Hla 3:1-4a; Salm: 62; Jn 20:1-2.11-18

Khrih ah dawtmi unau hna, nihin ah kan nunnak, kan harnak le kan thlarau chungin a thangmi biatak thukpi pakhat kha kan ruah ṭhan lai. Chunglei nih a mui bikmi zan a zulh timi biatak a si, lungdonghnak in kan tlau ko nain Pathian dawtnak ceunak cu a hung chuak timi biakamnak a si.

Cathiang kan zoh tikah, Hlabu ah langhtermi a fakmi saduhthahnak kha kan i cinken. Dal 3, caang 1 in 4 tiang ah, Monu aw kan theih, a dawtmi kha zan ah fakpiin a kawl. St. Bernard of Clairvaux nih hi duhnak hi dawh tein a langhter, zeicahtiah dawtnak mei cu muihnak ah a ceubik caah zan ah a kawl tiah a ti. Kanmah lakah zeizat dah kanmah zan cio ah a vakvai, thil pakhatkhat, asiloah mi pakhatkhat, a lawngmi kha khahter awkah kan kawl? Pumpak hneksaknak, kan hrampi a hninhmi thilnung rawhralnak asiloah kan minung sinak a hrawkmi minung sermi ngaihchiatnak hna kan tong men lai. Cu caan ahcun, kanmah lawng kan si, hlawtmi, asiloah a rawkmi hmanh kan si kho. Sihmanhsehlaw, hi caan hna ahhin Pathian dawtnak cu a dong kho lomi a si ti hngalh awkah auh kan si. A ṭhawng lomi lungthawhnak he a kan dawi, kan muihnak caan chung lam a kan ceuter. Hi dawtnak hi Mary Magdalene tuanbia ah dawhbik in a langh kha kan hmuh, amah cu thlan ah a dir i a lung a fak i amah lawngin a dir.

Johan Thawngṭha chungah, Dal 20, catlang 1 in 8 tiang ah a thoṭhanmi Khrih he a lung a fahtermi tonnak kong kan hmuh. Cu zinglei suimilam hna ahcun, thlan cu a  lawng i, a lungthin cu ngaihchiatnak in a khat. A lungdonghnak muihnak chungah a tlau i a ṭap i a dir. Sihmanhsehlaw chuahtak dingin a hun i mer tikah, a min in a auhmi kha a theih. “Rabbouni!” tiin caang 16 ah a au, a Saya, a Khamhtu kha a hngalh. Hi caan ahhin, pumpak tonnak nih rianṭuannak a hruai hlan ah zeitindah a um ti kha kan hmuh. Mary Magdalene cu a hlan ah a harnak le ningzahnak nih a langhtermi nu cu Lamkaltu hna sinah Lamkaltu ah a cang. Thawhṭhannak a hmu hmasa bikmi a si, ruahchannak thawngpang a phorh hmasa bikmi a si, zeicahtiah Amah nih amah le amah kha a hngalh i a kawh. Pope Francis nih Pathian dawtnak nih kan min in a kan auh ti kha a kan theihter. Magdalene nih sualnak zeihmanh, ngaihchiatnak zeihmanh nih a rianṭuannak in a kan hlawt lo tiah a kan cawnpiak ti   kha a langhter. Mary Magdalene cu thlichia a tuar cangmi le muihnak a tongmi hna lakah a rawkmi hna caah bawmtu nu ah a dir.

Nihin kan vawlei ah, cu ceunak a herhmi tampi kan ton hna, ramlak meikanghnak le ti lian bantuk thilnung rawhralnak in a tuarmi hna, kan nunnak a kan dohtu zawtnak hrik nih a tlunhmi hna. Minung nih kan chuahpimi ngaihchiatnak, ral, hremnak le dinlonak hna nih kan khua le kan thinlung ah hma a kan chiahtakmi fahnak zong kan hmuh. Cun mi tampi nih zuritnak he i dohnak, lungdonghnak he i dohnak, le dawtmi hna sunghnak fakpi an inmi pumpak muihnak zan hna kha philh hlah u sih. Hi muihnak caan ahhin, Mary Magdalene sinin thazaang kan lak khawh. Zan ah Khrih kan kawl a hau. Amah nih a kawl bantukin, kannih zong nih kan tonmi harnak chungah hmuh khawh kan i zuam ve awk a si. Kan intuarnak le kan lunghrinhnak kha kan hrial awk a si lo. Cu nakin, kan cohlan awk a si, zeicahtiah kan muihnak caan ah Khrih ceunak kha thukpi in kan ton tawn. Kan min a kan auhnak zong kan ngaih a hau. Mary nih a Khamhtu aw a hngalh bantukin, kannih zong cu Pathian bia aw kha kan cohlan khawh ve. Pumpak tonnak nih a kan thlen. Kanmah lawng kan si bal lo i dawtmi kan si zungzal ti a kan hngalhtertu a si. Kan intuarnak chungah “nan sinah ka um zungzal” tiah a chimmi kan theih khawh.

A donghnak ah, a missionary lungthawhnak he kan tli a hau. Mary Magdalene nih thawhṭhannak thawngṭha chim awkah a tli bantukin kannih zong Khrih ceunak kha vawlei ah lak awkah kawh kan si ve. Ruahchannak a kengtu si awkah, khuadei nih a mui bikmi zan a zulh ti kha midang theihter awkah auh kan si. Nihin hihmun in kan chuahtak tikah, Mary Magdalene thlarau (lungput) kha i ken hna u sih. Kanmah le kan zan cio ah Khrih kha kawl hna u sih, a min in a kan auhnak kha ngai hna u sih, cun vawleicung ah a dawtnak hrawmh ding rian he tlik hna u sih. Muihnak chungah a tlaumi hna caah ruahchannak meiinn si hna u sih, zeicahtiah khuadei cu vancung khua leng ah a um zungzal ti kha kan hngalh. A der bal lomi Khrih dawtnak nih kan khualtlawnnak ah kan dirkamh ko seh. Cun a mui bikmi zan hnu ah khuadei a hung chuak ṭhan lai ti kha philh hlah u sih. Amen.
