EASTER OCTAVE

Acts 2:14, 22-32; Psalm 16; Matthew 28:8-15

The news is spreading!

Jesus appears to the two women, Mary of Magdala and Mary, sister of Martha and Lazarus. They grasp his feet – he is alive! Jesus tells them not to be afraid but “Go and tell the disciples to go to Galilee where I will see them.” Meanwhile the guards and chief priests concoct a story to hide the truth. “Risen Jesus, strengthen my own faith, and help those who don’t believe.”
