John 20:1–9
Early on the first day of the week, while it was
still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been
removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other
disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord
out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” Then Peter and
the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. The two were running
together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He
bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go
in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the
linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus' head, not
lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the
other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and
believed; for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise
from the dead.
Reflection
Do I believe that I am
also risen with Jesus?
In my prayer, I identify
with which of the three persons in the Gospel, Mary Magdalene, Peter, and the other disciple? Call I share with him/her about what I feel
at present?
