“A light that says, amidst our darkest anxieties, there is refuge and comfort: Jesus the light of faith. “The silence of the tomb echoes the impact of God’s engagement with us. Catholic archbishop of Sydney Anthony Fisher said people had been through dark times in Australia and around the world. “Good Friday reminds us that Jesus stepped into the muck of our world and experienced the worst of it so that he could secure that future for us.” But amid that ongoing uncertainty, the Easter message brings a message of hope. “We cry out to God for justice and peace and ask, has God forsaken us?

It is a reminder to us that something far greater than an empty tomb or burial clothes is given to us to help us see and know God’s love: the Sacraments of the Church and the life of the Church. As we come to Church and enter, through the Sacraments, into the life of Christ, may we truly see and live the new life of Jesus Christ. It was at the empty tomb where Mary and Peter came to understand the conquering love of God. It is a reminder to us of how we too, having just commemorated on Good Friday Jesus death on the cross, are called to look and see God’s transforming and unconditional love of Jesus risen to new life. We hear how Peter and the disciple whom Jesus loved, upon hearing Mary’s report of an empty tomb, in turn ran to the tomb. It is the darkness of innocent people being killed as nations wage war on other nations, of women and children being exploited, of laws promoting suicide being passed or innocent lives of the unborn being taken. It is the darkness of sorrow and suffering, of anxiety and fear. I invite you to reflect upon three details contained in John’s Gospel account of the first Easter: darkness, looking and running.
