According to the Gospel, Mary of Magdala arrived
at the empty tomb first. Prompted by Mary, Peter
and John arrived next and viewed the burial
wrappings. Scripture tells us of St. John, “… he
saw and believed.” This is the same John, the
beloved disciple, positioned at Jesus’ side at the
Last Supper, who stood at the foot of the cross,
and, according to the Gospel, was one of the first
to believe in the risen Christ. Like John, may the
gift of Easter grace strengthen our faith and deepen
our discipleship in the Lord so that we may
proclaim, “Christ is risen. Alleluia!”
