Today we honor Mary Magdalene whose repentance, faithfulness and love brought her first to the empty tomb, and first to see the risen Jesus. It was not an immediate recognition, as the story unfolds, and it is quite astounding that she who spent so much time with Jesus did not recognize him. It took HIS initiative to awaken her powers of recognition.
How often each day do we walk past people, even talk to them, and yet not acknowledge that Jesus is present in each one of them? It takes a poke from Jesus, or perhaps a slice of bread to remind us of the great truth that we meet Jesus daily in each other. May Mary's faithfulness and passion for Jesus rub off on us, open our eyes, and move our hearts to loving recognition of our Lord and best friend, Jesus.
