On the third day he rose again.”

Tell us, Mary, what did you see

that early morning

on your way?

“I saw his tomb,

I saw the glory of Christ,

now risen,

angels who gave witness.

I saw the cloths

that covered his head and body.

I heard him speak my name

and turning, saw he was alive

At daybreak

I came weeping to the garden

for the one I lost.

But now, the Sun risen,

it was paradise,

and I, a new Eve,

had news of life for all the living.”
