Easter

Easter - Alleluia! He is risen.

On the third day Mary Magdalene went to the tomb. She found the seal removed and the tomb empty. Mary was a loyal and faithful disciple of Jesus as he preached to the crowds and healed the sick. She, with the other women, stood at the cross and watched her friend and master die a very public and humiliating death. Now after his death and burial, she is still looking for him. Imagine her surprise and shock when she saw that the huge stone that covered the tomb was rolled away. Imagine her shock and disappointment when she saw that the tomb was empty. 

We are called to follow Mary’s example; we too are asked to go and tell, to go and share the good news of our faith with others. Mary did not keep the good news of the resurrection to herself and neither can we. Just as Jesus called Mary by her name, he calls each of us today by our name today. Like her, we too are called to be missionary disciples who share and proclaim the good news of the resurrection with all those we meet. We do this in countless ordinary ways through the quality of our daily lives and how we treat others.

During this season of Easter let us follow Mary's example as we celebrate and experience the Resurrection of Jesus; let us go and share with others our own good news; Jesus is risen, death has been defeated, light and goodness have triumphed. Jesus is risen and Alleluia is our song.
