"Now Jesus, having risen from death early on the first day of the week, appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons." – Mark 16:9.
Mary Magdalene is a clear example of how our God can turn our ashes into beauty. She who was plagued with seven demons, was honored by Jesus as the first person to see Him alive after He rose from the dead! Many scholars called her “The Apostle of the Apostles,” because Mary was the one who shared the Good News to Jesus’ disciples. We too, are called to follow Christ and to trust Him with boldness like Mary’s. And be ready to watch Him turn our ashes into beauty.
