Mary witnessed the beginning of our understanding of the Holy Trinity as she spoke to Jesus after visiting the tomb. We have a tendency to see this as a single discovery that makes our faith real, (she sees Jesus and now believes the unbelievable  … that He is risen) but it’s more about the relationship between Jesus, the Son of God, returning to His father. John’s Gospel sees it as Jesus passing into a totally different reality as he begins His journey returning to the Father, as Father and Son are reunited. Through Mary’s exposure in seeing the risen Christ, our understanding of the Blessed Trinity begins to emerge, and the true Christology of Jesus’s mission begins to unfold. Let us meditate on this meeting and the words in this Gospel.
