Jn 20:1-2, 11-18

Without entering the tomb from which the stone has been moved, Mary panics and runs to tell the others that Jesus’ body has been taken. Though a faithful disciple, she does not fully believe in all that Jesus had said. It is not until her encounter with Jesus in the garden and his calling her by name that she recognizes his voice and believes.
