Mary of Magdala went and reported the news to his followers, but they would not believe

Gospel text (Mark 16,9-15): After Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary of Magdala from whom He had driven out seven demons. She went and reported the news to his followers, who were now mourning and weeping. But when they heard that He lived and had been seen by her, they would not believe it. After this He showed himself in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. These men too went back and told the others, but they did not believe them. Later Jesus showed himself to the Eleven while they were at table. He reproached them for their unbelief and stubbornness in refusing to believe those who had seen him after he had risen. Then he told them, «Go out to the whole world and proclaim the Good News to all creation».

Shame has tarnished the Order of Canada and us all

Today Canada wakes up to reality and in shame. Today, we can see with crude realism what the imposition of the culture of death, is able to achieve before the inaction of our leaders, of people that cry loud and clear
