22 April 2025 – Tuesday in the Octave of Easter
Homily
Mary Magdalene, the one who had anointed Jesus' feet and kissed them tenderly, the one of whom Jesus said that wherever the Gospel was proclaimed, what she had done would be told in memory of her - this same Mary was the first to come to the tomb on the morning of the third day. We saw, in the Gospel passage read at Easter Day Mass, how she found the tomb empty and how she ran to inform Simon Peter and John. She was therefore the first among Jesus' disciples to announce the Resurrection.
