Saturday in the Easter Octave – Acts 4:13-21; Mark 16:9-15
Mary Magdalene is rightly known as the apostle to the apostles, for she was the first to bring the joyful news of the Resurrection to the disciples. Yet not all were ready to believe her. Grief had clouded their hearts, and despair made it difficult to receive words of hope.
How hard it is for a soul weighed down by sorrow to trust in new life. And yet Christ does not give up on us. He does not remain distant, but comes near again and again, patiently inviting us to believe that He is truly alive. The steadfast mercy of God in the face of our unbelief is a profound mystery.
Risen Lord, when my heart is darkened by fear or sadness, help me always to see Your light. In these troubled times, I ask too for hope for all who feel lost in despair and uncertainty. Fill us with the joy of Your Resurrection, and teach us to be bearers of that hope to others.
