Christ is Risen!
Last Sunday we celebrated the Sunday of the Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women, who, before the dawn, courageously and steadfastly visited the tomb of our Lord – and were greeted by a Shining Angel with the Glad Tidings, …He is not here: for He is risen! Come and see where the Lord lay. ~ St. Matthew 28:6
How valiant and brave those amazing women were!
What noble, saintly souls!
What Great Love and Faith blazed brightly in their hearts!
…To quietly travel through the dangerous dark before the dawn …carrying their supplies of myrrh, aloe, and spices to finish anointing His Body, as was the custom …wondering how to even get into the tomb – with that giant rock guarding its doorway?!
Their Good Intentions combined with their Actions of Faith, Transformed that scene from dismal darkness into Light.
They were counted worthy to witness the Glorious Dawn of His Resurrection! They conversed with an Angel, and beheld an empty, humble tomb of stone become a Most Holy Place!
