Readings highlight the triumphant
Resurrection and human response to it. Women encountered the risen Jesus with
"joy," contrasting the religious leaders' attempt to suppress the
truth through bribery and lies. Peter boldly proclaimed Jesus’ victory over
death was the fulfillment of Davidic prophecy. Thus, Readings challenge us to
stand as witnesses to outpouring of Holy Spirit and living Christ. Happy
Easter, Halleluiah !!
The resurrection is God's victorious act, witnessed first by faithful women who joyfully proclaim it, and boldly preached by Peter as fulfillment of Scripture, empowering the Church through the Spirit—despite human opposition and cover-up lies. It calls us to fearless witness.
