Mary Magdalene Encounters the Risen Lord — The First Witness of the Resurrection
【聖言導引】
在復活節的清晨,瑪利亞瑪達肋納在墳墓前憂傷地尋找耶穌。當復活的主站在她面前並呼喚她的名字時,所有的痛苦都化為了喜樂。她是第一位見證主復活的人,也被稱為「宗徒中的宗徒」,提醒我們主與每個人都有著一份專屬且親密的連結。
【聖經經文】
「耶穌對她說:『瑪利亞!』她便轉身用希伯來語對祂說:『辣步尼!』就是說『老師』。」——《若望福音 20:16》
【藝術賞析】
認出的瞬間: 畫面右側是下跪、充滿驚訝與崇敬的瑪利亞瑪達肋納;左側則是顯現光榮、神情溫柔的復活主耶穌。
園中的相遇: 耶穌手中可能持有代表復活勝利的旗幟或保持著祝福的手勢,背景則是以磨砂細線勾勒出的園林景觀。
神聖的光芒: 透過蝕刻技術,耶穌的身影散發出淡淡的光暈,象徵祂已經戰勝了死亡。
【心靈反思】
聖女小德蘭曾說:「天主並不需要我們的壯舉,祂只需要我們對祂的愛。」瑪利亞瑪達肋納對主的執著與熱愛,正是小德蘭所推崇的典範。願我們在生活中感到困惑或失去方向時,也能靜心聆聽,感受復活的主正在身旁呼喚我們的名字。

Theme: Mary Magdalene Encounters the Risen Lord
Introduction:On the morning of Easter, Mary Magdalene stood before the tomb, searching for Jesus in deep sorrow. When the risen Lord stood before her and called her by name, all her pain was transformed into joy. As the first witness to the Lord’s Resurrection, she is also known as the "Apostle to the Apostles," reminding us that the Lord shares a unique and intimate bond with each and every one of us.
Scripture: "Jesus said to her, 'Mary!' She turned and said to him in Hebrew, 'Rabbouni,' which means Teacher." (John 20:16)
