The Joy of Sharing Resurrection News
My dear son,
May this morning include the gladness of sharing good news. The risen Jesus called the disciples his brothers and sent word that he was returning to me. He told them that his Father was their Father too.
Enjoy with gratitude the closeness that lets you call me Father. Welcome one another in the love that calls you into my family. Having someone with whom to share faith is itself a precious reason for joy.
Read the resurrection news slowly today and offer thanks in your own words. If you share it with someone, tell truthfully what you have heard. I want you to discover the joy of life together.
With all my love,
Your Father
John 20:17–18
WEB17Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.
A short reflection
The risen Jesus sends Mary to tell his brothers that he is ascending to the Father, and she reports the news to the disciples.
