Thank you for your support to the 2017 Share Lent Campaign:

Development and Peace – Caritas Canada thanks everyone who

donated to Share Lent. Thanks to your generosity, $847.00 was

collected in our parish. This sum will go towards meeting the needs

of our sisted and brothers in Africa, Asia, Latin Amaerica and the

Middle East. If you have not had a chance to make a donation,

there is still time to place your Share Lent envelope in the

Offertory or to make a donation directly at www.devp.org/give

Thank you for continuing to pray for all those who are working to

build a world of peace and justice.

Do I welcome Jesus into my heart?

Am I ready to surrender my life to Him during this Holy Week and

welcome him into all areas of my life as my Lord and Saviour,

singing “hosanna”? Today, we receive palm branches as the Divine

Liturgy. Let us take them to our homes and put them some place

where we can always see them. Let the palms remind us that Christ

is the king of our families, that Christ is the king of our hearts, that

Christ is the only true answer to our quest for happiness and

meaning in our lives. And if we do proclaim Christ as our king, let

us try to make time for Him in our daily life; let us be reminded

that He is the one with whom we will be spending eternity. Let us

be reminded further that our careers, our education, our finances,

our homes, all of the basic material needs in our lives are only

temporary. Let us prioritize and place Christ the king as the

primary concern in our lives. It is only when we have done this that

we will find true peace and happiness in our confused and complex

world.

Gospel John 20.1-9 www.loyolapress.com

Mary of Magdala finds that the stone has been removed from Jesus'

tomb.

Gospel Reflection

Today we begin the Easter Season, our 50-day meditation on the

mystery of Christ's Resurrection. Our Gospel today tells us about

the disciples' discovery of the empty tomb. It concludes by telling

us that they did not yet understand that Jesus had risen from the

dead. Thus, the details provided are not necessarily meant to offer

proof of the Resurrection. The details invite us to reflect upon a

most amazing gift, that is faith in Jesus and his Resurrection. Each

of the four Gospels tells us that Jesus' empty tomb was first

discovered by women. This is notable because in first-century

Jewish society women could not serve as legal witnesses. In the

case of John's Gospel, the only woman attending the tomb is Mary

of Magdala. Unlike the Synoptic accounts, John's Gospel does not

describe an appearance of angels at the tomb. Instead, Mary is

simply said to have observed that the stone that had sealed the

tomb had been moved, and she runs to alert Simon Peter and the

beloved disciple. Her statement to them is telling. She assumes that

Jesus' body has been removed, perhaps stolen. She does not

consider that Jesus has been raised from the dead. Simon Peter and

the beloved disciple race to the tomb, presumably to verify Mary's

report. The beloved disciple arrives first but does not enter the

tomb until after Simon Peter. This detail paints a vivid picture, as

does the detail provided about the burial cloths. Some scholars

believe that the presence of the burial cloths in the tomb offers

evidence to the listener that Jesus' body had not been stolen (it is

understood that grave robbers would have taken the burial cloths

together with the body). The Gospel passage concludes, however,

that even having seen the empty tomb and the burial cloths, the

disciples do not yet understand about the Resurrection. In the

passage that follows, Mary of Magdala meets Jesus but mistakes

him for the gardener. In the weeks ahead, the Gospel readings from

our liturgy will show us how the disciples came to believe in Jesus'

Resurrection through his appearances to them. Our Easter faith is

based on their witness to both the empty tomb and their continuing

relationship with Jesus—in his appearances and in his gift of the

Holy Spirit.
