Easter: Love Embodied

“Mary Magdalene is the embodiment of a love that reaches where it never has before."

Easter: Love Embodied

Magdalene is most associated with Easter, with the resurrection, because she was the one there at the tomb, the one who waited in the dark, past his death and absence. She was the one he resurrected to. She was the first to see him, and she only recognized it was him when he called her by name.

It’s significant to realize that she didn't just happen to be there, in the right place at the right time. There's a prominence inherent in the fact that she was the one to be there, to see him first. There’s a love we’ve overlooked for so long. The human love between two people, as a love that never ends. And I think it’s time we recognize it. 

I have always wondered how the story of the resurrection would shift fundamentally if we realized it was also a story about a love we all possess. That when we can let love reach where it has never been before, our past the ego’s idea of self, then we quite literally come back to life. We die, and resurrect. Hopefully several times at least before we pass away, into whatever’s next for us.”
