In today’s first reading, Paul confirmed the resurrection of all. He said that if Jesus didn’t rise from the dead then our faith is vain. If Jesus was resurrected so shall we.

The gospel is very short. Jesus traveled and was accompanied by the 12 and some women. That’s it. I’m not sure if this is the first account of Mary Magdalene. It said she was freed from 7 demons. My commentary said that there must have been joy in the encounters with Jesus. Amen!
