DO NOT CLING TO ME

The love of Christ overwhelms us when we reflect that if one man has died for all, then all men should be dead; and the reason he died for all was so that living men should live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised to life for them.

Saint Mary Magdalene 

From now onwards, therefore, we do not judge anyone by the standards of the flesh. Even if we did once know Christ in the flesh, that is not how we know him now.

And if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation; the old creation has gone, and now the new one is here.d to life for them.

Mass Readings

'Do not cling to me, because I have not yet ascended to my Father. But go and find the brothers, and tell them: I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' So Mary of Madgala went and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that he had said these things to her.

Lord Jesus Christ, I abandon myself to you. Grant me faith and patience that I may persevere to the end like Mary Magdalene and come to inherit your promises.
