SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND
“Seek and you will find” (Mt. 7: 7) is the crux of the Gospel passage today. Mary was searching ardently for the body of the Lord with all her heart in tears, anxiety and worry. She was intent in her search for the Lord. This is why Mary was able to discover Jesus in his “Mary”. Though Mary mistook Jesus for the gardener she recognised him instantly when Jesus called out her name. Mary sought for Jesus and she did find him in deed!
We do seek for Jesus in our prayer, reading of Bible, listening to good words and in every event that we encounter but do we find him in them all? We miss him because may be we don’t seek him intently like Mary with all our hearts. The heart that searches in hope discovers. As we are in the season of Easter let us ask for the grace to fix our hearts on God so that we might find him in the persons we relate, words that we hear, scriptures we read and in trials we face. May our mind and heart resonate with the prayer: “Lord Jesus, give me the grace to seek you and discover you in all the events of my daily life”.
