Invariably Easter draws me into the company of Mary Magdalen.  Like her, I am inclined to cling with a fierce tenderness to those I love dearly. And, like her, I know the liberating power of letting love spill out, without reserve, on a multitude of persons and situations.  Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me. . . but go to my sisters and brothers.  And Mary Magdalen went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord” (John 20: 17-18)
