Easter Sunday – Sunday, 4th April 2010
...Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
 

They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,” Mary of Magdala said, “and we don’t know where they have put him.” On the first Easter morning there was a sense of excitement among the disciples but it was mixed with anxiety and fear. They didn’t know what was happening but they knew that something was. As we celebrate our Easter we can know exactly what has happened. However we can be so familiar with this wonderful truth that we may have little if any excitement about it. It was not the soldiers who took the body of Jesus from the tomb but rather the power of God. And where God has put Jesus is into our hearts, our minds, our company with one another, above us, below us, all around us. The deepest reality of our lives has been changed forever by what happened today and Jesus is risen and living among us in our homes and in our faith community. We need to attend to him there.



Easter Sunday, 4th April 2010

The Resurrection of the Lord

First Reading : Acts of the Apostles 10: 34, 37-43
We have eaten and drunk with him after his resurrection.

Second Reading: Colossians 3: 1-4
You must look for things that are in heaven, where Christ is.

Gospel: John 20: 1-9
Till this moment they had failed to understand the teaching of scripture,
that he must rise from the dead.
