<p class="subtitle_brown"><em>From the gospel of John (John 20, 11.14-16)</em></p>

<p class="quote">Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not recognize that it was Jesus. &ldquo;Woman, why are you weeping?&rdquo;&nbsp;Jesus asked her.&nbsp;&ldquo;Who are you looking for?&rdquo; Thinking he was the gardener, she said, &ldquo;Sir, if you have carried him off, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him&rdquo;. Jesus said to her,&nbsp;&ldquo;Mary.&rdquo; She turned and said to Him in Aramaic, &ldquo;<em>Rabbuni</em>!&rdquo; - That means &laquo;Teacher! &raquo;.</p>

<p class="subtitle_brown"><em>Meditation</em></p>

<p class="normal_text">Lord Jesus, the silence of the <em>last </em>day was torn by the light of the <em>first and new</em> day: you overcame death and you live, in a shining glory, as first fruits of a new creation. You live forever, opening to each men and women the doors of that new and definitive life that death will no longer suffocate. In the unmistakable and personal calling, in the affective and loving proximity, in the fraction of the bread you are recognized and known <em>again</em>. Behold you making new all things and invite me to enter in that dynamic of new, beauty and plainness, as beloved son of you Father and our Father. As Thomas, nevertheless all the difficulties, I believe: and I also can say: my Lord and my God.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>V.</strong> Glory be&nbsp;to the&nbsp;Father&nbsp;and to the&nbsp;Son&nbsp;and to&nbsp;the Holy Spirit,<br />
<strong>R.</strong> As&nbsp;it&nbsp;was&nbsp;in the beginning, is&nbsp;now and ever&nbsp;shall&nbsp;be, Amen.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p class="subtitle_brown"><em>Conclusion</em></p>

<p class="normal_text"><strong>V. </strong>May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil and bring us to everlasting life.<br />
<strong>R. </strong>Amen.</p>
