John 20:15

"When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus."

Key Reflection

This verse highlights Mary Magdalene's initial recognition struggle, symbolizing the often gradual process of spiritual discernment as one encounters Christ. Her not immediately knowing who Jesus is underscores the importance of presence and encounter in faith, even when identity may be unclear at first.
