Jn 20:1-18
In St. John's account, Mary Magdalene finds the empty tomb by herself, in the dark of the morning, presumably when she can see just enough to know that his body wasn't there. He specifies that she then ran to the apostles, telling Peter and John what she had seen. (I can't read this account without thinking of one of my favorite Easter songs, which might actually interfere with my own engagement of the senses later today; since this step is about the women, I'll likely focus more on Mary then, or maybe do a separate reflection on the men since we won't be revisiting this scripture later in this final phase.)
But for now, this is enough: Mary, alone, likely confused, determined to make haste to tell the others who have loved him what she has seen.
