Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ – simply the Easter Sunday.
This is the day the Lord has made, Let us be glad and rejoice in itâ€
Alleluia! He is risen as He said, Alleluia! This Easter Sunday is not an anniversary of that first Easter morning. Nor, is this Easter a memorial – a remembrance of that first Easter Sunday morning.
Today is Easter. Today is the Day the Lord has made. Today, He is Risen.
Pay attention sisters and brothers to those present tense words: Today is Easter – This is the Day - they need to be heard by us. We are not recalling what happened to Jesus, nor the events of the first Easter. We are not spectators watching the reactions of the three disciples – Mary Magdalene, Peter and John. Rather, this Easter Sunday is our sharing in the triumph and victory of God.

Reflections
1 Imagine that you standing in front of the empty tomb and looking in, what does the tomb look like? Is it foul? What do you see?
2 Put yourself in Peter’s place: guilt-ridden by his betrayal of Jesus, dispirited by Jesus’ death, and, now, even the body was gone! Have you ever experienced moments when God is absent from your life?
3 The beloved disciples saw the folded linen cloths and believed.
Recall one specific sign that led you to believe in the Risen Lord.
