They found the stone rolled back from the tomb; but when they O entered the tomb, they did not find the body of the Lord . While they were still at a loss over what to think of this, two men in dazzling garments stood beside them. Terrified, the women bowed to the ground. The men said to them: “Why do you search for the Living One among the dead? He is not here; he has been raised up. Remember what he said to you while he was still in Galilee—that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.” With this reminder, his words came back to them. — Luke 24:1-8

By Fr. Richard Rice, S.J.

For the disciples in the Upper Room, Mary Magdalene does exactly what a witness does in a courtroom, namely, testifies to her personal knowledge, which in this case, was of the Resurrection. “I have seen the Lord,” she said (Jn 20:18). Today, witnessing for Jesus is everywhere. From foot- ball players pointing heavenward to adolescents with their W.W.J.D. (“What Would Jesus Do?”) bracelets, from CNS photo courtesy Campaign Catholic Communications adults with expensive gold crosses on necklaces to people evangelizing house-to-house, it seems that most everyone either is witnessing or receiving witnesses. What is a witness? What kind of witnessing is truly graced and beneficial? As I read and pray with the Easter Scriptures, I keep realizing that the criteria for witnessing are the same now as they were for Mary Magdalene and for the two disci- ples journeying to Emmaus. First, one can only genuinely witness to what one has known personally. All witnessing was summarized by the two now running back to the disciples: “They told what had happened on the road [to Emmaus], and how [the Lord] had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread” (Lk 24:35). Second, there is always a note of reversal of expecta- tions for the one who becomes a witness. We expect the dead to stay dead. No one recognizes the risen Jesus at first because no one fully believes in resurrection—until This detail of “Jesus the Pantocrator” is from St. Catherine’s Monastery in Sinai, Egypt. It is featured in “The Face: Jesus in Art,” released in he stands in our midst and cooks our breakfast or reveals April for broadcast on public television stations nationwide as a witness to the Christian faith.

esus died. His soul left his body, as the J souls of all humans do when they die. It entered eternity, where there is no time, only an eternal now. It’s hard, though, for humans to tell a story with- out referring to time. We use words like “before” and “after” and various other words that really don’t make sense in eternity. But bear with me. After Jesus’ death but before he could return to his Father in heaven, Jesus’ soul had another mission to accomplish. First he descended into hell—to the netherworld where he found all the souls of those who had died since Adam’s sin had closed the gates of heaven. This had happened thousands of years before, but, of course, since they were in eternity, the souls had no sense that it had been a long time. Jesus’ soul looked up Adam’s soul first. “Good news, Adam,” he said. “As the Son of God, I have atoned for your dis- obedience. You and all your descendants can now enter heaven. Unless, of course, they have deliberately turned against God and, through their own choice, excluded themselves from heaven.” “Thank you, Lord,” Adam’s soul replied. “I realize, of course, that only you could have redeemed humanity because only you are both divine and human. Are you now going to lead us all into heaven?” “No,” Jesus’ soul replied. “I still have some unfinished business on earth. Although I have followed my Father’s will and carried out the plan we con- ceived from all eternity—even enduring the inhumane death of crucifixion—I’m not yet ready to ascend to heaven. I have to go back and rejoin my body. Otherwise, my message on earth will be considered a failure. Before my death I told my apostles that I would rise from the dead, and I must do that. Already they are behaving as though my death was the end of everything.” And so it was that Jesus’ soul returned to his body in the tomb and he reentered our world of time. However, the body he reentered wasn’t exactly the same as the body that was buried. It still had the marks of his crucifixion—the holes in his hands, feet and side—but it was different. It was now a spiritual body that could appear and disappear, and could enter a See EASTER, page 18

Sometimes they got tired along the way, but going to Grandma’s for Easter was what Lucas called the best times of their lives. Grandma insisted that they get there on Wednesday of Holy Week so they could all celebrate the Triduum: Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. They had heard the story of those three days so often that they could tell it to their grandmother, which she loved. But she teased them about their shortened version of what the days were about.

Only in recent years have I come back and begun to attend liturgy here. I love the sisters. They are the most loving, lovable women—so life-giving. I really believe I see the face of God in this community, and I consider it a privilege to serve on the council.” Father Bede often celebrates eucharistic liturgies with the sisters. “I’m amazed by the number of people who come here for liturgies,” he said. “The sisters are involved in the community in their own way. The flow of people’s prayer requests to them is one expression of that. They keep up with the events of the world, and are very much in tune with that. I think the challenge is how to help them make their presence more evident, more well- known, to younger people. It’s important to draw people to the spirituality that is here.” Council member Paul Knapp, president of Young & Laramore Advertising in Indianapolis, said the opportu- nity to use his expertise in advertising to help promote the sisters’ countercultural lifestyle is intriguing. “The most intriguing thing to me was the notion of historically cloistered nuns wanting to reach out through this advisory council to the world in a real palpable way,” Knapp said. “When I met them, what struck me This Ad Is the most was their intelligence and worldliness. They are extremely well-educated.

Especially in this time, so many people—women Shirley Brothers and men—in that age group—30s and 40s—are striving for more meaning in life. Maybe they’ve had great suc- 1090 cess in different walks of life, but it’s not enough. They’re striving for more.
