St Ignatius of Loyola invites us to seek a share in the joy of the risen Christ.

Steps

1

I ask for the grace to share in the joy of Christ risen.

 

2

I consider Christ risen and waiting in the garden for Mary Magdalene to arrive.

 

3

If I am able to, I imagine him there – looking, smelling, touching the plants, and feeling the warmth of the sun on his face.

4

If I am in a garden, I do the same.

5

I notice his joy as he takes in the creation around him.

6

I let him share his joy with me.
