Easter! Victory of Christ over sin and death, victory over Satan and darkness, victory over the grave. The tomb is now empty, the Lord is resurrected, he is no longer there. The angel was adamant, addressing the women who had come to visit the tomb early in the morning, that it is foolish to seek the living among the dead. The first thing to do is to overcome fear, because fear prevents us from moving forward, fear encloses us, fear makes us doubt.

Then, let us not get lost along the way: Christ is risen, He has left the world of the dead, so there is no longer any reason for a Christian to resort to divination, spiritism and other necromancy... The women who came to the tomb were given a mission: "Go and tell his disciples: He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him". The women are the first ones sent to proclaim the resurrection of the Lord. Women therefore have their place in the Church. Jesus, little by little, changed the consideration one might have of women. But now, it is no longer up to women alone to proclaim the resurrection, it is up to all of us, by words and deeds, to bear witness to the resurrection of the Lord.
