Mary of Magdala,
What joy you felt as you embraced
the Risen One!
We share your joy this day as the Risen Christ embraces us too!
Jesus, who called you by name,"Mary!" calls each of us by name,
Long ago, Jesus sent you, as apostle to the apostles, to proclaim the Good News , the Easter Proclamation that resounds through eternity!
Now, Jesus sends us to proclaim the Gospel by our words and deeds!
"Go to the sisters and brothers and tell them, 'I'm ascending to my Abba and to your Abba, my God and your God." Mary of Magdala went to the disciples. "I have seen the Teacher."
May we, like you, be joyful witnesses of the Good News wherever we are and wherever God sends us.
May we, like you, celebrate women as equal images of the divine.
May we, like you, live Jesus' example of Gospel equality.
May we, like you, ignite a fire of love for justice, peace and equality as we live our priestly ministry in communities of equals serving God and others, especially those most in need of loving kindness and compassion.
Alleluia! Christ is risen, indeed risen!
Bridget Mary Meehan
