Believe
Mary’s testimony to the twelve is a testimony that rings true today. We too, often find ourselves living in a world where truth and love seem to have been vanquished. We too, feel the strong urge to hide indoors, to wait out the storm. We too, are often confused, hurt, left with our own bitter tears or stunned and fearful silence. But look. Mary Magdalene approaches. And on her lips, in a voice of calm joy, Mary says, “I have seen the Lord. Do not fear, only believe.”
