She told them in her excitement that she "had seen the risen Lord!".Jesus is alive and among us today. How do we see the risen Lord? Do we see him in others, in the poor, in the stranger, in those needing a home? Do we see Jesus in our family, our friends? Do we see Jesus in those we have a hard time getting along with?
What is our witness like to others who meet us? Are others able to see the risen Jesus alive in me? If others have a hard time seeing Jesus in me, then perhaps we need to be a little more recognizable as Jesus.

dear sister thank you for this good post. I was granted a deep understanding on this topic only a few days ago, that when Mary sings her song Lk 1.46, Jesus is within her, and he is singing with her, so that Mary is Jesus and Jesus is Mary, and that Magdalena in recognizing Jesus, who recognized her goodness so well, is also recognizing her own self -- thanks to him, she is lifted up, and her goodness is lifting us up by her prayer -- this is also Jesus, thank you always OSB for your prayers and holy service, God bless, amen
