Mary stood weeping outside the tomb….
Jesus said to her, “Mary!”
—John 20.1, 16
Beloved, heart of my heart,
spring of my life,
it was my tomb I wept at,
my death.
And then, Love, you called my name.
You called me out of my tomb, Love.
You are risen in me,
and I in you.
The God who sweeps away all suffering, death and fear
has done this.
I who was dead am alive again.
My grave is empty, and shall forever be.
Alleluia!
Christ is risen.
Alleluia!
