“The apostle to the apostles.” That’s the title of Mary Magdalene according to John’s Gospel. She is told to go tell the disciples that the Lord is risen. But as we heard in the account, Mary didn’t recognize Christ in the beginning – she thought he was the gardener. It was not until He called her by name that she understood that the Resurrected Christ was right in front of her.
As we hear the Gospel this morning, perhaps we can be invited to recognize the presence of Christ in the other – whom we think is the “gardener” – someone else.
We have to hear the Lord call us by name, so we too might be an apostle to the apostles.
