Here we share a beautiful short Eastertide reflection from the Assumptions order in France which has been translated by our Chaplain, Sr Josephine Canny – herself an Assumptions.
Mary Magdalen ran. Peter ran. The other disciple ran. The stone rolled back from the empty tomb caused everyone to run. “We dont know where they have put Him.” The question is posed and the mystery remains. The gospels tell us nothing of the actual moment of Resurrection. They only report the experience of men and women who had followed Jesus, and had discovered that all did not finish at the cross and the tomb.
We cannot allow the Scriptures to be cast aside. Our own lives, re-read in the light of the Scriptures finds their meaning there.
