Easter Consolation

"What He and Mary experienced,
Was it not sweet above all secrets,
That He, a little pale still from the grave,
Went to her first, wholly resurrected,
And they were unutterably united in healing...
They had no need to touch each other firmly,
As He laid his hand on the mother's shoulder,
And they began quietly, infinitely together,
Their enduring and close communion,
And eternal consolation." JM
