At the Tomb with Mary Magdalene The dawn broke soft, the world still gray, She came with spices, knelt to pray. The stone was rolled, the tomb lay bare, Her heart cried out in deep despair. ‘Why seek the living among the dead?’ The angels spoke, her spirit fled. Then turned she, heard her name, so clear, A voice she loved, a voice so near. ‘Rabboni!’ cried her heart, her soul, The One she sought had made her whole. The tomb was empty, death undone, For Christ had risen, the Morning Sun (Anon) Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the risen Christ is a powerful reminder that God meets us in our sorrow and calls us by name, inviting us to share in the joy of His Resurrection
