Gospel:
John 20:11-18
Mary
Magdalene stayed outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent over into
the tomb and saw two angels in white sitting there one at the head and one at
the feet where the Body of Jesus had been. And they said to her, “Woman, why
are you weeping? She said to them, “They have taken my Lord, and I don’t know
where they laid him. When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus
there, but did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you
weeping? Whom are you looking for? She thought it was the gardener and said to
him,“ Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take
him. Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew,
“Rabbouni, which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, “Stop holding on to me, for
I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them,‘I
am going to my Father and your Father to my God and your God.’Mary went and
announced to the disciples,“I have seen the Lord, and then reported what he had
told her.

Reflection:
Do you
always recognize the manifestation of Jesus in your life? Certainly in so many
ways Jesus always manifest Himself to you in everyday of your life you simply
need to carefully discern it to feel His presence.
For
example in your desire to follow Him there are times that you get lost and do
things as what we want to do it. But somehow Jesus would always find a way to
redirect your life to Him. He would straighten you and make you understand that
He is there to remind you that you need not lose hope for He’s there for you,
you only need to trust Him.
Mary of
Magdala was weeping outside the tomb for she did not found Jesus. Perhaps she
thought that Jesus’ body was desecrated until Jesus manifested Himself to her.
Instantly her feeling of hopelessness was immediately replaced by joyfulness.
And then she joyfully went to the disciples and told them that she met and had
spoken with Jesus.
