You know that day you lost something very important and not sure where to put it? That important document that ensures his place in that job, or that optional that you’ve just been approved.

You know those days that you are super late for an appointment and just can’t remember where you put your car keys and even start sweating cold of so much anguish?

Losing something always causes a bad feeling, anguish, it is heartbreaking. So it also in when we lose someone.

When Mary Magdalene went to the Tomb in the morning, her heart was so feeling the loss of the Lord. She asks a question.

That same thing often happens when we lose something:

Where did they put it? Where is it?

The question of the heart of Mary Magdalene was so involved in the pain of loss:

Where did they put my Lord?

It wasn’t only the loss of someone, or something, it was the loss of the sense of hope, sure. He had died and the hole in her heart was aching. Who could cap it? What to do? How to live like this? A pain so great that it took until the vision of heaven, she had because she talked to the angels and did not realize that they were angels. She looked at Jesus and thought he was a gardener; she didn’t recognize him. The pain of loss spoke louder and took away the ability to recognize the Christ.

But everything changes when he calls her by the name “Mary”. It wasn’t a call either, it was a way of saying: “I see you as the only” “you’re irreplaceable” “I’m here”.

I believe that this split second Mary did what many of us do when we lose something:

“We’re doing a retrospective of our steps, we passed, who was present, all in order to remember where you left off what we are looking for”

Yes, at that moment that Jesus called her by name, she did a retrospective of each moment lived with him, every second, which meant and that opened worlds unknown of love and mercy. And so, she can say: master, my hope!

We are living the same days of Magdalene, where did they put my Lord, my hope?

Don’t be afraid to take a look at the past and say: Master!

That no piece of our history stays indifferent to strength of the risen one! He’s here in the heart!

I want to with you say like Mary, I have seen the Lord!

Share in what situation you can say: I saw the Lord.
