There is so much hope to be found in the story of Mary M. and Mary as they walked to the tomb where Jesus was buried and wondered how they would get to his body with the heavy stone in their way. 

All along our journeys there are situations that seem unmovable, yet time and time again we arrive to a, "stone rolled away." My hope for us this week is that we can find strength in the sacred space of solidarity, and in the invitation of the Risen Jesus to continue journeying even if you don't know how it will end. 

Listen until the end of the episode to hear my raw 5:20am reflections on Marks account of this story of the journey towards the stone rolled away and the invitation given to these women as the first to experience the Risen Jesus.
