Bright Monday

"Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."
Matthew 28:10

His mercy endures forever. Jesus reveals to his disciples where to meet him, and it is the place where he first met and called them. It is an invitation to return, to make a new beginning; a reminder of their first love for the Master. Jesus did not abandon those who abandoned him, and was never angry about their desertion and denial of him, but rather called them to growth and healing, for gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger and abounding in kindness, and he will not abandon my soul to the nether world, not suffer his faithful one to undergo corruption.
