Today the Church honors the woman Christ chose to hear the news first. Not Peter. Not John. Mary Magdalene — the one who followed him from Galilee, who stood at the cross when the others ran, and who went to the tomb before dawn because she could not stay away. She didn't recognize him at first. Then he said her name. One word. That was all it took. Faithfulness is not dramatic. It is showing up before dawn, doing the next thing, and trusting that Christ knows your name even when you cannot see him clearly. She didn't have a plan that morning. She had love. It was enough.
"I have seen the Lord." — John 20:18
