yet ascended to the Father.
But go to my brothers and say to them, “I am
ascending to my Father and your Father, to my
God and your God.”’ Mary Magdalene went
and announced to the disciples, ‘I have seen the
Lord’; and she told them that he had said these
things to her.
Quote of the Week
“Mary’s
experience teaches us that... to follow [God] requires a faith
that does not demand worldly approval or visible signs of
affirmation. We follow God in darkness, knowing that God
himself is the meaning and end of our journey”
From
“Rediscovering Mary” by Tina Beattie, available in the
Parish Library.
