Tuesday in the Octave of Easter : Holding On to Jesus

Gospel Reading: John 20:15–17

Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She thought it was the gardener and said to him, “Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him. Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni,” which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, “Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father.”

 

My exalted Lord, may I cling to You as You cling to me.
May my heart, mind and soul be Yours.
Come live in me so that I may live in You.
I give my life to You, dear Lord, help me to offer You all that I am.
Jesus, I trust in You.
Amen.
