Gospel
Mark 16:9-15
Go out to the whole world and proclaim the Good News
Having risen in the morning on the first day of the week, Jesus appeared first to Mary of Magdala from whom he had cast out seven devils. She then went to those who had been his companions, and who were mourning and in tears, and told them. But they did not believe her when they heard her say that he was alive and that she had seen him.
After this, he showed himself under another form to two of them as they were on their way into the country. These went back and told the others, who did not believe them either.
Lastly, he showed himself to the Eleven themselves while they were at table. He reproached them for their incredulity and obstinacy, because they had refused to believe those who had seen him after he had risen. And he said to them, ‘Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation.’
Reflection
Today we read a summary of the appearance of Christ. What is significant of this summary. Christ physical appearance is the same with the wounds from the passion but now he is an immortal. He is God. The second significance is he died to take our sin . He lives to give us a new life and a pathway to heaven.Do you believe in the resurrection?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus after the resurrection you appeared to remind us you have not abandoned us. May we value this reminder by being a faithful disciple.
Amen
