00:00At the first golden light of dawn on Sunday, Mary Magdalene and the holy women approached
00:04the garden tomb. They wondered anxiously who would roll away the massive stone sealing the
00:09entrance of the quiet rock sepulcher. Suddenly the earth shook violently as a radiant angel
00:14of the Lord descended from heaven in dazzling white light. The angel rolled back the heavy
00:19stone and sat upon it, his garments shining brilliant white like snow. Speaking gently
00:24to the trembling women, the angel said, Do not be afraid, I know you seek Jesus. Why
00:30do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, for he has truly risen. Looking
00:35inside the empty stone tomb, they saw the linen burial cloths lying neatly where the Lord had
00:40lain. Weeping outside in the garden, Mary Magdalene turned and heard a gentle voice calling her
00:45by name. Mary! Recognizing her risen master standing in radiant glory, she cried out in
00:51overflowing joy. Rabboni, my teacher and Lord. Christ has conquered death forever. Let
00:56his glorious resurrection fill your heart with unshakable hope and eternal peace.
