39 그리고 우리는 그분께서 유다 지방과 예루살렘에서 하신 모든 일의 증인입니다그들이 예수님을 나무에 매달아 죽였지만, 40 하느님께서는 그분을 사흘 만에 일으키시어 사람들에게 나타나게 하셨습니다. 41 그러나 모든 백성에게 나타나신 것이 아니라하느님께서 미리 증인으로 선택하신 우리에게 나타나셨습니다그분께서 죽은 이들 가운데에서 다시 살아나신 뒤에우리는 그분과 함께 먹기도 하고 마시기도 하였습니다

주간 첫날 이른 아침아직도 어두울 때에 마리아 막달레나가 무덤에 가서 보니무덤을 막았던 돌이 치워져 있었다. 2 그래서 그 여자는 시몬 베드로와 예수님께서 사랑하신 다른 제자에게 달려가서 말하였다. “누가 주님을 무덤에서 꺼내 갔습니다.어디에 모셨는지 모르겠습니다.”
베드로와 다른 제자는 밖으로 나와 무덤으로 갔다. 4 두 사람이 함께 달렸는데다른 제자가 베드로보다 빨리 달려 무덤에 먼저 다다랐다. 5 그는 몸을 굽혀 아마포가 놓여 있는 것을 보기는 하였지만안으로 들어가지는 않았다
시몬 베드로가 뒤따라와서 무덤으로 들어가 아마포가 놓여 있는 것을 보았다. 7 예수님의 얼굴을 쌌던 수건은 아마포와 함께 놓여 있지 않고따로 한곳에 개켜져 있었다. 8 그제야 무덤에 먼저 다다른 다른 제자도 들어갔다그리고 보고 믿었다. 9사실 그들은 예수님께서 죽은 이들 가운데에서 다시 살아나셔야 한다는 성경 말씀을 아직 깨닫지 못하고 있었던 것이다.

Reading 1

Acts 10:34a, 37-43

Peter proceeded to speak and said:

“You know what has happened all over Judea ,

beginning in Galilee after the baptism

that John preached,

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth

with the Holy Spirit and power.

He went about doing good

and healing all those oppressed by the devil,

for God was with him.

We are witnesses of all that he did

both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem .

They put him to death by hanging him on a tree.

This man God raised on the third day and granted that he be visible,

not to all the people, but to us,

the witnesses chosen by God in advance,

who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

He commissioned us to preach to the people

and testify that he is the one appointed by God

as judge of the living and the dead.

To him all the prophets bear witness,

that everyone who believes in him

will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.”

Reading 2

Col 3:1-4 or I Cor 5:6b-8

Brothers and sisters:

If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above,

where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

Think of what is above, not of what is on earth.

For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ your life appears,

then you too will appear with him in glory.

 

or

I Cor 5:6b-8

Brothers and sisters:

Do you not know that a little yeast leavens all the dough?

Clear out the old yeast,

so that you may become a fresh batch of dough,

inasmuch as you are unleavened.

For our paschal lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed.

Therefore, let us celebrate the feast,

not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness,

but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

 

Gospel

Jn 20:1-9 or  Lk 24:1-12 or Lk 24:13-35

Jn 20:1-9

On the first day of the week,
Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning,
while it was still dark, 
and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
So she ran and went to Simon Peter 
and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, 
“They have taken the Lord from the tomb, 
and we don’t know where they put him.”
So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.
They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter 
and arrived at the tomb first; 
he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.
When Simon Peter arrived after him, 
he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, 
and the cloth that had covered his head, 
not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
Then the other disciple also went in, 
the one who had arrived at the tomb first, 
and he saw and believed.
For they did not yet understand the Scripture 
that he had to rise from the dead.

or

Lk 24:1-12

At daybreak on the first day of the week 
the women who had come from Galilee with Jesus 
took the spices they had prepared
and went to the tomb.
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb;
but when they entered,
they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
While they were puzzling over this, behold,
two men in dazzling garments appeared to them.
They were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground. 
They said to them,
“Why do you seek the living one among the dead?
He is not here, but he has been raised.
Remember what he said to you while he was still in Galilee , 
that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners
and be crucified, and rise on the third day.”
And they remembered his words.
Then they returned from the tomb
and announced all these things to the eleven
and to all the others.
The women were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James;
the others who accompanied them also told this to the apostles,
but their story seemed like nonsense
and they did not believe them.
But Peter got up and ran to the tomb, 
bent down, and saw the burial cloths alone;
then he went home amazed at what had happened.

or

Lk 24:13-35

For afternoon or evening Mass
That very day, the first day of the week, 
two of Jesus’ disciples were going
to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus,
and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred.
And it happened that while they were conversing and debating,
Jesus himself drew near and walked with them,
but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.
He asked them, 
“What are you discussing as you walk along?”
They stopped, looking downcast.
One of them, named Cleopas, said to him in reply,
“Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem
who does not know of the things
that have taken place there in these days?”
And he replied to them, “What sort of things?”
They said to him, 
“The things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene,
who was a prophet mighty in deed and word
before God and all the people,
how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over
to a sentence of death and crucified him.
But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel ;
and besides all this,
it is now the third day since this took place.
Some women from our group, however, have astounded us:
they were at the tomb early in the morning 
and did not find his body;
they came back and reported
that they had indeed seen a vision of angels
who announced that he was alive.
Then some of those with us went to the tomb
and found things just as the women had described,
but him they did not see.”
And he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are!
How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke!
Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things
and enter into his glory?”
Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets,
he interpreted to them what referred to him
in all the Scriptures.
As they approached the village to which they were going,
he gave the impression that he was going on farther.
But they urged him, “Stay with us,
for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.”
So he went in to stay with them.
And it happened that, while he was with them at table,
he took bread, said the blessing,
broke it, and gave it to them.
With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him,
but he vanished from their sight.
Then they said to each other,
“Were not our hearts burning within us
while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?”
So they set out at once and returned to Jerusalem
where they found gathered together
the eleven and those with them who were saying,
“The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!”
Then the two recounted 
what had taken place on the way
and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.

“Away grief’s gasping, joyless days,
Dejection. Across my foundering deck shown a beacon, an eternal beam.”
G. M. Hopkins, S.J.

The very first time the person of Jesus appears in the Gospel of John, He beckons two disciples of the Baptist to “come and see”. The remainder of the Gospel follows those three words. Jesus will be flashing signs inviting a faith-statement from those who could see. Seeing becomes a most important response to seeing the signs. Chapter nine is entirely dedicated to the recovery of seeing for a man who was born not able to see. Jesus came to be seen! In the same first chapter, that same John the Baptist declares that he has seen and testifies that, “He is the Son of God”. Jn. 1-34 So the theme is set and meant to be seen through out the Gospel.

All the “seeing” in the remainder of John’s Gospel leads to our Easter-Liturgy.  Mary Magdala arrives and what she does see is not Jesus, but a visible fact, the stone guarding the tomb was rolled away. One of John’s other key images is “light and dark”, “It was still dark”.  Whether out of fear, excitement or uncertainty, or just as a news broadcaster, Mary runs to find help .

John, the “disciple whom Jesus loved” and Peter ran to the tomb.  John got there first.  Peter arrived second, but was the first to come into the tomb. Here’s what they saw.  Nothing!  Emptiness except for the burial cloths. John "saw and believed."  They did not understand, but lived beyond that.

I have the joy and enjoyment of guiding engaged-couples, here at Creighton University, through their preparation for their beginning the Sacramental Journey of Marriage. Eventually we get to their first meeting, their courtship, their individual arrival at the awareness of their love for each other. It is seldom arrived at simultaneously. Guess who comes in second most often.

My interest is around the amount of signs, gestures, surprises, demonstrations, even words to convince the other. “How close did you have to come? How definitively to force the issue?” That does stop them for a while. “Close enough to attract, but not so close as to force!” They usually laugh at themselves which resolves into the mystery of their loving relationship. It cannot be proven!

Next Sunday we will be encouraged by the words of Jesus, after Thomas’ belief-statement, that those are blessed who have not seen and yet believe. It is a comfort to be blessed for believing without seeing, but it is very hard, especially in the darks of our human days.

This great Easter event celebrates that God has come very close, close enough to attract us. God has kept a safe distance so to allow belief to be a free response to that closeness. Of course, we want “more please,” more tangibility, more of seeing. We like to be convinced as with the engaged-couples. They want their love, their belief in their being loved, to be a heartfully-free response. Mary Magdala and her two seeking companions did not see what they wanted, what their hearts longed for. Their Easter is so similar to our own these days of light, growth and still seeking all that we desire and hope for. Enjoy the not-seeing, not being convinced and yet believing. In short, enjoy entering into the belief-seeing of Jesus’ early friends as they lived His Resurrection without their seeing.

RISEN LIFE IN JESUS

“Since you have been raised up in company with Christ, set your heart on what pertains to higher realms where Christ is seated at God’s right hand. Be intent on things above rather than on things of earth.” —Colossians 3:1-2

Alleluia! Jesus is risen! His tomb is empty! “Death has no more power over Him” (Rm 6:9). Alleluia!

Because we’ve been baptized into Christ, we have died with Him (Rm 6:3). “If we have been united with Him through likeness to His death, so shall we be through a like resurrection” (Rm 6:5). This very day we have already “been raised up” with Jesus to share in His glorious, heavenly, risen life (Col 3:1).

For many in the United States, the joy of Easter means returning to the things we gave up for Lent. It’s back to chocolate, sweets, soft drinks, ice cream, etc. Yes, we do have to “celebrate and rejoice” on Easter (Lk 15:32), and these treats help us to celebrate, but if we find our joy simply in returning to the old life we lived before Lent, we will have missed Easter.

Jesus is the reason for the season! He is risen! We are invited to a risen life with Him that is so new, powerful, and exciting that we can’t sufficiently celebrate it with the “old yeast,” that is, our old joys and old lifestyle (1 Cor 5:7). Let us “be intent on things above rather than on things of earth” (Col 3:2). Let’s celebrate the fifty-day Easter season by immersing ourselves in God’s Word, which is sweeter than the tastiest candy (Ps 119:103), and in the Eucharist, the “bread of sincerity and truth” (1 Cor 5:8).

Prayer:  Father, give me new, risen ways to celebrate “this new life” (Acts 5:20). Praise and glory to You, risen Jesus!

Promise:  “He saw and believed.” —Jn 20:8

Praise:  “This is the day the Lord has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it” (Ps 118:24). Jesus is risen! Alleluia!

 What did the disciples of Jesus discover on the third day of Jesus' death? On Sunday morning the women who had stood with Jesus when he died upon the cross on Good Friday went to the tomb to pay their last tribute to a dead body. The disciples thought that everything had finished in tragedy. None of Jesus' followers were expecting to see an empty tomb and hear the angel's message, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise" (Luke 24:5-7). The angel urged them to believe that Jesus had indeed risen just as he had promised. This good news was not easy for them to grasp because their hearts were still weighed down with grief and doubt. In wonder they went to share the good news with the other disciples.


Is it any small wonder that it was the women, rather than the apostles, who first witnessed the empty tomb and then the appearance of the resurrected Lord (Matthew 28:8-10; Mark 16:9; John 20:15-18)? Isidore of Seville (560-636 AD), a great teacher and bishop, commented on the significance of the women being the first to hear the good news of the resurrection: "As a woman (Eve) was first to taste death, so a woman (Mary Magdalene) was first to taste life. As a woman was prescient in the fall, so a woman was prescient in beholding the dawning of redemption, thus reversing the curse upon Eve." The first to testify to the risen Lord was a woman from whom Jesus had cast out seven demons.

What is the significance of the stone being rolled away? It would have taken several people to move such a stone. And besides, the sealed tomb had been guarded by soldiers! This is clearly the first sign of the resurrection. Bede (672-735 AD), a renowned scripture commentator from England, wrote: "[The angel] rolled back the stone not to throw open a way for our Lord to come forth, but to provide evidence to people that he had already come forth. As the virgin's womb was closed, so the sepulcher was closed, yet he entered the world through her closed womb, and so he left the world through the closed sepulcher" (from Homilies on the Gospels 2,7,24). Peter Chrysologus (400-450 AD), another early church father remarked: "To behold the resurrection, the stone must first be rolled away from our hearts." Do you know the joy of the resurrection?

It is significant that the disciples had to first deal with the empty tomb before they could come to grips with the fact that scripture had foretold that Jesus would die for our sins and then rise triumphant. They disbelieved until they saw the empty tomb. Bede (672-735 AD) explains why the Risen Lord chose to reveal himself gradually to the disciples:

"Our Lord and redeemer revealed the glory of his resurrection to his disciples gradually and over a period of time, undoubtedly because so great was the virtue of the miracle that the weak hearts of mortals could not grasp [the significance of] this all at once. Thus, he had regard for the frailty of those seeking him. To those who came first to the tomb, both the women who were aflame with love for him and the men, he showed the stone rolled back. Since his body had been carried away, he showed them the linen cloths in which it had been wrapped lying there alone. Then, to the women who were searching eagerly, who were confused in their minds about what they had found out about him, he showed a vision of angels who disclosed evidences of the fact that he had risen again. Thus, with the report of his resurrection already accomplished, going ahead of him, the Lord of hosts and the king of glory himself at length appeared and made clear with what great might he had overcome the death he had temporarily tasted." (From Homilies on the Gospels 2,9,25)

One thing is certain, if Jesus had not risen from the dead and appeared to his disciples, we would never have heard of him. Nothing else could have changed sad and despairing men and women into people radiant with joy and courage. The reality of the resurrection is the central fact of the Christian faith. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Lord gives us "eyes of faith" to know him and the power of his resurrection. The greatest joy we can have is to encounter the living Lord and to know him personally. Do you celebrate the feast of Easter with joy and thanksgiving for the victory which Jesus has won for you over sin and death?

Lord Jesus Christ, you have triumphed over the grave and you have won new life for us. Give me the eyes of faith to see you in your glory. Help me to draw near to you and to grow in the knowledge of your great love and power.

Psalm 118:1-2,16-17,22-23


1 O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his steadfast love endures for ever!
2 Let Israel say, "His steadfast love endures for ever."
16 the right hand of the LORD is exalted, the right hand of the LORD does valiantly!"
17 I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the LORD.
22 The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.
23 This is the LORD's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.

Daily Quote from the Early Church Fathers: Christ destroyed death to bring us life, from a sermon by Leo the Great, 400-461 A.D.

"God's compassion for us is all the more wonderful because Christ died, not for the righteous or the holy but for the wicked and the sinful, and, though the divine nature could not be touched by the sting of death, he took to himself, through his birth as one of us, something he could offer on our behalf. The power of his death once confronted our death. In the words of Hosea the prophet: Death, I shall be your death; grave, I shall swallow you up. By dying he submitted to the laws of the underworld; by rising again he destroyed them. He did away with the everlasting character of death so as to make death a thing of time, not of eternity. As all die in Adam, so all will be brought to life in Christ."
