Monday, July 22, 2013 St. Mary Magdalen (Memorial) First Reading: Exodus 14:5-18 Psalm: Exodus 15:1-6 Gospel: John 20:1-2, 11-18 Sick, our nature demanded to be healed; fallen, to be raised up; dead, to rise again. We had lost the possession of the good; it was necessary for it to be given back to us. Closed in the darkness, it was necessary to bring us the light; captives, we awaited a Saviour; prisoners, help; slaves, a liberator. Are these things minor or insignificant? Did they not move God to descend to human nature and visit it, since humanity was in so miserable and unhappy a state? -- St. Gregory of Nyssa
