Ran.... Saw ... and believed!!!!!!!!!!!!




The message of today's Gospel announces the irresistible intervention of God within human history. Of course, the whole history of salvation speaks of God's saving interventions. But here it is a real rift that God works in the fabric of history: the linear path of history that makes living and dying is now broken: the man who is born he is no longer just a condemned man, but really a man called to life. In the first reading we see the desire and the goal: Is it to announce to you what we have seen and heard, so that you too may be in communion with us, and our communion is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ? . 

But all this has not already been communicated to us by the Gospel text? Yes, but now John wants to communicate to us what the Gospel Word has worked and given to him: life! The new life, the one that manifested itself ... the eternal life that was with the Father and that manifested itself to us? Simplifying, and trivializing, we say that John wants to communicate his experience of faith and of communion of love with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ ?.

Psalm 96 proclaims the Most High Lord, exalted in the exultation of the assembly of the elect. It gives the sense of praise to the righteous who, though afflicted, trust in the righteousness of God. We too can rejoice in the Lord, because he will do justice to our lives. In front of that empty tomb many can be feelings, like that famous rumor that lasts until today. We have the example of John, who had first come to the tomb ... He: "saw and believed!".
