JOHN 20:1-9 [LINKS ADDED]

On the first day of the week,
Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning,
while it was still dark,
and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
So she ran and went to Simon Peter
and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them,
"They have taken the Lord from the tomb,
and we don't know where they put Him."
So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.
They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter
and arrived at the tomb first;
he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.
When Simon Peter arrived after him,
he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there,
not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
Then the other disciple also went in,
the one who had arrived at the tomb first,
and he saw and believed.
For they did not yet understand the Scripture
that He had to rise from the dead.

  • "In 2026, the Catholic bishops of the US have been preoccupied with the issue of immigration....the issue now commands headlines, and our bishops are giving the matter special attention. Meanwhile the slaughter of the unborn continues, but does not generate headlines. Our bishops dutifully issue statements condemning the practice, but....the sense of urgency is lacking....the proportion of Catholics who attend Mass and marry in the Church and baptize their children continues to decline; young Catholics are still leaving the church in droves.... Sometimes the issues that seem most urgent are not most important" (Phil Lawler, 3/5/26)

"I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingly power: proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching.  For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths"
