Gospel for today: John 20:1-9
Gospel for today according to Saint John
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.

In John 20:1-9, we witness Mary Magdalene's remarkable encounter with the empty tomb of Jesus. As she approaches the tomb, early on the first day of the week, the darkness of despair is pierced by the light of hope. Maryfinds the stone rolled away and hastens to inform Simon Peter and the disciple whom Jesus loved. Their urgent race to the tomb reflects the desire to seek and understand the miraculous events unfolding before them. When Peter arrives, he is met with the sight of burial cloths that once encased Jesus. This moment is pivotal; it signifies not merely a physical absence but conveys deeper spiritual truths. The cloths, neatly rolled, suggest intention and purpose, echoing the promise that Jesus spoke before His crucifixion—that death would not be the end. Despite this profound event, the disciples are initially bewildered. They do not yet fully grasp the scriptural significance of Jesus' resurrection. This underscores a universal struggle in faith: understanding the divine amidst confusion and uncertainty. It invites believers to acknowledge that even in moments of doubt, they are encouraged to seek answers and explore their faith. The passages prompt reflections on themes such as endurance in faith and the transformative power of belief. The resurrection becomes an invitation to all, encouraging a response of trust and conviction. Mary’s journey from despair to discovery exemplifies the calling for every believer to move towards understanding their faith more fully. In these verses, readers are reminded that while the journey to understanding can be challenging, it is through deeply seeking that one finds the light of truth. As the season of Lent progresses, let us embrace the message of John 20:1-9, allowing it to deepen our faith and inspire our actions to spread the Good News. Remember, like Mary, we are invited to come and see what God has prepared for us.
