The message to Mary Magdalene
In her great fear
He read love
and had known how intensely she adored Him
when in the garden grieving and half orphaned
she walked almost stumbling,
as if stripped of all hope
without being able to really comprehend
how to come to Him, to talk to Him
or about the reason of His love, His very existence
and when He appeared so suddenly next to her
she was overwhelmed, totally astonished
and almost blinded for a moment her eyes left Him
as if she was finding him too inundating, but she wanted
to come to Him with arms wide open, come to Him with pain and fear
wanted to wrap her arms adoring around Him,
wanted to make Him her property
and then she realized
that He is God, is mightily with all of mankind
and knew in fulfilment of her fear,
that His selfless love goes to everyone.
