April 20 th, 2025 (Easter Sunday C)
Dear brothers and sisters, Christ is risen! He is truly Risen!
The event of the resurrection is here, in front of us today. The tomb is empty. The big stone that covered Christ has been removed. Mary Magdalen is the first one to see, then she tells Peter and John. Today let us run together with the Apostles Peter and John to verify that the tomb is truly empty. Christ and the Church call us on this solemn day to believe in the resurrection. Our sins like the big stone have been completely removed and forgiven by the resurrection of Christ. We are called like Mary Magdalene and the Apostles to see and to believe. Christ wants all of us to experience his resurrection in our life. Confronted with our daily deaths and sins Christ shows us today that the tomb is empty, and that death is no longer there. Christ has defeated death and has forgiven all our sins he is resurrected and alive and wants to appear to us like for the disciples in Galilee. We are called to believe today, that despite our sins no matter how big or how many, that through them we have killed Christ and placed him in a tomb, Christ is alive! Here it is not there. He is risen and he precedes us into Galilee there we shall see him! In our life, in our tomb, Christ is risen for us today!
