EASTER With joy lets enter the Tomb

Jn 20:1-9 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. She was the FIRST one to come to the sepulcre because she was a faithful disciple, and even though I was there, her eyes were not ready for my NEW LIFE.
2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." She went and told the CHURCH, not yet BORN to the EASTER gift.
3 So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. 4 Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. The Prophetic Church (John) ran faster, and seeing an empty tomb asked Hierarchy (Peter) to go in first.
6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, 7 and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. The smoothly folded linen was proving that My RESURRECTED Body had come through the cloth, leaving it intact... Can that be understood?
8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; The disciple I loved, BELIEVED in ME seeing it.
9 for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. My LIFE now is so different to human eyes that you will only perceive it through FAITH. But I tell you you that I am near, in the Sacraments and your Brothers and Sisters.
The Easter Mystery is eternal and temporal. It is mortal because of the tomb and immortal because of the New Life. The God-Sheperd became Grace and the Lamb became God. (Meliton from Sardis)
PRAYER Lord Jesus, You that have given us ETERNAL LIFE through your RESURRECTION, don not let us go on being the same. Make us able to prove, day after day, that we have received this EASTER GIFT.
