Singing to the Gospel (1 Cor 5:7-8) Hallelujah, hallelujah. Christ, our Easter, was sacrificed: Let us celebrate in the Lord. Hallelujah. Jn 20:1-9 He was to rise from the dead. From the Gospel according to John
On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdalene went to the tomb in the morning, when it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. He ran then and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord away from the tomb and we do not know where they have placed him! Peter then went out with the other disciple and went to the tomb. They both ran together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and came first to the tomb. He bent down, saw the sheets laid there, but did not enter. Meanwhile Simon Peter, who was following him, also arrived and entered the tomb and observed the cloths laid there, and the shroud - which had been on his head - not laid there with the cloths, but wrapped in a separate place. Then came the other disciple, who had come first to the tomb, and saw and believed. For they had not yet understood the Scripture, that he should rise from the dead.
FAUSTI - The Evangelist, recalling together the first and last day, alludes to the fact that we entered the day of the Lord, the fulfilment of everything in God and of God in everything. God, creating the world, had in sight the Resurrection of His Son, in which the whole universe is redeemed from death. Before the burial there was talk of the preparation of "that Sabbath, which was a solemn day", that is Easter This first day after Saturday is the eighth day: it is "Sunday". on the day of the Lord, when Saturday, Easter and Pentecost are celebrated together. In it lives the new creation, redeemed from evil and full of the Spirit. The other Gospels also remember the other women. John only mentions Mary Magdalene, making her the typical disciple. In fact, she was at the foot of the cross, under the tree where the Bridegroom woke her up. Now, after seeing him elevated, he looks for him where they have placed him. Mary expects to find the Body of Jesus there. The tomb, the fundamental memory of man, is built by the affection of those who live, for those who have died. Mary cannot understand. She runs to announce the disappearance of Jesus. Think that they have stolen Him. She has not yet understood that love overcomes death. "She comes to Simon Peter and the other disciple. Peter, who has denied, is appointed first. He is placed as the first of the disciples because he has experienced what does us disciples.. The Lord's faithfulness to our infidelity. The "other disciple" is not simply the other between two, but the other, the different. In fact, he placed his head in the womb and on the chest of Jesus, who then saw pierced.
