Daily Gospel - April 11, 2023 (John 20:11-18)

John 20:11-18 Reflection: The glory of the Lord has risen upon us. Alleluia! Alleluia! How often has the Lord shown himself to us? Do we focus on Him? Or at the offer of worldly things? We have heard from the Holy Gospel that Mary Magdalene did not immediately recognize that Jesus had spoken to her in the resurrection. In our everyday struggles to work, we are encountering a different kind of people along the way and we see some of them begging on the streets. Jesus reveals himself from your officemates, or people you meet, or to those who are begging on the street. Have you given them attention? Jesus may show himself in any situations we didn’t expect. When Jesus called Mary Magdalene immediately she recognized it and then opened her eyes and called it “Rabboni” or Teacher and she immediately responded. Do you respond to and obey Jesus when he called you? Or are you still focused on worldly things? We are called to see not through our eyes, but to see in the eyes of faith. #catholic #dailygospel #gospelreading
