Easter: In our Midst – Mary Magdalene
– Br. Michael, ofm
Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance…. Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord.”
– John 20. 1,18

St. Mary Magdalene – the Apostle to the Apostles, is our companion for this Easter Season. She is our companion as we rejoice in the good news of the resurrection. She, the one entrusted to share the good news of the resurrection of Jesus indeed walks with us helping us to see and hear good news in our life. She is our companion asking us to remember, return and recall the gifts of being an Easter people.
Come with me to the empty tomb,
Come and see what I have seen.
Come and know the truth I know
come and see: He lives! He lives!
Come with me to the empty tomb
Remember his stories and ways.
Remember his message of love so deep.
Remember the promise: He would rise!
Come with me to the empty tomb
Return with hope and great joy.
Return to your loved ones renewed.
Return with good news: Our Savior reigns!
Come with me to the empty tomb
Recall that he will be with us always.
Recall that his new life is ours too.
Recall the gift: Peace be with you!
Come with me to the empty tomb,
Come and see what I have seen.
Come and know Jesus Christ is alive.
Come and see! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Saint Mary Magdalene
