A Sunday Gospel Reflections April 12th. – Easter Sunday John 20:1-9 Gospel Summary On Friday afternoon when Jesus died, the women had not been able to finish the customary preparation for burial. The Sabbath began at sundown on Friday, so Mary of Magdala hurried to the tomb Sunday morning to complete her task. She found the tomb empty. Certain that Jesus' body had been stolen, she ran back to get the other disci-ples. Peter and the other disciple also found an empty tomb but with Jesus' clothing rolled neatly and placed where his body had been. The disciples still didn't under-stand about the resurrection and Mary wept. As she cried, two angels appeared asking why she was crying. She then saw a gardener and asked him where the body might be. When he called her by name, Mary immediately recog-nized Jesus. Reflection for Families Most parents have discovered by now that things aren't always as they seem. A poured out bottle of laundry deter-gent wasn't really mischievous behavior, but rather an at-tempt to surprise you with a generous gift of service. Or secret whispers are not an attempt to hide some wrongdo-ing but rather an effort to plan a surprise for you. Things weren't as they seemed to Mary Magdalene either that first Easter morning. Our errors in perception often work to remind us that God's plan is not always obvious, but that we are challenged to trust in the promise of the resurrec-tion. Bringing the Gospel Into Your Family Place symbols of Easter such as lighted candles, eggs, and lilies at your dinner table today. Ask some "wondering" questions about how these items might have become sym-bols for Easter. What do they suggest to us about the Gos-pel story we read today? How can we be symbols of the Easter message to each other and those outside our fami-ly? Discussion Starters 1. The symbol that means the most to me at Easter (and why) is . . . 2. Mary Magdalene recognized Jesus' voice when he called her name. One time I know Jesus called my name when . . .

During this Lenten Season I hope we have spent time imploring the Lord to reveal to us the knots in our lives and through the intercession of His Blessed Mother and by His amazing grace to assist us in untying those knots. The good news of Easter is that by His cross and resurrection He has set us free. While we may still, through human weakness, continue to tie those knots, God’s grace will always be there to untie them. We just need to seek that grace. So as we celebrate Easter I would ask you to untie those knots in your string and celebrate God’s merciful love!
