Station II: Mary Magdalene finds the empty tomb

Biblical Stations of the Resurrection

Let us walk this pilgrimage of faith as daughters and sons of the light and as witnesses of the Risen Lord.

Let us meditate upon the resurrection of Christ and discover the pathway of light that Christ blazes through our lives.

Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.”

John 20:1-2 ESVUK

Prayer

Lord Jesus.
May we not be too involved in our expectations that we are closed to anything else.
May we not be so hasty that we miss seeing you.

Conclusion

We have shared our pilgrim journey with the Risen Lord. As servants and witnesses of Christ, let us now pray in the way our Saviour taught us:

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever.

Amen.

Lord, may everything we do, begin with Your inspiration, continue with Your help, and reach perfection under Your guidance. We ask this through Christ, our Risen Lord. Amen.
