Mary Magdalene’s sadness was turned into joy when she recognised Jesus and she immediately went to tell the disciples that she has seen him.

Through the resurrection of Jesus we celebrate the joy of his victory over sin and death. It is the basic tenet of the Christian faith. How does the grace of the Resurrection affect me? I pray that I may welcome with joy the message of the risen Jesus, believing in the power of his presence in my life.
