When they enter the tomb, they discover the burial cloths folded up. Once we enter into baptismal life, we leave behind us the old man and vest ourselves in Christ. The garment of the risen body is not the garment of death. Whenever one encounters the resurrection of Christ, one changes “habit” in the sense of habits of life. The tradition was that newly baptised adults would wear a white garment for the first week after baptism, then they would deposit this garment on the tomb of a martyr. It was worn for one week only to signify passage from a habit (in the sense of a garment) to a habitual way of life. When one encounters new life, one leaves behind the old habits and objects that no longer serve. Then Peter too enters, sees and believes. Finally he is opened to the work of God and realizes that this is not the end but the beginning. Up to now, the apostles understood using their own categories of thought, but now it will be the Scriptures that will give them the categories for understanding what has happened.
