Why was Mary Magdalene the first one to see the tomb empty? I can think of one simple answer – because she was there. She was present.

Many times, we miss something very important because we are not there. We are either busy with something else or avoiding the opportunity to see and experience the moment because of fear or other concerns.

May we always be present in the moment to witness miracles unfold before our eyes. It is only when we are truly present that we can see the Lord manifesting Himself to us in different ways.

A Call to Action for Catholic Living: Stay present in the moment, open your heart, and witness the miracles God is revealing to you.
