Thank you, Christine ❤️ Sometimes I wonder if the back-story of how it was written is necessary, but I always love to read how people crafted their work. So I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Alli wow! I was just thinking of what this scene might be like while praying the rosary this morning on Easter Sunday and I opened my email after and here it is! What a great and thoughtful retelling of this Gospel passage! Thank you for sharing and for your thoughtful explanation afterwards. The story really came to life. I love all the little details about the dirt and especially how Jesus chuckles.
Thank you so much, Erika! I love that this story met you right as you were pondering it :)
That scene of Mary hugging Jesus has been creatively framed so many ways; but I’ve always imagined it as a dusty, joyful reunion filled with laughter. I’m glad that image spoke to you too!
I appreciate that, Gary! I’ve always felt that Jesus meeting Mary Magdalene with such gentleness in her moment of pain and confusion offers beautiful insight into how He meets each of us. I loved reflecting on that moment from her perspective!
Thank you, Erin! Mary Magdalene narratives offer such rich, tender moments in scripture. It was a joy to consider how those moments felt to her on a personal level.
Gorgeous--as always! Thanks for adding your own writerly back-story.
