Dear Lord, in today's gospel You told Mary Magdalene at Your empty tomb not to hold on to You in that You had not yet gone to the Father. You told her to go and tell the disciples what she had seen. Lord it is so hard not to hold onto You today with so many worries and problems in the world and just ignore it all. Yet there are times that we struggle with even taking your hand when You stretch it out to us because we fail to see that it is You. Jesus, stay close to us so that we can always find You, and give us the strength and courage to go into the world and tell others about You, if only through our actions that are pleasing to You. Amen. |
