Easter Saturday
Gospel – Mark 16:9-15
“‘Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation”. Resurrection is not just a spectacle. It’s the beginning of the mission. It’s the beginning of the mission of the Church. Before the reality of resurrection, you can doubt, or you can believe. If you believe you have to pass to the next phase which is the mission to preach. The mission which arises from the encounter with the Risen Christ. This area of the mission is the entire world. And the object of mission is to proclaim the Good News. The subject of this mission is the entire creation. The entire world and the entire creation is before us who has encountered Jesus Risen to preach the Good News. The Good News is that the love of God is above all things. Nothing can be stronger than this love. This love is even stronger than death. That’s why this is the Good News because nothing can change it to bad news. Let’s reflect: Easter is recognizing the mission which evolves from our encounter with the Risen Christ.
