John 20:11-18 Reflection – Transformation | Immersive Prayer
If Mary Magdalene cannot perceive that a gardener could be a personification of Jesus, how are we expected to look at anyone and see Jesus? If Mary could see but not touch Jesus, how are we supposed to know Christ Glorified if we cannot also touch? In both instances, Jesus made what He desired observable to the eye. We sometimes must let go of our preconceived notions of what it means to see and touch to appreciate the Word and have an active prayer life. We can do so by allowing Jesus to fill the space and time we make available just for Him. He will ascend from within, and more will be understood. Our ongoing transformation into disciples and apostles happens because of our willing participation with the Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
