Gospel: John
20:1a, 2-8
On the
first day of the week, Mary Magdalene ran and went to Simon Peter and to the
other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, "They have taken the Lord
from the tomb, and we do not know where they put him." So Peter and the
other disciple went out and came to the tomb. They both ran, but the other
disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first; he bent down and
saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in. When Simon Peter arrived after
him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that
had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate
place. Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the
tomb first, and he saw and believed.

Reflection:
Do you
have sometimes this feeling that you look for God and you hunger for Him yet
you cannot find Him? Don’t give up for if you will not give up you will be able
to find Him. Yet if you want to easily
find God and make Him your friend and daily companion you have to do the
following:
1. Always
find time to be present in the celebration of the Holy Mass.
2. Have a
daily habit of prayer at least twice a day, preferably upon waking up in the
morning and before retiring at night.
3. Have a
daily habit of planned reading the Holy Bible: Start with the first four
gospels of the New Testament.
4.
Discover the beauty of praying the Holy Rosary.
5. Have
that hunger for the Sacrament of Holy Communion and Confession.
If you do
all of these God would always be by your side. In the gospel, Mary Magdalene,
Simon Peter and the other disciple went to the tomb of Jesus. Only to find out
that He was not there anymore for He had resurrected already.
