EASTER SUNDAY – RESURRECTION OF THE LORD

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

On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb in the morning, while 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 don’t know where they have put him!”.
Peter then went out together with the other disciple and they went to the tomb. They both ran together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down, saw the sheets laid there, but did not enter.
Meanwhile, Simon Peter also arrived, following him, and entered the tomb and observed the cloths placed there, and the shroud – which had been on his head – not placed there with the cloths, but wrapped in a separate place.
Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in and saw and believed. In fact they had not yet understood the Scripture, that is, that he had to rise from the dead.
