My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
MARY!
(Jn 20:16)
With Mary Magdalene, keep searching for Jesus, then recognize Him. He calls you by name.
Jesus says to her: Mary. Jesus is not recognized when he calls her "woman"; so He calls her by name, as though He were saying: Recognize me as I recognize you; for I do not know you as I know others; I know you as yourself. And so Mary, once addressed by name, recognizes who is speaking. She immediately calls Him rabboni; that is to say, teacher, because the one whom she sought outwardly was the one who inwardly taught to her keep on searching.
(From a homily on the Gospels by Gregory the Great, pope, in Office of Readings, July 22)
SAINT MARY MAGDALENE,
SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.
