The great sign the Gospel gives us today is that Jesus' tomb is empty. We have to look no more among the dead for he has risen. In a wonderful encounter in faith, his disciples will later on see him alive The Gospel says that "the other disciple" "saw and believed" (Jn 20:8). The "seeing and believing" of the disciples must also be our aim. We renew our paschal faith, that Christ is our Lord in everything we do. Let his life revitalize ours and let us renew the grace of our baptism. Let us become his apostles and disciples and, guided by his love, be hopeful witnesses of his Resurrection.
Let us live this Easter in the fullness of joy. Christ has risen: so let us celebrate Easter full of joy and love. Death, sin and sadness have today been defeated by Jesus Christ... and He has opened the doors to a new life, the real life, life we owe to the grace of the Holy Spirit. Nobody should be sad. Christ is our Peace and our Path forever and ever.
Lord, give me the grace to renew myself in the joy of Easter.
