Easter Sunday
the Resurrection of the Lord
Acts 10:34,37-43; Ps 118; Colossians 3:1-4 or 1Corinthians 5:6-8; John 20:1-9
Jesus has risen from the dead
Mary Magdalen approaches the tomb with anxious steps. It is empty! What has happened? Has the body been stolen? She rushes to find Peter and the other disciples. Jesus has disappeared! What next? Search? Pray? Had they forgotten that Jesus said he would rise on the third day? Have we forgotten that Jesus is waiting for us to be with him through our prayers?
