Jesus said to her, Mary!

“Jesus said to her, ‘Mary!’ She turned and said to him in Hebrew, ‘Rabbouni,’ which means Teacher.” (JN 20: 16)

We are called by name. We are not anonymous believers, members of an organization; we are His children, chosen from our mothers’ wombs; we are known by our names from our beginning. When recognized and called and when in relationship with Him, we can lead others to Him.

“Tell us, Mary, what did you see on the way? I saw the glory of the risen Christ, I saw his empty tomb.” (Gospel Acclamation)
