Mary and Mary and the resurrection

Matthew
When the angel of the Lord came down to roll the stone away from the tomb, the guards were so scared, they "became like dead men".  That must have been a sight!  And yet, the two women, Mary and Mary, although afraid, were completely receptive to the angel's message and hurried off to tell the disciples of the good news about Jesus's resurrection.  Perhaps the spirit of God resonated within them and helped them believe these almost outrageous news.  As they were running to the disciples, Jesus himself appeared to them.  I wonder if he did so just to reinforce the truth of the message.  I'm impressed by these women.  We aren't privy to the entire story or all the details, but they really seem to have it together during this supernatural experience.
