John 12: 1-2, 11-18

On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, "They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don't know where they put him."

Mary stayed outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent over into the tomb and saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet where the Body of Jesus had been. And they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken my Lord, and I don't know where they laid him." When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" She thought it was the gardener and said to him, "Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him." Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni," which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, "Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and then reported what he told her.

Dawg's Thought:

Today's prayer intention - for Maggie's Place.

They have taken my Lord.

They have tried to hide Him by hiding His commands. They have tried to hide Him by hiding the way He created everything. They have tried to hide Him by hiding His Bride, the Church.

They tried, but Jesus rose on the third day. They tried, but Jesus appeared to those who placed their faith in Him. They tried, but Jesus is Lord.

We know that for as much as "they" have tried, they cannot take away my God and your God. they cannot take away He Who rose on the third day. Death has no power of Him; sin has no power over Him. Instead, it is He, Jesus Christ, Who has power over death and sin. It is Jesus Christ Who encounters us.

We who have encountered Christ, the Risen Christ, know that He cannot be taken. Let us be responsible for this knowledge and imitate Mary Magdalene, proclaiming, "I have seen the Lord." When Moses saw the Lord, He was transformed and everyone could see that he saw the Lord.

Knowing that we have encounter Christ ... the Risen Christ ... the One Whom cannot be taken ... let us live our lives in this freedom, proclaiming "I have seen the Lord."

Take care and God Bless.
