Recognizing the Risen Christ

Mary Magdalene encounters the risen Jesus outside the tomb but does not recognize Him until He speaks her name. This moment reveals how Christ meets us personally amid our confusion and grief. In our own lives, the risen Christ calls us by name, inviting us to recognize His presence even when we least expect it.
