without our eyes being blinded. The narratives begin when, at dawn on the day
after the Saturday, the women went to the tomb and found it open and empty.
... Having received the announcement of the resurrection from the Angel they
ran, full of fear and
joy, to give the news to the disciples. At that very moment they met Jesus,
bowing before His feet and worshipping Him as He said: 'Do not be afraid, go
and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me'.
"All the Gospels dedicate a lot of space to the women in the narratives of
the apparitions of the Risen Jesus, just as they do in those of His passion
and death. In Israel at that time the testimony of women did not have official
juridical weight,
but women experienced a special bond with the Lord and this is fundamental for
the real life of the Christian community, in all times and ages, not just in
the early days of the Church".
The Pope concluded by recalling that the model for this relationship with
Jesus, especially in the Easter mystery, is Mary, Mother of the Lord. "Through
the transforming experience of her Son's passion, the Virgin Mary also became
Mother of the
Church; that is, of each believer and of the entire community".
