The day of rest done, she goes there early in the morning.\u00a0 She sees that it is open.\u00a0 Puzzled, she hurries to report it to Peter and the beloved disciple.<\/p>\n<p>The report worries them.\u00a0 They run together to the tomb, which they find empty.<\/p>\n<p>The burial cloths and the rolled-up cloth that covered Jesus\u2019 head do not indicate robbery.\u00a0 We sometimes do not grasp reality on account of our worries.\u00a0 Far from being like the beloved disciple, we do not get it right to be able to see and believe.<\/p>\n<p>And so, Mary, noticing that the stone has been removed from the tomb, thinks the worst:\u00a0 \u201cThey have taken the Lord from the tomb.\u201d\u00a0 Jesus\u2019 predictions about his resurrection on the third do not occur at all to her.\u00a0\u00a0 Later, her tears making dim her vision, she will mistake the Teacher for a gardener.\u00a0 The one who will draw her out of her current state of mind will not be one or the other of the angels, but only Jesus.\u00a0 He says to her, \u201cMary.\u201d\u00a0 She replies, \u201cRabbouni.\u201d\u00a0 He will subsequently confirm her in her apostleship:\u00a0 she will send her to his brothers to bring them good news.<\/p>\n<p>It is Jesus who chooses us, of course, and not we who choose him (Jn. 15:16).\u00a0 Even if we are warned about our emotions possibly blinding us, this is no reason to belittle the one who gets excited.\u00a0 May Judas serve as a warning to us:\u00a0 in spite of his being chosen, he ended up being a devil (Jn. 6:70), probably because he completely got discouraged when Jesus made clear his rejection of power, money and glory.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, there is need for Mary\u2019s loving excitement and restless seeking, so that we may dare brave the darkness and seek the light.\u00a0 Were it not for her contagious initiative, if we left everything in the hands of leaders, would the understanding of the Scripture regarding Jesus\u2019 resurrection be so quickly set in motion in the Church?\u00a0 Admittedly, one reputed leader, running faster than the other, shows impulsiveness.\u00a0 But he only takes a peek and does not enter until the arrival and entrance of the other who does not run as fast, letting his impulse be moderated by the other who appears to be less impetuous and a little more reflective.<\/p>\n<p>Precisely because balance must be struck, needing Mary\u2019s excitement is a patriarchal surrounding where men carry a lot weight while women are hardly counted on when it comes to \u201cthinking of, deciding on, and promoting the course to be taken by the Church\u201d (J.A. Pagola, \u201cWomen Believers\u201d), notwithstanding their being in the front line in efforts to go about doing good, to witness to Jesus\u2019 resurrection and to proclaim the good news to the poor.\u00a0 We need the single-minded and bubbling devotion of the women followers of Jesus, so that, focused on Christ, we will guard us against sloth, \u201cthe vice of ecclesiastics\u201d\u2014says St. Vincent de Paul\u2014or tepidity, \u201ca state of damnation\u201d (Coste VIII, 112), and work hard to make everything here below according the pattern we see above.\u00a0 The Church needs Mary who will teach it to accept and give affection and respect, and to inspire\u2014for example, through gestures of poverty and humility, like those of Pope Francis\u2014even the weariest, whose suffering and problems it cannot remedy.<\/p>\n<p>And there is need for women who will attend to the crushed body of Christ and impel us to penetrate the Scriptures and recall, with burning and grateful hearts, that the Messiah suffered, as foretold by the prophets, in order to enter into his glory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Their story seemed like nonsense and they did not believe them (Lk. 24:11) Mary of Magdala cannot wait till she visits the tomb.
