Why Do You Look for the Living Among the Dead
Last week I woke up in the middle of the night with Jesus’ words to the women who came to His tomb after the crucifixion. On the first day of the week at early dawn, the women went to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared to finish anointing the body. And they […]
