Two Kinds of Grave

The gospels speak of two kinds of grave.

One was whitewashed, the other was empty.

The whitewashed grave is the symbol of the false facade,
     of the outwardly beautiful appearance that does not last.

The empty grave was the grave of the God-man, Jesus Christ,
     the one who was himself emptied….

Around the emptiness of the grave were born both
     the hope of the future and the Church,
     which was, is and must always be
     the Message of what is to come.
