GOSPEL READING: JOHN 20:11-18
Mary is in the same situation like all the disciples. Empty tomb, though a sign of resurrection later, now gave them fear and worry. They too like others thought that someone has taken the body of Jesus away from the tomb. Even when Jesus appeared to her she could not but think that he was a gardener. She talked to him as he would talk to a gardener.
When Jesus called her by name (personal) she recognized the Lord. Jesus had to make them realize that he had risen from the dead through personal encounter. Personal experience of Jesus was to proclaim his resurrection to all the disciples. Jesus did not tell her to announce to the public. First she had to inform the disciples and then later the disciples will announce to the public on Pentecost.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: யோவான் 20:11-18
எல்லா சீடர்களும் கல்லறை வெறுமையாயிருப்பதைக்கண்டு பயந்தனர் கவலைப்பட்டனர். மரியாவும் அதேபோல்தான். இயேசு அவளுடைய பெயரை உச்சரித்த உடனே உயிர்த்த இயேசுவை உணர்ந்து கொள்கிறாள் அறிந்து கொள்கிறாள். மற்ற சீடர்களுக்கு அறிவிக்க அழைக்கப்படுகிறாள். உயிர்ப்பு அனுபவம் பகிர்ந்து கொள்ளவே.
