Easter Tuesday

“They have taken my Lord, and I don’t know where they laid him.” John 20:13

And what can be said of Mary Magdalene? She stood weeping by the empty tomb with the sole desire to know where they had taken her Lord. She encounters him and only recognizes him when he calls her by name (cf. Jn 20: 11-18). If we seek the Lord with a simple and sincere mind, we too will find him; indeed, he himself will come to meet us; he will make us recognize him, he will call us by name, that is, he will admit us to the intimacy of his love. ~Pope Benedict XVI, 4/11/07

It is You, dear Lord -- You are the only one. May I seek no other. Amen.
