Seeing the obvious is often harder than seeing the hidden!

This Gospel presents Mary Magdalene at Jesus’ tomb. Initially she does not perceive the presence of the Christ. Such encounters are not unique to her. The recognition of the risen Jesus often takes time on the part of his disciples.... (www.catholic365.com)
