Sunday 17 April 2022 – Easter of the Resurrection of the Lord

+ From the Gospel according to John (Jn 20: 1-9)

On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala went to the tomb in the morning, when it was still dark, and she saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb.
She then ran 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 they went to the tomb. They both ran together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and was the first to reach the tomb. He bent down, saw the cloths laid there, but did not enter.
Meanwhile, Simon Peter also came, following him, and went into 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 the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also entered, and he saw and believed. In fact, they had not yet understood Scripture, that he was to rise from the dead.
