Bede the Venerable, on Mark 16:9

“But he rising early the first day of the week, appeared first to Mary Magdalen, out of whom he had cast seven devils.”

“(ubi sup.) John tells us most fully how and when this appearance took place. But the Lord rose in the morning from the sepulchre in which He had been laid in the evening, that those words of the Psalm might be fulfilled, Heaviness may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. (Ps. 30:5)”
