Scenes from Easter Sunrise Mass

Posted on April 4, 2021 by Published by

125 Our Lady of the Wayside early risers celebrated the 6:00 am Easter Sunrise Mass in our Church.  Father Arthur Marat celebrated and Deacon Peter LeTourneau assisted. A truly joyous occasion.

This is the day the Lord has made.  Let us rejoice and be glad!

 

On the first day of the week,
Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning,
while it was still dark, 
and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
So she ran and went to Simon Peter 
and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, 
“They have taken the Lord from the tomb, 
and we don’t know where they put him.”
So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.
They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter 
and arrived at the tomb first; 
he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.
When Simon Peter arrived after him, 
he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, 
and the cloth that had covered his head, 
not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
Then the other disciple also went in, 
the one who had arrived at the tomb first, 
and he saw and believed.
For they did not yet understand the Scripture 
that he had to rise from the dead.

~Jn 20:1-9
