“And she saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.”
Reflection for Today
Today's Catholic verse of the day is John 20:12: “And she saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.”
Scripture rarely flatters us. It loves us enough to tell the truth, and then it stays with us while we learn to live that truth. The Church treasures John because the Gospel is the face of Christ in human language, meant to be heard with faith.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of John 20:12 remain. Pray a decade of the Rosary with this verse in mind. Ask Mary to teach you how to keep God's word and ponder it, as she did.
Prayer
Come, Holy Spirit. Open the Scriptures to me as You opened them to the apostles. In John 20:12 I hear, “And she saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet,…” Give me understanding, give me desire, and give me the grace to obey with joy. Amen.
