We are presently living in time when we are sheltering in our homes and wondering what is next.  We are afraid of so many things.  The disciples’ fears went away when Jesus appeared to them and said, “Peace with you.”  We too must seek Jesus during these times to calm us and take away our fears.

Spend time reflecting on a moment when you stepped out of the tomb of death and into the womb of life. 2. Read and meditate on John 20:10-18 Mary, weeping at the tomb, is experiencing the terrible darkness of the death of Jesus.  She has not yet ...
