I wonder...

Mark 16:9

... what Mary Magdalen felt as she stood there looking at Jesus after his resurrection. The Gospel of Mark tells us that after his resurrection he appeared to her first: this woman who he cast seven demons out of. She must have felt so much love for him! She must have been so excited to see him! I wonder if she gave him a hug or kissed him. Did she just collapsed in awe? Or, did she do a happy dance? I think that she must have felt those feelings that jump down into our stomach or ride in our chest when we reunite with an old friend or family who we have not seen in a very long time.

Every day is a resurrection day for us, a resurrection people! Each moment is an opportunity for us to express love! After all, they're supposed to know us by our love. Sit a moment today and imagine that you are Mary Magdalen... what do you feel? How will you allow that to change you?

Journey with us to Pentecost... The Fire is warm and waiting.

Pax Tecum!
