"Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?' Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, 'Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away.' Jesus said to her, 'Mary!' She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, 'Rabboni!' (which means, Teacher). Jesus said to her, 'Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’'Mary Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, 'I have seen the Lord,' and that He had said these things to her."
John 20:15-18

I think it is so beautiful that she recognizes Him when He calls her by her name.

St. Mary Magdalene, pray for me that I may be a witness to Christ's resurrection as you were. I also pray that I may have the grace to recognize Him when He calls me by name. Amen.
