Woman weeping
Twice in today’s gospel passage the question is asked: “Woman, why are you weeping?” (John 20:11 – 18)
As in yesterday’s passage there is a heaviness that overtakes us when we have lost a friend, a confidant, a mentor. Tears flow easily, emotions are high.
On hearing her name, she immediately recognizes the voice of her “Rabbouni”.
Her response: to tell the community what she has seen and heard. To proclaim the Good News.
