What is the Question of the Week?
It is an opportunity for the parish community to begin to engage in a conversation around the Word. The question of the week is available for everyone. Breaking open the word calls us first to prayer. It invites us to spend time reflecting on the word with others or by yourself. We hope that you take a moment once a week and spend time reflecting on the word and seeing how the word has a place in your own life, work, family, household and context.
Call to Prayer
We begin in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Word of God
Jn 20:1-9
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.The Gospel of the Lord All: praise to you Lord Jesus Christ
Key Passage: When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be
revealed with him in glory. (Colossians 3:4)
