“The resurrection stories reveal the always-present tension between coming and leaving, intimacy and distance, holding and letting go, at-homeness and mission, presence and absence. We face these tensions every day.”
(Henry Nouwen)
“Where have they taken him? Your story of the empty grave was dismissed as rambling – distraught woman – nonsense. But you returned to the empty space and stayed there – unable to leave the ground made precious by the brush of his skin. It was there, in that deep and empty space, that he whispered your name, Mary, leaping you into another world – hurtling you from reality into the Realm of God – spinning in a miracle, love saturated, as Jesus, Son of God all risen up, breathed your name – claiming you as treasured and chosen."
