UNDAILY Episode 103
When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it. Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country. These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either. Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen. He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
MARK 16, 9-15 (NIV)
The last words of the Gospel according to Saint Mark bring us closer to the scenes when the Resurrected Jesus appeared to His disciples. Thus, a brief period of doubt and fear came to an end, and at the same time, a new chapter of mission and faith opened. In these events lies a truth capable of radically transforming our lives, if only we open our hearts to it. Let's focus on the figure of Mary Magdalene. She is the woman from whom Jesus cast out seven demons, which marks the beginning of an extraordinary metamorphosis. It was she who first saw the Resurrected Christ. How surprising it is that God chose a woman with a somewhat... "turbulent" past to be the herald of this joyful news.
