Today’s Gospel

In Fear, Yet With Great Joy, The Women Left The Tomb And Ran To Tell The News To His Disciples.

Suddenly, Jesus Met Them On The Way And Said, “Rejoice!” The Women Approached Him, Embraced His Feet And Worshiped Him. But Jesus Said To Them, “Do Not Be Afraid! Go And Tell My Brothers To Set Out For Galilee; There, They Will See Me.”

As The Women Proceeded On Their Way, Some Of The Guards Went Into The City, And Reported To The Chief Priests All That Had Happened. The Chief Priests Met With The Elders, And Decided To Give The Soldiers A Large Sum Of Money, With This Order, “Say That His Disciples Came By Night While You Were Asleep, And Stole The Body Of Jesus. If Pilate Comes To Know Of This, We Will Explain The Situation And Keep You Out Of Trouble.” The Soldiers Accepted The Money And Did As They Were Told. This Story Has Circulated Among The Jews Until This Day.

Today’s Reflection

The Soldiers Accepted The Money And Did As They Were Told. The Chief Priests And The Elders Bribed The Soldiers To Say That His Disciples Came By Night While You Were Asleep, And Stole The Body Of Jesus. They Wanted To Hide And Distort The Truth, But Truth In God Remains Absolute. It Cannot Be Twisted To Suit One’s Intentions And Desires. So, The Lord Himself Revealed Himself To The Women Disciples And Exhorted Them To Rejoice. We See Therefore Two Groups Of People: A Group Of Men Who Wanted To Cover Up The Truth To Save Face, And A Group Of Women Who Were Told To Proclaim The Joyful News Of The Resurrection To The Apostles! This Easter Season, Let Us Imitate The Courage Of The Women Disciples Who First Announced The Joyful News Of New Life In Christ.
