Empty Tombs

Alleluia! He is risen! But wait a minute…Where are the angels to announce his Resurrection…Where is the dazzling white light to punctuate the miracle? Matthew, Mark and Luke, all give us lights and angels. But John only gives us an empty tomb. This year have we journeyed through Lent and witnessed the Passion only to find emptiness? Look again. This is a void that speaks volumes. It is an emptiness that promises an eternity of fulfillment, a silence that trumpets: He is truly risen.
