The disciples no longer have the immediate presence of Jesus, but they have each other.

Jesus is giving his disciples his last teachings, telling them to wait for the coming of the Holy Spirit and not to leave Jerusalem until this happens, for when he comes, he will give them the power to become witnesses of Jesus’ redemptive work.
The disciples are eager to know what is next; they begin to guess if the amazing events they have witnessed mean that the kingdom of Israel will be restored.
What’s next? I had my personal experience with Jesus as my Lord and Savior; now, I am a member of the Church, and I want to know more about this new beginning in my faith. How can I grow and know more?
Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and the other women at the tomb.
The Acts of the Apostles is Luke’s second book to Theophilus, the first being the Gospel of Luke.
The women feel this way because Jesus is gone, replaced by two angels.
On Sunday morning, the women find the tomb empty, and they return to the disciples and tell them what the angels had told them.
The women have gone to the tomb to make an offering to this person for whom they had a very special appreciation.
I remember when we went to the US Consulate in Juarez, Chihuahua, MX.
