Living in Love with God

In her grief Mary Magdalene is unable to recognize Jesus. This may seem strange. How could she not recognize him? However, it is easier than we may think, and, in fact, we may at times experience the same thing. At times we can be so upset, so anxious, so grief stricken that our focus is on ourselves, and we are unaware of our surroundings or realize who is with us. 

The fact is we can live life like this. We are so focused on ourselves: our problems, our anxieties, the injustices inflicted upon us that we fail to recognize people reaching out to us or even the presence of Christ in our midst.We need to take some time each day to slow down and to refocus our minds and hearts.
