When Mary finds the tomb empty, she stands weeping at the vacant grave. Jesus, mysteriously appearing as the gardener, asks her: “Why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” This Easter reflection invites us to come as we are, hopeful, weary, or simply going through the motions, and to encounter something real. Like Mary Magdalene, we often arrive carrying grief, confusion, or unmet expectations, unable to recognize resurrection right in front of us. But everything changes when Jesus calls her by name, reminding us that resurrection becomes real when we know we are seen and loved. Easter comes alive when we do the same for others, looking them in the eye, calling them by name, and reminding them that God loves them.
