Today, I rejoice because the LORD IS RISEN! RISEN indeed, Alleluia!

But even more, I rejoice…because He calls me by name. I bear the name…

MARY MAGDALENE.

The first witness of the Resurrection, the one sent to proclaim the greatest news in history:

“I have seen the Lord.”

Alleluia!

An Easter Prayer:

Risen Lord,

like Mary Magdalene,

teach me to seek You in the early dawn of my life,

to recognize Your voice in the ordinary moments,

and to proclaim Your presence with joy and conviction.

May my life become a quiet testimony that You are alive,

and that love has the final word. AMEN
