제1독서
<우리가 보고 들은 것을 여러분에게도 선포합니다.>
요한 1서 1,1-4
사랑하는 여러분, 1 처음부터 있어 온 것, 우리가 들은 것
우리 눈으로 본 것, 우리가 살펴보고 우리 손으로 만져 본 것,
이 생명의 말씀에 관하여 말하고자 합니다.
2 그 생명이 나타나셨습니다. 우리가 그 생명을 보고 증언합니다.
그리고 여러분에게 그 영원한 생명을 선포합니다.
영원한 생명은 아버지와 함께 계시다가 우리에게 나타나셨습니다.
3 우리가 보고 들은 것을 여러분에게도 선포합니다.
여러분도 우리와 친교를 나누게 하려는 것입니다.
우리의 친교는 아버지와 또 그 아드님이신 예수 그리스도와 나누는 것입니다.
4 우리의 기쁨이 충만해지도록 이 글을 씁니다.
복음
<다른 제자가 베드로보다 빨리 달려 무덤에 먼저 다다랐다.>
요한. 20,2-8
주간 첫날, 마리아 막달레나는 2 시몬 베드로와
예수님께서 사랑하신 다른 제자에게 달려가서 말하였다.
“누가 주님을 무덤에서 꺼내 갔습니다. 어디에 모셨는지 모르겠습니다.”
3 베드로와 다른 제자는 밖으로 나와 무덤으로 갔다.
4 두 사람이 함께 달렸는데,
다른 제자가 베드로보다 빨리 달려 무덤에 먼저 다다랐다.
5 그는 몸을 굽혀 아마포가 놓여 있는 것을 보기는 하였지만,
안으로 들어가지는 않았다.
6 시몬 베드로가 뒤따라와서 무덤으로 들어가 아마포가 놓여 있는 것을 보았다.
7 예수님의 얼굴을 쌌던 수건은 아마포와 함께 놓여 있지 않고,
따로 한곳에 개켜져 있었다.
8 그제야 무덤에 먼저 다다른 다른 제자도 들어갔다. 그리고 보고 믿었다.

Reading 1
Beloved:
What was from the beginning,
what we have heard,
what we have seen with our eyes,
what we looked upon
and touched with our hands
concerns the Word of lifeB
for the life was made visible;
we have seen it and testify to it
and proclaim to you the eternal life
that was with the Father and was made visible to usB
what we have seen and heard
we proclaim now to you,
so that you too may have fellowship with us;
for our fellowship is with the Father
and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
We are writing this so that our joy may be complete.
Responsorial Psalm
R. (12) Rejoice in the Lord, you just!
The LORD is king; let the earth rejoice;
let the many isles be glad.
Clouds and darkness are around him,
justice and judgment are the foundation of his throne.
R. Rejoice in the Lord, you just!
The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
before the LORD of all the earth.
The heavens proclaim his justice,
and all peoples see his glory.
R. Rejoice in the Lord, you just!
Light dawns for the just;
and gladness, for the upright of heart.
Be glad in the LORD, you just,
and give thanks to his holy name.
R. Rejoice in the Lord, you just!
Gospel
On the first day of the week,
Mary Magdalene 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 do not 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.

Seeing, Hearing, Proclaiming
In a striking parallel to the prologue of the Gospel of John, today’s first reading presents the mystery of Jesus, the Word of Life. The focus of this prologue, however, is not so much on this Word, but on the witness, the testimony, of those who saw, heard, and touched Jesus: “What we have seen and heard we proclaim now to you.”
The triad, seeing, hearing, and proclaiming, serves as a concise summary of the apostolic life and calling, the life that has borne witness to Jesus, not only in that first generation of witnesses, but down to our own day.
When we consider what has impacted us most in our faith journey, certainly what we have seen and heard from other people remains a powerful influence . It may have been a teacher, or priest, or religious. Perhaps it was the example of parents, spouse, close friends, or even neighbors. It may be that reading about the life of a saint set us on fire.
An attractive joy manifested to others, a life deeply committed to practical acts of charity, an extraordinary resilience in the face of trial and suffering are eloquent testimonies. They provoke questions in the hearts of those who see and hear: “Why are you so happy? What moved you to do that? How have you been able to survive so much difficulty?” Responding to questions like that can deepen the witness. As we read in the First Letter of Peter: “Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope.”
The Feast day today and the accompanying scripture remind us that we, too, are among those who have seen and heard. Now it is our time to proclaim, in small ways, or large ways, by our joy, our charity, our life of faith, the One we have seen and heard.

LOVE SUPREME, INFINITE, AND DIVINE
“On the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb. She saw that the stone had been moved away, so she ran off to Simon Peter and the other disciple (the one Jesus loved) and told them...” —John 20:1-2
St. John has been traditionally identified with “the beloved disciple” (Jn 13:23; 19:26; 20:2; 21:7). However, the Church has also interpreted John 19:26 to mean that the beloved disciple may not be specifically named to show that he represents all of Jesus’ disciples for all times. All of Jesus’ disciples are beloved. All of His disciples can have a miraculous, mysterious relationship with Him in the Eucharist (see Jn 13:23). All of Jesus’ disciples must stand at the foot of the cross (Jn 19:26), deny themselves, and take up the cross each day (Lk 9:23). All of Jesus’ disciples can and must believe in the risen Lord (Jn 20:2) and exclaim publicly: “It is the Lord!” (Jn 21:7)
Christmas is the season when all the beloved disciples are especially invited to become more aware of being the beloved of Christ. Most of us know that Jesus loves us. However, no one knows how much He loves us. If we were to fully realize “one-millionth” of His infinite love for us, we would be so shocked we would die. Nevertheless, during this Christmas season, let us grasp as fully as we can with our human limitations “the breadth and length and height and depth of Christ’s love, and experience this love which surpasses all knowledge, so that [we] may attain to the fullness of God Himself” (Eph 3:18-19).
Prayer: Father, at the Masses of this Christmas season, reveal more deeply in Your Word Your Son’s love for me.
Promise: “This is what we proclaim to you: what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked upon and our hands have touched — we speak of the Word of life.” —1 Jn 1:1
Praise: St. John shared the Good News to make us “realize that [we] possess eternal life” (1 Jn 5:13).

What was it like for those who encountered the only begotten Son of God in human form? John, the beloved disciple of Jesus, wrote his Gospel as an eye-witness of the Word of God who became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:1,14), and who died and rose for our salvation. John was the first apostle to reach the tomb of Jesus on Easter Sunday morning. Like the other disciples, he was not ready to see an empty tomb and to hear the angel's message, Why do you seek the living among the dead (Luke 24:5)?
The Lord Jesus came to set us free from sin and death and give us everlasting life
What did John see in the tomb that led him to believe in the resurrection of Jesus? It was certainly not a dead body. The dead body of Jesus would have dis-proven the resurrection and made his death a tragic conclusion to a glorious career as a great teacher and miracle worker. When John saw the empty tomb he must have recalled Jesus' prophecy that he would rise again after three days. Through the gift of faith John realized that no tomb on earth could contain the Lord and giver of life.
Jesus is the eternal Son of the Father and the Savior who died and rose for us
John in his first epistle testifies: What we have seen, heard, and touched we proclaim as the word of life which existed "from the beginning" (1 John 1:1-4). John bears witness to what has existed from all eternity. This "Word of Life" is Jesus the Word Incarnate, but also Jesus as the word announced by the prophets and Jesus the word now preached throughout the Christian churches for all ages to come. 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 Jesus Christ and to know him personally as our Savior and Lord.
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 that sets us free to love and serve you now and forever in your everlasting kingdom.
Psalm 97:1-2, 5-6, 11-12
1 The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad!
2 Clouds and thick darkness are round about him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness; and all the peoples behold his glory.
11 Light dawns for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!
Daily Quote from the Early Church Fathers: The Word of Life was seen and touched, by Severus of Antioch (488-538 AD)
"Given that this same John also said, 'No one has ever seen God' (John 1:18, 1 John 1:4:12), how can he assure us that the living Word of Life has been seen and touched? It is clear that it was in his incarnate and human form that he was visible and touchable. What was not true of him by nature became true of him in that way, for he is one and the same indivisible Word, both visible and invisible, and without diminishing in either respect he became touchable in both his divine-human nature. For he worked his miracles in his divinity and suffered for us in his humanity." (excerpt from CATENA)
