Gospel reflection for Easter Sunday

Our journey toward Easter has come to an end. Jesus has conquered sin and death. What is next?

In this final video reflection in our Lenten series, Br. Lalo Jara, OFM, encourages us to recall the message of the angels to Mary Magdalene as she wept at the empty tomb: “He is risen!” Let us remember that Jesus made us participants in his resurrection and strive to be people of hope now and always.

Many thanks for subscribing and praying with us during Lent. Happy Easter!

Gospel for Easter Sunday 2025: John 20 1:9

On the first day of the week,
Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning,
while it was still dark,
and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
So she 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 don’t 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.
For they did not yet understand the Scripture
that he had to rise from the dead.
