Gospel of 4th April 2021 - John 20:1-9

It was very early on the first day of the week and still dark, when Mary of Magdala came to the tomb. She saw that the stone had been moved away from the tomb and came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved. 'They have taken the Lord out of the tomb' she said 'and we don't know where they have put him.'

So Peter set out with the other disciple to go to the tomb. They ran together, but the other disciple, running faster than Peter, reached the tomb first; he bent down and saw the linen cloths lying on the ground, but did not go in. Simon Peter who was following now came up, went right into the tomb, saw the linen cloths on the ground, and also the cloth that had been over his head; this was not with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in; he saw and he believed. Till this moment they had failed to understand the teaching of scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

An Easter prayer for the World
Happy Easter to all of you.

May Christ's empty tomb remind us that no matter how hard things may seem, especially during these Covid times, hope of a new day is always on the horizon.

May the spirit of Easter fill our hearts with joy and fire for Our Lord.

Today is also a day to reflect on what Easter means for our world today. It is a day to see everyone regardless of race, creed, colour, political opinion as people who are worthy of God's selfless love... This Easter, God shows us again His sacrificial love by giving His only Son to die for us.

So in this video we pray for the whole world... through art. Enjoy,
