Domingo de Resurrección, Año C

Domingo, 17 de abril del 2022

Evangelio de Juan 20,1-9

ES https://bible.usccb.org/es/bible/lecturas/041722.cfm

1 The tomb of Jesus

In the Gospel for Resurrection Sunday, the word “mnēmeion,” meaning tomb, sepulchre, appears as many as six times. It refers to the empty tomb of Jesus.

2 Key words

He saw and believed

John the apostle went inside the tomb and believed. He believed that Jesus had risen from the dead. We too can go inside the empty tomb of Jesus in Jerusalem today. We can also see it in pictures and videos. It is the same place, secured and enclosed with a special chapel called Aedicula.

The first time the phrase “they saw and believed” is used in the Gospel in reference to Jesus’ disciples at the wedding in Cana, after Jesus’ first miracle of turning water into wine.

Jesus’ greatest miracle is his Resurrection.

3 Today

Many people make pilgrimages to Jerusalem and visit the empty tomb of Jesus. We can also see it in pictures. It is a witness for us that Jesus has risen from the dead. Looking at Jesus’ empty tomb, do I believe that the tomb is not a person’s ultimate destiny? Do I believe that Jesus wants to give me the fullness of life that does not end?
