"In the quiet of the morning, with no witnesses, Our Lord stirred in the tomb. As if awakening from slumber, stretching and rising as if from sleep, Divine Love proved once and for all that it was stronger than death (Sg 8:6).
"Scripture tells us, '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' (Jn 20:1). It was a new day.
"This day, a full week past the Lord's triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, brings with it new light, new life. . . ."
In a
recent commentary, Father Patrick Briscoe, O.P.,
