This reflection focuses on the events described in Gospel of Matthew 28:8-15. It explores the reactions of different characters, including the women, guards, and chief priests.
The women are excited to share the news of Jesus' resurrection, while the guards are fearful and spread a lie to save themselves. The chief priests create a plan to hide the truth and protect their reputation.
This reflection prompts us to consider our own roles in sharing good news, rationalizing wrong behavior, and refusing the truth, highlighting the interesting contrast in choices made by the different characters in the Gospel.
