In this Commentary Clip, Tony explores how St. John the Evangelist invites us to place ourselves in his shoes in his account of Easter morning, and follow Peter into the empty tomb to witness it as a powerful sign of the foundational tenet of Christianity, the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. And, having become witnesses of the Resurrection, we are sent out to proclaim God’s salvation offered to us through the Incarnate Son’s Paschal Mystery.
