The hope of Jesus can meet you while you wait
Even among questions and tears, his presence invites you to remain open to new life you cannot yet see.
Reflection
Mary remained near the tomb while she wept and searched for answers. She recognized Jesus when he called her by name. Hope arrived in the middle of her sorrow, not after all her emotions had disappeared.
Waiting with faith does not mean guessing the outcome or denying uncertainty. It means remaining attentive, caring for your heart, and receiving available help while the story continues to unfold.
Prayer
Jesus, meet me in this waiting. Receive my questions, keep my heart open, and give me hope to live faithfully the day before me. Amen.
