Mark 16: 1-7 - 'Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified, has risen.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

-641 (in 'The Appearances of the Risen One') - Mary Magdalene and the holy women who came to finish anointing the body of Jesus, which had been buried in haste because the Sabbath began on the evening of Good Friday, were the first to encounter the Risen One. Thus the women were the first messengers of Christ's Resurrection for the apostles themselves (abbreviated).

- 2174 (in 'The Day of the Resurrection: the new creation') - Jesus rose from the dead "on the first day of the week." Because it is the "first day," the day of Christ's Resurrection recalls the first creation. Because it is the "eighth day" following the sabbath, it symbolizes the new creation ushered in by Christ's Resurrection. For Christians it has become the first of all days, the first of all feasts, the Lord's Day (he kuriake hemera,dies dominica) Sunday: We all gather on the day of the sun, for it is the first day [after the Jewish sabbath, but also the first day] when God, separating matter from darkness, made the world; and on this same day Jesus Christ our Savior rose from the dead."

- 333 (in 'Christ with all his angels') - Again, it is the angels who "evangelize" by proclaiming the Good News of Christ's Incarnation and Resurrection (abbreviated).

- 652 (in 'The Meaning and Saving Significance of the Resurrection') - Christ's Resurrection is the fulfilment of the promises both of the Old Testament and of Jesus himself during his earthly life. The phrase "in accordance with the Scriptures" indicates that Christ's Resurrection fulfilled these predictions.

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back again to the Daily Gospel Exegesis podcast. As always, we're going to
0:16.8	dive into the text of today's gospel and we're going to have a go at doing a verse by verse
0:21.3	exegesis of the literal sense of scripture. What did it mean in its original context
0:26.7	and really trying to do a study of the text itself? So the first thing to say for today's
0:32.7	episode is that today there is actually no mass. For Holy Saturday, there is no mass that falls within the normal daytime hours.
0:41.3	So there is no mass during the day.
0:43.5	But there is a vigil tonight.
0:45.7	On Holy Saturday evening, there is the Easter vigil.
0:48.4	So this is the reading for the evening vigil mass today.
0:53.0	And the gospel reading we're going to look at here
0:54.8	is actually different for the daytime mass tomorrow.
0:58.4	So let's look at the reading for the evening vigil mass tonight.
1:02.3	So today's reading is Mark chapter 16 verses 1 to 7.
1:08.0	When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdalar, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices with which to go and anoint him.
1:18.4	And very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they went to the tomb just as the sun was rising.
1:25.9	They had been saying to one another,
1:28.5	who will roll away the stone for us
1:30.7	from the entrance to the tomb?
1:33.4	But when they looked, they could see
1:35.1	that the stone, which was very big,
1:37.5	had already been rolled back.
1:39.9	On entering the tomb, they saw a young man in a white robe
