The other women with them also told the apostles, but this story of theirs seemed pure nonsense, and they did not believe them. Peter, however, went running to the tomb. He bent down and saw the binding cloths but nothing else; he then went back home, amazed at what had happened.
Lk.24:11,12
The women have just found Jesus' tomb empty and two angels have told them not to look among the dead for someone who is alive. Their story is unbelievable, yet Peter had to run and see for himself. The incredible fact of Jesus' resurrection starts to dawn on him.
The unbelievable fact led all of the apostles, except John, to martyrs deaths. Once they realised the truth they could never let it go. Good news is like that. At first it sounds too good to be true. Then, once it is accepted as true, its power is released and changes everything.
I step into this Holy Saturday with mounting joy. The Good news of Easter is about to be released. It changes everything.
Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus come.
Saint Philip Neri, please pray for me.
