This retreat invites us to reflect on the story of Zacchaeus, who was called by In this guided meditation, we will reflect on Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the Risen Lord at the empty tomb. Through her grief, searching, and eventual recognition of Jesus, Mary invites us to consider the mystery and transforming power of the Resurrection.
We, too, may find ourselves in “tomblike” experiences of pain, loss, or uncertainty. Yet the story of Mary Magdalene reminds us that the Risen Lord meets us in these places, offering hope, healing, and profound peace. This meditation invites us to open our hearts to the possibility of new life and to recognize that the story of the Resurrection is our story, too.
The retreat will include scripture, guided meditation, quiet reflection, time for sharing, and a closing prayer.
