The Second Station of the Resurrection: The Disciples Discover the Empty Tomb

All: We adore You, O Christ
and we praise You!
Because by the Wood of the Cross and
the Light of the Resurrection,
You have redeemed the world!
 
Reading:  "Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed"
(John 20: 8).

Listen to the reflection below from Greg Marsh, Echoes of Faith leader and Confirmation catechist.

Prayer:  God our Father, creator of all, today is the day of overwhelming joy.  The Lord appeared to those who had begun to lose hope and opened their eyes to what the Scriptures foretold: that first He must die and then rise.  May the Risen Lord breathe on our minds and open our eyes that we may know Him in the breaking of bread, and follow Him in His risen life.  Grant this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
​
All:  Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
The dear belov'd apostle John
Could faster than St. Peter run,
Arriving first before the tomb.  Alleluia
