I meditate on the picture of Mary Magdalene and Jesus meeting (seen at the bottom of this blog) many times a month, it seems. I, like many others who are depressed or are in a "Dark Night of the Soul", may answer as she did. We are in darkness, we neither see, nor feel the presence of our Lord. We don't know where he is! Of course we are weeping! We are lost and alone.
Then Jesus, Love Incarnate, calls our heroine by name: Mary.
We know that we may "hold him" later, after his Ascension. Now.
And Mary is our Mother. Now.
Praise be Jesus Christ, now and forever.
